This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED63X125SB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED63X125SB in place of this model. The ACE replacement is a current-production ISO 21287 compact cylinder in the same bore, stroke and force class, with a matching short body and the same mounting-accessory family, so it fits the same envelope. Confirm mounting-interface dimensions against the ACE datasheet before ordering.
Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD63X125SB

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD63X125SB
This is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder in the DIN-standard ACPD series: a 16 mm rod exits both covers of the hard-anodized aluminium body, so the 63 mm bore delivers 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa in BOTH directions, since each stroke works on the rod-side area. The through-rod resists rotation and side load, gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. A fixed TPU bumper sits at each end, speed spans 30-500 mm/s, and the male rod thread (B code) takes standard knuckles directly.
Plan on roughly 875 N of real work at 0.5 MPa (about 60% of the rating), which is a vertical lift of around 89 kg - halve it to about 44 kg if you want a 2:1 margin when picking a part weight. The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight gantries and guarding. Note this model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be mounted. The ACPD family is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is ACED63X125, same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED63X125SB (ISO 21287) carries the same bore/stroke/force class; confirm mounting-interface dimensions against the ACE datasheet before installation. Rod type: female thread (blank) or male thread (B). Thread options: PT (blank) / G.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø63mm)
| Pressure | Force (both ways) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 1458 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 2041 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 297 kgf |
Double-rod: a rod exits both covers, so output force is equal in both directions (rod-side area used).

Where the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD63X125SB Is Used
Symmetric CNC fixture clamping
The through-rod lets a 125 mm stroke clamp a machined aluminium housing from both sides of a jig with equal 1458.1 N force at 0.5 MPa, no separate pull cylinder needed.
Packaging line pusher gates
A rear rod carries the sensor flag while the front rod pushes cartons across a conveyor lane; the compact body fits inside the guard where a full-length profile cylinder will not.
Lab press and test stations
About 44 kg of vertical lift at a 2:1 margin suits repeatable sample-pressing rigs, with CMSE / DMSE switches on the -S magnet reporting both end positions.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD63X125SB with the ACED63X125SB
At 1458.1 N per side at 0.5 MPa, the 63 mm bore suits clamping and pressing where 1200-1500 N is the real target; step down to the 50 mm bore (881.2 N) for lighter jigs or up to the 80 mm bore (2356.2 N) for heavier presses. A plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put. FA/FB flange and LB foot mountings bolt to the standard face, and this -S version already carries the magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches. Since ACPD is discontinued, order ACED63X125 as the current replacement and verify the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions first.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED63X125SB
- ✓ Same bore / stroke / force class
- ✓ Confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G)
- ✓ Add -S for magnet if you need sensors
Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD63X125SB FAQ
Yes - because a rod exits both covers, both strokes use the rod-side area. At 0.5 MPa you get 1458.1 N each way, at 0.7 MPa you get 2041.3 N each way, and the maximum at 1.0 MPa is 297.4 kgf. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, speed 30-500 mm/s, air filtered to 40 um, and the 16 mm rod ends in a male thread (B code) with a 1/8" port on the 63 mm bore.
AirTAC no longer produces the ACPD family. The current-production drop-in is ACED63X125 - swap the P for an E - which matches the same 63 mm bore, 125 mm stroke and force class in the ISO 21287 short-body format. Because the ACP is DIN-standard, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before swapping, and check FA/FB flange or LB foot bracket availability at the same time.
