This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED63X35S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED63X35S 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 ACPD63X35S
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD63X35S is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 35mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED63X35S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD63X35S
Double acting with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD63X35S pushes and pulls with identical force - 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa in each direction, since both strokes work on the rod-side area of the 63 mm bore. 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, and speed spans 30-500 mm/s.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which suits tight jigs, guards and gantries. This unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clipped on for end-position sensing. Note the ACPD family is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is ACED63X35 (same bore, stroke and force class) - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. As a sizing rule, plan on about 875 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts roughly 74 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED63X35S (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 ACPD63X35S Is Used
Symmetric CNC fixture clamping
The equal 1458.1 N force in both directions lets one cylinder clamp and release a machined aluminium housing with the same grip either way inside a 35 mm envelope.
Push-pull transfer on packaging lines
A rod on each cover lets the back rod drive a return flag while the front rod pushes cartons, keeping the 63 mm bore cycle repeatable at 30-500 mm/s.
Position-monitored lift column
With the -S magnet fitted, CMSE / DMSE switches confirm top and bottom of stroke on a 74 kg vertical lift task in a bottling gantry.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD63X35S with the ACED63X35S
At 1458.1 N per side at 0.5 MPa, the 63 mm bore sits mid-range: step down to the 50 mm bore (881.2 N both ways) for lighter clamping, or up to the 80 mm bore (2356.2 N) for heavier presses. The 35 mm stroke is well inside the 250 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it ships as a standard build. Because a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay held. FA/FB flange and LB foot mounts bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face. Order ACED63X35 as the current replacement.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED63X35S
- ✓ 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 ACPD63X35S FAQ
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, force is equal in both directions: 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum of 297.4 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
The hard-anodized aluminium body follows the short ISO 21287-class format, saving about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end and a female M10x1.5 rod thread. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches can be mounted. It is discontinued - the drop-in successor is ACED63X35; confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
