This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED63X35SB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED63X35SB 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 ACPD63X35SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD63X35SB 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 ACED63X35SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD63X35SB
Double acting with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD63X35SB pushes and pulls with identical force - 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction, because each stroke works on the rod-side area. The 63 mm bore drives a 16 mm through-rod over a 35 mm stroke, and the male rod thread (B code) bolts straight to I/Y knuckles. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clipped on for end-of-stroke sensing.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into tight welding jigs and press fixtures. In practical terms, plan on about 875 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa, or roughly 74 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. Note the fixed TPU bumper at each end only decelerates the piston - it never holds a load if air is lost. The ACPD family is discontinued; the current-production drop-in is ACED63X35, and you should confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED63X35SB (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 ACPD63X35SB Is Used
Symmetric weld-fixture clamping
The equal 1458.1 N force in both directions lets one cylinder clamp and release a bracket with the same pressure, simplifying the air circuit on a robotic welding cell.
Reciprocating slide drive
A rod on each cover drives a slide forward and back at identical speed and force, with the rear rod doubling as a mount point for a sensor flag.
Compact press-station eject
About 74 kg of vertical lift at a 2:1 margin suits ejecting stamped housings from a nest where the short body must fit under a guard.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD63X35SB with the ACED63X35SB
At 1458.1 N per side at 0.5 MPa, the 63 mm bore sits between the 50 mm bore (881.2 N) and the 80 mm bore (2356.2 N) - step down if your fixture is over-tuned, step up for heavier clamping. The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. If your stroke needs exceed the 250 mm maximum standard for this bore, a made-to-order length is possible. Choose ACED63X35 as the current replacement and verify the ISO 21287 footprint first.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED63X35SB
- ✓ 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 ACPD63X35SB FAQ
Output 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. Because a rod exits both covers, both strokes use the rod-side area, so there is no push-versus-pull difference. This model carries the -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be mounted for position feedback.
Yes - the ACPD family is discontinued. The current-production successor is ACED63X35 (swap the P for an E), an ISO 21287 compact cylinder in the same 63 mm bore, 35 mm stroke and force class. Before swapping, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions, since the ACP was built to the DIN standard. The replacement keeps the hard-anodized aluminium body, S45C hard-chrome rod, fixed TPU bumpers and FA/FB flange or LB foot mounting options.
