This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED63X45B, the same code under the new prefix. 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 ACPD63X45B
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD63X45B is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 45mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED63X45B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD63X45B
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod through both covers, the ACPD63X45B pushes and pulls with identical force because both strokes work on the rod-side area: 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction. The 63 mm bore drives a 16 mm male-threaded rod (the B code) from each end, and the through-rod resists rotation and side load while the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. This model is discontinued; the current-production direct is the ISO 21287 ACED63X45.
The short hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs and gantry frames. Fixed TPU bumpers sit at both ends, speed spans 30-500 mm/s, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches - this unit has no magnet fitted. FA/FB flange and LB foot mounts bolt to the standard face.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED63X45B (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 ACPD63X45B Is Used
Reciprocating conveyor pusher
The equal 1458.1 N force in both directions suits a packaging-line pusher that must index cartons forward and retract with the same authority on a 45 mm stroke.
Gantry pick-and-place carriage
The through-rod gives a symmetric mount and resists rotation on a Z-axis carriage, while the rear rod carries a flag for CMSE switches when the -S magnet is ordered.
Press-fit ejection station
With about 875 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa, the 63 mm bore ejects finished bushings from a machining fixture at 30-500 mm/s cycle speeds.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD63X45B with the ACED63X45B
At 45 mm stroke this sits well inside the 250 mm maximum standard stroke for the 63 mm bore, so it is a catalog item, not a made-to-order build. If 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa is more than the job needs, the 50 mm bore delivers 881.2 N; if you need more, the 80 mm bore reaches 2356.2 N. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check for a held load. Match FA/FB flange or LB foot mounting to your fixture, order the -S code if CMSE / DMSE switches are planned, and confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping to the ACED63X45 replacement.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED63X45B
- ✓ 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 ACPD63X45B FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design means both directions use the rod-side area, so output is equal both ways: 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 range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the 45 mm stroke is standard (bore 63 allows up to 250 mm).
The ACPD family is no longer in production; the current direct is the ISO 21287 ACED63X45, which matches the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping since the ACP is DIN-standard. For position feedback, order the -S code to get the optional magnet, which allows CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches; without -S no magnet is fitted.
