This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED63X50B — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED63X50B 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 ACPD63X50B
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD63X50B is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 50mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED63X50B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD63X50B
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod through both covers, the ACPD63X50B delivers 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa in each direction, because both strokes work on the rod-side area of the 63 mm bore. The 16 mm through-rod resists rotation and side load, gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. This model is discontinued; the current-production drop-in is the ACED63X50, which matches the same bore, stroke and force class.
The short ISO 21287-class body cuts mounting length by roughly half compared with an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight gantries and guarding where a full-length body will not go. FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis, SDB pivot and FTC brackets bolt to the standard face. The fixed TPU bumper at each end decelerates the piston, and the male rod thread (B code) suits knuckle fittings. Plan on about 875 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, which lifts roughly 74 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. No magnet is fitted; order the -S code if you need CMSE or DMSE switches.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED63X50B (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 ACPD63X50B Is Used
Reciprocating conveyor pushers
The through-rod drives a pusher bar from one side while the rear rod carries a position flag, moving cartons of about 70 kg at 0.5 MPa on a packaging line.
Symmetric clamp fixtures
Equal 1458.1 N force in both directions lets one cylinder clamp and release a machining fixture without recalculating pull force, at 30-500 mm/s.
Two-sided lift gantries
The double rod supports a crosshead from both covers with balanced mounting, lifting roughly 74 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin in assembly stations.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD63X50B with the ACED63X50B
Size between bores: at 0.5 MPa a 50 mm double-rod bore gives 881.2 N and this 63 mm bore gives 1458.1 N, while stepping up to 80 mm reaches 2356.2 N - pick 63 mm when your load sits between those bands. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost; add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must be held. The 50 mm stroke is within the 250 mm standard range for this bore, and the male rod thread (B) pairs with I/Y knuckles. For new projects, order the ACED63X50 instead and confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED63X50B
- ✓ 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 ACPD63X50B FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, force is equal in both directions: 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa on the rod-side area of the 63 mm bore. At 1.0 MPa the maximum is 297.4 kgf. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s.
The hard-anodized aluminium body is a short ISO 21287-class design that saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis, SDB pivot and FTC brackets available. A fixed TPU bumper sits at each end. This model is discontinued; the ACED63X50 is the current drop-in - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP is DIN-standard.
