This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED63X50S, 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 ACPD63X50S
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD63X50S 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 ACED63X50S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD63X50S
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD63X50S pushes and pulls with identical force because each stroke works 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 runs on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) filtered air at 30-500 mm/s, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end. Its hard-anodized aluminium short body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs and gantries.
The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag while the front drives the tool. This unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clamped on for end-of-stroke detection. Note the model is discontinued: the current-production direct is the ISO 21287 ACED63X50, same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. As a rule of thumb, plan on about 875 N (roughly 89 kg) of usable vertical work at 0.5 MPa rather than the full 1458.1 N rating.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED63X50S (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 ACPD63X50S Is Used
Reciprocating transfer arm
The through-rod drives a pick head on the front while the rear rod carries a switch flag, giving 1458.1 N both ways for a 50 mm shuttle between two pallet nests on an assembly line.
Symmetric press fixture
Equal force in extend and retract suits a crimping or marking head that must clamp with the same 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa on both strokes inside a short jig.
Palletizer pusher gate
Mounted as an LB-foot unit, the 63 mm bore diverts cartons on a conveyor with 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa, and the -S magnet feeds CMSE switches to the PLC for stroke confirmation.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD63X50S with the ACED63X50S
Size both ways: if 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa is more than the job needs, the ACPD50X50S delivers 881.2 N in the same double-rod format; if you need more, the ACPD80X50S reaches 2356.2 N. Keep in mind that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check for a held load. FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot and FTC brackets plus I/Y rod knuckles bolt straight to the mounting face, and the -S magnet on this model pairs with CMSE / DMSE switches. For new builds, order the ACED63X50 instead - this ACPD is discontinued.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED63X50S
- ✓ 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 ACPD63X50S FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design means both strokes use the rod-side area, so force is equal either way: 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 50 mm stroke sits well inside the 250 mm maximum standard stroke for the 63 mm bore.
The ACPD63X50S is no longer in production; the current direct is the ISO 21287 ACED63X50, 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 sensing, this unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be mounted directly on the body.
