This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED63X50SB, 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 ACPD63X50SB
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD63X50SB 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 ACED63X50SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD63X50SB
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD63X50SB pushes and pulls with identical output: 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 16 mm through-rod resists rotation and side load, carries a symmetric mount, and lets the rear rod drive a sensor flag. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clipped on for end-of-stroke signals.
The hard-anodized aluminium body follows the ISO 21287 short format, saving roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into tight gantries and guarding. Fixed TPU bumpers sit at both ends, speed runs 30-500 mm/s, and pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi). Note that ACPD is discontinued: the current-production direct is ACED63X50, same bore, stroke and force class, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED63X50SB (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 ACPD63X50SB Is Used
Press-fit ejection on assembly fixtures
The symmetric 1458.1 N output ejects machined aluminium housings from a press die in either stroke direction, with the 50 mm stroke matching shallow die pockets.
Bidirectional pusher on packaging lines
A rod at each cover lets one cylinder divert cartons left or right on a conveyor, delivering 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa from whichever side the product approaches.
Position-flagged lift column in a test rig
The rear rod carries a switch flag while the front rod lifts a 74 kg fixture vertically, and the fitted -S magnet feeds CMSE or DMSE switches for stroke confirmation.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD63X50SB with the ACED63X50SB
At 63 mm bore this is the mid-heavy tier of the range: step down to ACPD50 for 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa, or up to ACPD80 for 2356.2 N. If the job needs position holding when air is lost, add a rod lock or pilot check - a plain double-rod cylinder will drift. The male rod thread on this B-code unit suits rod knuckles and couplers, and FA/FB flange or LB foot mounts bolt to the ISO 21287 face. Order ACED63X50 as the current replacement and verify mounting dimensions against the datasheet.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED63X50SB
- ✓ 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 ACPD63X50SB FAQ
Output is equal both ways because the double rod exposes the rod-side area on every stroke: 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa, 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa, and up to 297.4 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits cramped jigs and gantries. ACPD is no longer in production; order ACED63X50, the current direct in the same bore, stroke and force class, and confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before the swap.
