This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED63X5SB, 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 ACPD63X5SB
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD63X5SB is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 5mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED63X5SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD63X5SB
Double acting with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD63X5SB is a discontinued DIN-standard compact cylinder: 63 mm bore, 5 mm stroke and a 16 mm through-rod with a male thread. Because both strokes work on the rod-side area, it delivers 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction - no push-versus-pull difference to design around. The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into shallow fixtures where a full-length body cannot. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and a fixed TPU bumper sits at each end.
The through-rod resists rotation and side load, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches mount directly on the hard-anodized aluminium body. Since ACPD is out of production, order the ACED63X5 - the current ISO 21287 direct in the same bore, stroke and force class - and confirm the mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED63X5SB (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 ACPD63X5SB Is Used
Short-stamp marking on aluminium extrusions
A 5 mm stroke is ideal for a date-code stamp or dot-peen head: the 63 mm bore presses with about 1458 N at 0.5 MPa, and the through-rod keeps the tooling square under slight side load.
Two-sided clamping in a CNC jig
With a rod on each cover, one cylinder can carry a clamp pad front and rear, gripping a machined housing with equal 1458.1 N force in both directions inside a tight fixture.
Gated ejection on an assembly conveyor
The rear rod drives a flag past CMSE or DMSE switches (enabled by the -S magnet), confirming each 5 mm eject pulse that nudges finished cartons off the line.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD63X5SB with the ACED63X5SB
Pick the 63 mm bore when your clamp or press needs about 1458 N at 0.5 MPa (2041 N at 0.7 MPa) applied over just 5 mm of travel. A 50 mm bore gives 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa if the load is lighter, while an 80 mm bore raises the figure to 2356.2 N for heavier work. Remember that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check if the position must hold. The male rod thread (B code) suits I/Y rod knuckles, and the -S magnet on this unit works with CMSE / DMSE switches for end-of-stroke signalling. For new projects, specify the ACED63X5 instead and verify the ISO 21287 footprint.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED63X5SB
- ✓ 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 ACPD63X5SB FAQ
It is a double-rod cylinder, so force is identical both ways: 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa, equal to a maximum of 297.4 kgf at 1.0 MPa on either stroke. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s. Note it will not hold position if air is lost - use a rod lock or pilot check for a held load.
Order the ACED63X5, the current-production ISO 21287 successor made by swapping the P for an E. It matches the same 63 mm bore, 5 mm stroke and force class, and accepts FA/FB flange, LB foot and clevis hardware on the standard face. Because the ACPD was built to a DIN-standard compact format, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your drawing before the swap.
