This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED63X60, 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 ACPD63X60
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD63X60 is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 60mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED63X60 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD63X60
A double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to the DIN-standard ACP pattern, the ACPD63X60 drives a 16 mm rod out of both covers, so its 63 mm bore delivers 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction - both strokes work on the rod-side area. The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into tight jigs and gantries. This model is discontinued; the current-production direct is the ACED63X60.
The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag, while fixed TPU bumpers pad both ends of travel. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s over 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi). No magnet is fitted on this code - order the -S variant if you need CMSE / DMSE switch sensing.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED63X60 (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 ACPD63X60 Is Used
Symmetric fixture clamping
The 60 mm stroke and 1458.1 N of equal force on both sides let a machining fixture clamp and release with the same push, with the through-rod keeping the tool plate square under side load.
Reciprocating transfer slide
A rod at each cover balances a pick-and-place slide on a packaging line, driving 30-500 mm/s shuttles between two home positions with matched force in each direction.
Press-fit ejection station
With about 875 N of usable thrust at 0.5 MPa, the cylinder ejects bushings from an assembly die, and the rear rod carries a flag for a switch when the -S magnet is ordered.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD63X60 with the ACED63X60
At 1458.1 N per side at 0.5 MPa, this 63 mm unit suits clamping and pressing jobs in the 800-900 N working band; step down to the 50 mm bore (881.2 N) for lighter fixtures or up to the 80 mm bore (2356.2 N) where more force is needed. Remember it drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put. Mount it on FA/FB flanges, LB feet or CA/CB clevis brackets, and note the -S magnet option if position switches are planned. Since ACPD is discontinued, spec the ACED63X60 as the replacement and confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED63X60
- ✓ 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 ACPD63X60 FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, output is identical either way: 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa, both calculated on the rod-side area. At 1.0 MPa the peak is 297.4 kgf. There is no larger push than pull on this double-rod design.
This model is no longer in production; the current direct is the ACED63X60 (swap the P for an E), which matches the same 63 mm bore, 60 mm stroke and force class in the ISO 21287 family. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before ordering, since the ACP was built to a DIN-standard pattern.
