This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED63X70, 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 ACPD63X70
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD63X70 is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 70mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED63X70 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD63X70
Double acting and double rod, the ACPD63X70 pushes a 63 mm piston through a 70 mm stroke with a rod leaving both covers, so the force is identical on the extend and retract strokes: 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction. The through-rod resists rotation and side load, gives a symmetric mounting face, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag, while fixed TPU bumpers at both ends absorb end-of-travel shock at speeds of 30-500 mm/s.
The short ISO 21287-class body cuts roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into tight jigs, guards and gantries. In practice, plan on about 875 N of real work at 0.5 MPa (roughly 89 kg of vertical lift with a working margin) rather than the full rating. Note that this model is discontinued: the current-production direct is the ACED63X70, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED63X70 (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 ACPD63X70 Is Used
Reciprocating transfer gantry
The through-rod drives a pick head from either cover with equal 1458.1 N force, and the rear rod carries a flag for a switch when the -S magnet is ordered.
Symmetric press fixture
Equal force both ways suits a 70 mm-stroke forming or marking station on aluminium extrusions, where retract force must match clamp force.
Compact machine slide drive
The short body, about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, fits the confined envelope of a packaging machine cross-slide.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD63X70 with the ACED63X70
At 1458.1 N per direction at 0.5 MPa, the 63 mm bore sits between the 50 mm bore (881.2 N) and the 80 mm bore (2356.2 N), so step down if your fixture is marginal and up if the load approaches 900 N. Keep in mind that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve for a held load. FA/FB flange and LB foot mountings bolt to the standard face, and if you need position feedback order the -S code, since without it no magnet is fitted and no CMSE or DMSE switch can be read. For new builds, specify the ACED63X70 instead.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED63X70
- ✓ 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 ACPD63X70 FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, output is equal in both directions: 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) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, and the 16 mm rod ends in a female M10x1.5 thread.
The ACPD63X70 is discontinued. The current-production successor is the ACED63X70 (swap the P for an E), which matches the same 63 mm bore, 70 mm stroke and force class in the ISO 21287 family. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before swapping, and remember the magnet is only present when the -S code is ordered.
