This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED63X70B — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED63X70B in place of this model. 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 ACPD63X70B
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD63X70B 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 ACED63X70B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD63X70B
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD63X70B 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 drives a 16 mm through-rod over a 70 mm stroke at 30-500 mm/s, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end. Its hard-anodized aluminium body keeps the mounting length roughly 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight fixtures.
The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag on a moving table. As a rule of thumb, plan on about 875 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts roughly 44 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note that this model is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is the ISO 21287 ACED63X70, so confirm mounting dimensions before swapping. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), fluid filtered to 40 um, temperature -20 to +70 C.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED63X70B (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 ACPD63X70B Is Used
Symmetric press fixture
The equal 1458.1 N output in both directions lets one cylinder form and eject on a 70 mm stroke in a machining cell, with the through-rod keeping the tool plate square.
Two-sided packaging pusher
A rod on each cover lets a carton pusher on a bottling line index product forward while the rear rod drives a return flag, all within the short ISO 21287 body length.
Reciprocating slide drive
Driving a slide back and forth at up to 500 mm/s, the identical rod-side force both ways gives the same cycle speed loaded or unloaded, with TPU bumpers absorbing end-of-travel shock.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD63X70B with the ACED63X70B
At 1458.1 N per side at 0.5 MPa, the 63 mm bore suits clamping and pressing in the 200-2000 N band; step down to the 50 mm bore (881.2 N) for lighter jigs or up to the 80 mm bore (2356.2 N) for heavier presses. The 70 mm stroke sits well inside the 250 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore. The B code gives a male M10x1.5 rod thread on both ends and 1/8" PT ports. Like any plain double-rod cylinder it will drift when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check for held loads. If you need position sensing, order the -S variant with the optional magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches; this non-S code has no magnet at all. For new builds, specify the ACED63X70 instead.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED63X70B
- ✓ 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 ACPD63X70B FAQ
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, output is equal both ways: 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa per stroke, with a maximum of 297.4 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Both strokes use the rod-side area, so push and pull are identical. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
This model is no longer in production. The current drop-in is the ACED63X70, the ISO 21287 successor with the same 63 mm bore, 70 mm stroke and force class. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before swapping, since the ACP was built to a DIN-standard footprint. Mounting brackets such as FA/FB flanges, LB feet and CA/CB clevises bolt to the ISO 21287 face.
