This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED63X70S, 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 ACPD63X70S
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD63X70S 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 ACED63X70S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD63X70S
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD63X70S pushes and pulls with the same 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa (2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa) because each stroke works on the rod-side area. The 63 mm bore drives a 16 mm through-rod over a 70 mm stroke, and the S code means the optional magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clamped on for end-of-stroke sensing. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed runs 30-500 mm/s, and a fixed TPU bumper sits at each end.
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 fixtures, guarding and gantry axes. Note this model is discontinued: the current-production direct is ACED63X70, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED63X70S (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 ACPD63X70S Is Used
Reciprocating conveyor pushers
The equal 1458.1 N force in both directions makes the 70 mm stroke ideal for diverting cartons on packaging lines, pushing product off a belt and returning at identical power.
Symmetric fixture clamping
A rod on each cover lets a machining fixture clamp from both sides of a 63 mm-bore workholder, with the through-rod keeping the tool plate square under side load.
Flag-driven position feedback
With the fitted -S magnet and CMSE or DMSE switches, the rear rod can carry a flag past a second sensor, giving two-position confirmation on an automated assembly station.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD63X70S with the ACED63X70S
At 1458.1 N per direction, the 63 mm bore suits mid-force pick-and-place and clamping; step down to the 50 mm bore (881.2 N) for lighter tooling or up to the 80 mm bore (2356.2 N) for heavier presses. The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. Because a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, add a rod lock or pilot check for a held load. This unit is discontinued and is replaced by ACED63X70 in the same bore, stroke and force class.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED63X70S
- ✓ 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 ACPD63X70S FAQ
Both strokes give the same force because the rod-side area works in each direction: 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa, with a peak of 297.4 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the 1/8" port serves the 63 mm bore.
The hard-anodized aluminium body is a short ISO 21287-class design that saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with FA/FB flange or LB foot brackets and a fixed TPU bumper at both ends. The S code means the optional -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE and DMSE switches can be mounted. The model is discontinued; the current direct is ACED63X70, and you should confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
