This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED63X70SB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED63X70SB 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 ACPD63X70SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD63X70SB 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 ACED63X70SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD63X70SB
This is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder in the discontinued AirTAC ACPD series: a 63 mm bore with a 16 mm rod exiting BOTH covers, so the piston pushes and pulls with identical force - 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa in each direction, peaking at 297.4 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The male rod thread (B code) and the optional -S magnet this model carries let CMSE or DMSE switches report position directly on the machine.
The hard-anodized aluminium body is an ISO 21287-class short build that saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into tight welding fixtures and press gantries. Because both strokes use the rod-side area, the through-rod also resists rotation and side load, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. A fixed TPU bumper sits at each end, speed runs 30-500 mm/s over 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), and the back rod gives a symmetric mount. Note the piston drifts if air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check for held loads. This model is discontinued - the current-production drop-in is ACED63X70, same bore, stroke and force class.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED63X70SB (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 ACPD63X70SB Is Used
Welding fixture clamping
The equal 1458.1 N force in both directions clamps and releases car-body brackets with identical grip, and the through-rod holds alignment under torch-side side loads.
Small press and marking station
With 2041.3 N available at 0.7 MPa, the 70 mm stroke stamps date codes or presses bushings into aluminium housings on an electronics assembly line.
Reciprocating transfer slide
A rod on each cover lets the rear rod carry a sensor flag while the front drives a 40 kg pallet shuttle back and forth at 30-500 mm/s.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD63X70SB with the ACED63X70SB
At 70 mm stroke and 1458.1 N per direction, this bore covers clamping and pressing jobs around 145 kgf at 0.5 MPa; plan on roughly 875 N (about 89 kg) of real vertical work and halve that to about 44 kg for a 2:1 lift margin. If your load is lighter, the 50 mm double-rod version delivers 881.2 N both ways; if you need more, step up to 80 mm for 2356.2 N. The 70 mm stroke sits well inside the 250 mm standard limit for bore 63, so no made-to-order build is needed. This unit already includes the -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches and a male rod thread. Since ACPD is discontinued, order ACED63X70 and confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED63X70SB
- ✓ 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 ACPD63X70SB FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, force is equal in push and pull: 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa in each direction, with a maximum of 297.4 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Both strokes use the rod-side area of the 63 mm bore, so never expect a larger push than pull. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure.
Order ACED63X70, the current-production ISO 21287 ACE double-rod successor: swap the P for an E and you keep the same 63 mm bore, 70 mm stroke and force class. The ACE matches the short-body format, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before swapping, since the ACP was built to a DIN-standard footprint. FA/FB flange, LB foot and clevis brackets bolt to the same face family.
