This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED63X75S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED63X75S 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.

The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD63X75S is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 75mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED63X75S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod through BOTH covers, the ACPD63X75S delivers 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa in each direction, because both strokes work on the rod-side area of the 63 mm piston. The 16 mm through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. This -S version carries the optional magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount directly on the body. The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it fits tight jigs, guards and gantries.
Practically, plan on roughly 875 N (about 89 kg) of real work at 0.5 MPa instead of the full 1458.1 N rating, and expect it to lift about 74 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. A fixed TPU bumper sits at each end, the hard-anodized aluminium body carries 1/8" ports, and the rod end is female M10x1.5. Note that this model is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is ACED63X75 in the same bore, stroke and force class, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED63X75S (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.
| 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).
| ACPD | DIN compact cylinder (double-rod, discontinued). |
|---|---|
| 63 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×75 | Stroke length in mm. |
| S | Optional built-in magnet for sensor position sensing (omit for no magnet). |
| B | Rod type: B = male thread; blank = female thread. |
Replacement mapping (swap P for E): ACP→ACE, ASP→ASE, ATP→ATE, ACPD→ACED, ACPJ→ACEJ. ACP-family: ACP (double acting), ASP / ATP (single acting push / pull), ACPD (double rod), ACPJ (adjustable stroke).
The equal 1458.1 N force in both directions lets one cylinder clamp and release a machined housing in a jig with identical grip either way, and the through-rod keeps the tool plate from rotating.
With a rod on each cover, the rear rod carries a flag past a CMSE switch (this -S model has the magnet), giving position feedback for a 75 mm reject push at 30-500 mm/s.
A double-rod build lifts about 74 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin at 0.5 MPa, suiting the 75 mm stroke for raising carton chutes or guide rails on a filling line.
At 1458.1 N per side at 0.5 MPa, the 63 mm bore sits mid-range: step down to the 50 mm bore (881.2 N) for lighter clamping, or up to the 80 mm bore (2356.2 N) when the load needs more push. The 75 mm stroke is well inside the 250 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it ships as a standard build. FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot and FTC brackets bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the -S magnet on this unit accepts CMSE / DMSE switches for end-position sensing. A plain double-rod cylinder does not hold position when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check for a held load. Order ACED63X75 as the current replacement and verify the mounting dimensions.
Replacement checklist
Yes - it is a double-rod cylinder, so a rod exits both covers and both strokes use the rod-side area. Output is 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa, equal in each direction, with a maximum 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 75 mm stroke is within the 250 mm standard maximum for the 63 mm bore.
Order ACED63X75: swap the P for an E and you get the current-production ISO 21287 compact cylinder in the same bore, stroke and force class. The ACPD is a DIN-standard compact body, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions (and your FA/FB or LB bracket) before the swap. This -S unit carries the optional magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches; on a replacement, the magnet is ordered via the -S code, not fitted as standard.
