This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED63X90S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED63X90S 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 ACPD63X90S
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD63X90S is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 90mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED63X90S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD63X90S
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD63X90S delivers 1458.1 N in each direction at 0.5 MPa because both strokes work on the rod-side area. The 63 mm bore, 90 mm stroke and 16 mm through-rod suit presses, lifters and symmetric fixtures that need identical force forward and back. Its hard-anodized aluminium body is an ISO 21287 short build, saving about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs and gantries. The -S code on this model means the magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clamped straight onto the body for end-of-stroke sensing.
The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag or a second tooling plate. A fixed TPU bumper sits at both ends, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi). For planning, treat about 875 N (roughly 89 kg of push) as the usable working force at 0.5 MPa, and expect about 74 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. Note that this model is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is ACED63X90, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED63X90S (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 ACPD63X90S Is Used
Symmetric press fixture
The equal 1458.1 N output both ways lets one 63 mm cylinder stake or swage a bracket on the forward stroke and eject the finished part on the return, with the 90 mm stroke clearing the die.
Vertical lift-and-lower station
With about 74 kg of vertical lift at a 2:1 margin, the through-rod can carry a gripper plate on the front rod and a position flag on the rear rod for a pallet transfer module.
Sensed end-of-stroke clamping
The fitted -S magnet drives CMSE / DMSE switches at both ends of a 90 mm clamp stroke on a machining-center fixture, confirming part clamping before the cycle starts.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD63X90S with the ACED63X90S
At 1458.1 N per side at 0.5 MPa, the 63 mm bore sits between the 50 mm (881.2 N) and 80 mm (2356.2 N) double-rod units, so step down for lighter clamps or up for heavier forming work. The 90 mm stroke is well inside the 250 mm standard limit for this bore, so no made-to-order build is needed. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must stay put. FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot and FTC brackets bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the fitted -S magnet accepts CMSE / DMSE switches. Order ACED63X90 as the current replacement and verify mounting dimensions first.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED63X90S
- ✓ 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 ACPD63X90S FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, output is equal both ways: 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa, on the rod-side area. Maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 297.4 kgf. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof is 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed is 30-500 mm/s, and the port is 1/8" with a female M10x1.5 rod thread.
AirTAC no longer produces the ACPD family. The current-production drop-in is ACED63X90, the ISO 21287 double-rod successor in the same 63 mm bore, 90 mm stroke and force class. The ACP is DIN-standard, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions and port positions before swapping. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches work on it today.
