This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACED63X90SB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACED63X90SB 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 ACPD63X90SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD63X90SB 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 ACED63X90SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD63X90SB
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod exiting both covers, the ACPD63X90SB delivers 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa in each direction because both strokes work on the rod-side area - there is no push/pull imbalance to design around. The 63 mm bore carries a 16 mm through-rod with a male thread (B code) on each end, and the S code means the optional -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clamped straight onto the hard-anodized aluminium body.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it suits tight gantries and guarding where a full-length body cannot fit. At 0.5 MPa the 1458.1 N rating works out to about 148 kgf, so plan on roughly 89 kg of usable vertical lift once a 2:1 margin is applied. Note this model is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is ACED63X90, same bore, stroke and force class - confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED63X90SB (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 ACPD63X90SB Is Used
Reciprocating conveyor pushers
The rear rod balances the front rod, so a 90 mm stroke pusher on a bottling line sees 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa whichever way it moves - useful for reject lanes that push and return under the same load.
Clamping on machining fixtures
With about 89 kg of practical vertical lift at a 2:1 margin, the 63 mm bore holds milling or drilling jigs in place, and the male rod thread takes standard I/Y knuckles directly.
Position-flagged gantry stations
The S-code magnet lets CMSE / DMSE switches report end positions on both rods, ideal for automated assembly gantries where the back rod carries the flag and the front rod drives the tool.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD63X90SB with the ACED63X90SB
For 90 mm of travel in the 1400-2000 N band, this 63 mm bore sits between the 50 mm size (881.2 N at 0.5 MPa) and the 80 mm size (2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa) - step down if your load is light, step up if you need margin. The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag while the front rod does the work. FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot and FTC brackets bolt to the standard face. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, ports 1/8". Remember a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check for a held load. Order ACED63X90 as the current replacement.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED63X90SB
- ✓ 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 ACPD63X90SB FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, force is equal both ways: 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa and 2041.3 N at 0.7 MPa on every stroke, using the rod-side area. At 1.0 MPa the peak is 297.4 kgf. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s.
No - the ACPD family is discontinued. The current-production successor is ACED63X90 (swap the P for an E), an ISO 21287 compact cylinder in the same bore, stroke and force class with a matching short body and mounting family. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before ordering, since the ACP was built to the DIN standard.
