This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED16X10, 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 ACPD16X10
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X10 is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 10mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED16X10 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X10
The ACPD16X10 is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder in the discontinued AirTAC ACP DIN-standard series. A rod exits both covers, so the through-rod delivers an equal 75.4 N in each direction at 0.5 MPa (105.6 N at 0.7 MPa), because both strokes work on the rod-side area. The 16 mm bore takes an 8 mm rod and an M5x0.8 port, and the female rod end is threaded M4x0.7.
Its short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which suits tight slide tables and small fixtures. Note this model is discontinued: the current-production direct is the ACED16X10, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED16X10 (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 (Ø16mm)
| Pressure | Force (both ways) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 75 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 106 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 15 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 ACPD16X10 Is Used
Small-parts ejection
The symmetric 75.4 N output ejects finished bushings or pins from a 10 mm-deep nest on a rotary indexing table, with the rear rod driving a confirm-switch flag.
Lab sample positioning
A short 10 mm stroke and M5x0.8 ports let the 16 mm double-rod body index sample vials between two stations inside a compact analytical instrument chassis.
Carton flap tuck
Equal force both ways tucks and retracts a flap guide on a small carton sealer, where the 4.5 kg-class vertical capacity covers the light guide arm.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X10 with the ACED16X10
At 75.4 N per side at 0.5 MPa, this 16 mm bore suits light clamping and small part transfer; step down to the 12 mm bore (42.4 N) for lighter loads or up to 20 mm (117.8 N) when you need more push without growing the envelope. The 10 mm stroke sits well inside the 75 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore. The through-rod resists rotation and side load, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag; add the optional -S magnet if you want CMSE or DMSE switches, since no magnet is fitted without it. A plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, so use a rod lock or pilot check to hold a load. Order the ACED16X10 as the current replacement.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED16X10
- ✓ 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 ACPD16X10 FAQ
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, output is identical both ways: 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 105.6 N at 0.7 MPa on the rod-side area, with a maximum of 15.4 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the fixed TPU bumpers at both ends only soften the end positions.
Only with the optional -S magnet code, which enables CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches; this ACPD16X10 code has no magnet fitted. The ACPD series is discontinued, and the current-production replacement is the ACED16X10 in the same 16 mm bore, 10 mm stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP is DIN-standard.
