This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED16X100, 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 ACPD16X100
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X100 is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 100mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED16X100 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X100
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD16X100 pushes and pulls with identical output: 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 105.6 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction, because both strokes work on the rod-side area of the 16 mm bore. The through-rod resists rotation and light side load, gives a symmetric mounting point at each end, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. A fixed TPU bumper sits in both covers, and travel speed runs from 30 to 500 mm/s.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why this bore suits slim pick-and-place heads and guarded test rigs. Note that the 100 mm stroke exceeds the 75 mm standard maximum for bore 16, so this is a made-to-order stroke. This model is discontinued: the current-production direct is ACED16X100, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED16X100 (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 ACPD16X100 Is Used
Small-parts ejection from a molding fixture
The 75.4 N both-ways output at 0.5 MPa is enough to strip lightweight plastic caps off a core pin, and the rear rod can trip a proximity flag to confirm return before the mold closes.
Compact lab press for connector crimp checks
With about 4.6 kg of usable push at 0.5 MPa, the 16 mm bore suits low-force crimp verification on PCB connectors, and the 100 mm made-to-order stroke clears tall fixtures inside a tight bench frame.
Reciprocating guide on a conveyor divert gate
Equal force in push and pull lets the through-rod swing a lightweight divert paddle at the same speed both ways up to 500 mm/s, with the TPU bumpers absorbing the stops at each end.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X100 with the ACED16X100
For this force band, bore 12 delivers 42.4 N at 0.5 MPa while bore 20 reaches 117.8 N, so step up if your jig needs more than the 75.4 N this 16 mm bore gives both ways. The through-rod does not hold position when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check for a held load. FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot and FTC brackets bolt to the standard face, and rod knuckles I/Y fit the M4x0.7 female thread. The 100 mm stroke is non-standard for this bore and made to order. Since ACPD16X100 is discontinued, order ACED16X100 as the current replacement and verify the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED16X100
- ✓ 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 ACPD16X100 FAQ
No - the double-rod design means push and pull are identical because both strokes use the rod-side area. At 0.5 MPa you get 75.4 N in each direction, at 0.7 MPa 105.6 N each way, and the maximum at 1.0 MPa is 15.4 kgf. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s.
Only if you order the optional -S magnet code: ACPD16X100S carries the magnet that lets CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches read position, while the plain code has no magnet at all. The ACPD family is no longer in production - the current direct is ACED16X100 (swap the P for an E), which matches the same bore, stroke and force class, but confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping because the ACP is DIN-standard.
