This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED16X100B, 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 ACPD16X100B
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X100B 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 ACED16X100B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X100B
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the AirTAC ACPD16X100B pushes and pulls with identical force because each stroke works on the rod-side area: 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 105.6 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction. The 16 mm bore drives an 8 mm through-rod that resists rotation and side load, and the rear rod stub can carry a sensor flag on a synchronized station. Its 100 mm stroke is longer than the 75 mm standard for this bore, so it is a made-to-order build.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod keeps the mounting length roughly 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which suits narrow pick-and-place gantries. Note this model is discontinued: the current-production direct is ACED16X100, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before ordering.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED16X100B (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).

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 (double rod, adjustable stroke).
Where the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X100B Is Used
Bidirectional vial pusher
The equal 75.4 N output both ways lets one through-rod eject empty vials on the forward stroke and retract a stop gate on the return, with no direction-dependent tuning on a pharma packaging line.
Mirror-flag position station
A rear rod stub on the 8 mm through-rod carries a trip flag for two proximity sensors, giving end-of-stroke confirmation on a 100 mm transfer slide in an electronics assembly cell.
Light press-fit anvil
About 45 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa is enough to seat small nylon bushings into connector housings on a bench-top fixture, with the TPU bumper softening each end of travel.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X100B with the ACED16X100B
At 75.4 N per side, this bore sits between the 12 mm unit (42.4 N) and the 20 mm unit (117.8 N) at 0.5 MPa. If your fixture needs a held position when air is lost, add a rod lock or pilot check valve, because the piston will drift on its own. The B code gives a male M4x0.7 rod thread and the port is M5x0.8 PT; no magnet is fitted, so order the -S variant if you later want CMSE or DMSE switches. For new projects, specify ACED16X100 instead.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED16X100B
- ✓ 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 ACPD16X100B FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, force is equal in both directions: 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 105.6 N at 0.7 MPa, with a peak 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 100 mm stroke is a made-to-order length above the 75 mm standard for this bore.
Only if the optional -S magnet is ordered; this non-S version has no magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches cannot be fitted. The ACPD family is discontinued, and ACED16X100 is the current-production successor in the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP follows a DIN-standard footprint.
