This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED16X100S, 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 ACPD16X100S
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X100S 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 ACED16X100S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X100S
Double acting with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD16X100S 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 piston. The through-rod resists rotation and light side load, gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. A fixed TPU bumper sits at each end, and speed spans 30-500 mm/s at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with air filtered to 40 um.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into slim fixtures and guarding. The 100 mm stroke exceeds the 75 mm standard maximum for this bore, so it is made to order. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE switches can be fitted. Note: the ACPD family is discontinued; the current-production replacement is the ACED16X100.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED16X100S (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 ACPD16X100S Is Used
Bidirectional part transfer
The through-rod pushes a small plastic housing into a nest on the forward stroke and retracts the nest back on the return, with equal 75.4 N force both ways at 0.5 MPa.
Position-verified gate on a packaging line
The fitted -S magnet lets a DMSE switch confirm gate open and closed at each end of the 100 mm travel, keeping the interlock logic honest on a carton infeed.
Compact jig ejector
The short body fits inside a slim drilling fixture where a full-length profile cylinder will not, ejecting finished bushings at up to 500 mm/s.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X100S with the ACED16X100S
At 75.4 N both ways at 0.5 MPa, this 16 mm bore suits light clamping and transfer; step down to the 12 mm bore (42.4 N) for smaller loads or up to the 20 mm bore (117.8 N) when more force is needed. The 100 mm stroke is non-standard for bore 16 (75 mm max standard), so expect a made-to-order build. A plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - for a held load add a rod lock or pilot check. The -S magnet on this unit accepts CMSE / DMSE switches. Before ordering, confirm the ACED16X100 ISO 21287 mounting dimensions as your direct successor.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED16X100S
- ✓ 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 ACPD16X100S FAQ
Output is equal both ways because the rod-side area works on each stroke: 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa, 105.6 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum of 15.4 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure. The 100 mm stroke is a made-to-order length above the 75 mm standard maximum for bore 16.
The ACPD family is out of production; order the ACED16X100, which swaps the P for an E and matches the same bore, stroke and force class in the current ISO 21287 range. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before the swap since the ACP is DIN-standard. This unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount directly; the ACED16X100S keeps the same sensor option.
