This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED16X100SB, 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 ACPD16X100SB
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X100SB 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 ACED16X100SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X100SB
A double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to the DIN-standard ACP format, the ACPD16X100SB pushes a 16 mm bore through a 100 mm stroke with a rod leaving both covers. Because each side sees the rod-side area, output is 75.4 N in either direction at 0.5 MPa and 105.6 N at 0.7 MPa - there is no stronger push than pull on this model. The male-threaded through-rod (B code) resists rotation and side load, and its back end can carry a sensor flag or a second tooling plate. This exact unit is discontinued; the current-production direct is the ISO 21287 ACED16X100.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into slim pick-and-place gantries and guarding where a full-length body will not fit. The 100 mm stroke exceeds the 75 mm standard maximum for bore 16, so it is a made-to-order build - plan lead time accordingly. Fixed TPU bumpers sit at both ends, and the fitted -S magnet accepts CMSE / DMSE switches.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED16X100SB (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 ACPD16X100SB Is Used
Bidirectional small-part transfer
The through-rod drives a slider both ways with equal 75.4 N force at 0.5 MPa, ideal for shuttling vial trays or connector blanks between two stations on an assembly bench.
Position-monitored test fixture
With the fitted -S magnet, CMSE or DMSE switches report end-of-stroke on a 100 mm electronics soak-test slide, confirming each PCB carrier has fully retracted before the next cycle.
Compact rotary-index escapement
The back-end rod fires a part-release finger on a rotary indexing table while the front rod advances the workpiece, all inside a guard where a full-length body cannot fit.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X100SB with the ACED16X100SB
At 75.4 N per side at 0.5 MPa, bore 16 suits light clamping and small-part transfer; step down to bore 12 (42.4 N) for gentler handling or up to bore 20 (117.8 N) if your load grows. The 100 mm stroke is non-standard for this bore (75 mm max standard), so it is quoted as a made-to-order item. The male rod thread suits I/Y knuckles, and FA/FB flange or LB foot mounts bolt to the face. Note that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check for a held load. For new designs, order the ACED16X100 instead and confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED16X100SB
- ✓ 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 ACPD16X100SB FAQ
It is a double-rod cylinder, so force is identical both ways: 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 105.6 N at 0.7 MPa per side (rod-side area). Maximum output at 1.0 MPa is 15.4 kgf. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C, air filtered to 40 um.
Bore 16 has a 75 mm maximum standard stroke, so the 100 mm stroke here is a made-to-order build - expect non-standard lead time. The B code gives a male rod end (8 mm rod) instead of the standard female thread, and the port is M5x0.8. The ACPD family is discontinued; the current direct is the ACED16X100 in the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
