This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED16X10B, 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 ACPD16X10B
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X10B 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 ACED16X10B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X10B
This double acting compact cylinder pushes a 8 mm rod out of BOTH covers, so the 16 mm bore delivers the same 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa (105.6 N at 0.7 MPa) on every stroke - the rod-side area works in both directions. The male rod thread (B code) on each end bolts straight to tooling, and the through-rod resists rotation and side load while the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. A fixed TPU bumper sits at each end and the piston runs 30-500 mm/s on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into tight pick-and-place heads and small fixture plates. Note this unit is DISCONTINUED: the current-production direct is ACED16X10 (swap the P for an E), so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. The optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches; this code has no magnet fitted.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED16X10B (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 ACPD16X10B Is Used
Small-part ejection from a plastic mold
The symmetric 75.4 N output in both directions ejects finished caps or bushings from shallow mold pockets, and the 10 mm stroke keeps the cylinder inside a compact tool base.
Reject pusher on a bottling line
A rear-mounted rod kicks misaligned 200 ml bottles off a narrow conveyor; the through-rod resists side load from off-center contact at 30-500 mm/s speeds.
Lift check fixture with a rear sensor flag
The back-end rod carries a flag past a CMSE or DMSE switch (when the optional -S magnet is ordered) to confirm a 10 mm gauge lift on machined aluminum housings.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X10B with the ACED16X10B
At 75.4 N per side at 0.5 MPa, the 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 the 20 mm bore (117.8 N) when you need more push in the same short body. The 10 mm stroke is well inside the 75 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore. Remember a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must be held. FA/FB flange and LB foot mountings bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the optional -S magnet adds CMSE / DMSE switch capability. For new builds, order ACED16X10 instead - this ACPD model is discontinued.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED16X10B
- ✓ 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 ACPD16X10B FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design exposes the rod-side area on both strokes, so force is equal both ways: 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 105.6 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum of 15.4 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, speed 30-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C.
Order the ACED16X10, the current-production ISO 21287 successor (swap the P for an E). It matches the same 16 mm bore, 10 mm stroke and force class, but because the ACP is DIN-standard you should confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. The optional -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches carries over as an option on the new series.
