This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED16X10S, 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 ACPD16X10S
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X10S 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 ACED16X10S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X10S
Double acting with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD16X10S 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, 10 mm stroke and M5x0.8 port suit small clamping and positioning heads, and the through-rod resists rotation while the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. The S code means the optional -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches mount directly on the body.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into tight fixtures and guarding. A fixed TPU bumper sits at both ends and the hard-anodized aluminium body carries an S45C hard-chrome rod. Note this model is discontinued: the current-production direct is ACED16X10, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. As a rule of thumb, plan on about 45 N (roughly 4.5 kg vertical) of usable work at 0.5 MPa rather than the full 75.4 N rating.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED16X10S (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 ACPD16X10S Is Used
Micro part clamping
Holds small electronics or watch components in a machining jig where the 10 mm stroke and 75.4 N bidirectional force are enough and space is minimal.
Position-flag ejection
The rear rod carries a sensor flag for CMSE / DMSE switches while the front rod ejects finished parts from an assembly nest.
Bidirectional push station
Equal force in both directions suits a reciprocating transfer slide on a compact packaging machine, moving light trays at 30-500 mm/s.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X10S with the ACED16X10S
For a 10 mm stroke at this force class, 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa both ways covers light clamps and part presenters; step down to the 12 mm bore (42.4 N) for smaller heads or up to the 20 mm bore (117.8 N) if you need more grip. Like any plain double-rod cylinder it drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check for a held load. The fitted -S magnet pairs with CMSE / DMSE switches, and FA/FB flange or LB foot mounts bolt to the ISO 21287 face. Order ACED16X10 as the current replacement.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED16X10S
- ✓ 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 ACPD16X10S FAQ
Because the 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 each way, with a maximum 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 M5x0.8 port depends only on the 16 mm bore.
The ISO 21287-class compact body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end and FA/FB flange or LB foot options. The ACPD family is discontinued; ACED16X10 is the current direct successor in the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
