This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED16X10SB, 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 ACPD16X10SB
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X10SB 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 ACED16X10SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X10SB
Double acting with a rod exiting both covers, the ACPD16X10SB is a discontinued DIN-standard compact cylinder in the 16 mm bore class. Because both strokes work on the rod-side area, output is equal in each direction: 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. The through-rod resists rotation and light side load, and its rear end doubles as a mount for a sensor flag. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clipped on for end-of-stroke signalling.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it suits slim slides, test fixtures and tight guarding. A hard-anodized aluminium body pairs with an S45C hard-chrome rod, fixed TPU bumpers sit at both ends, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi). This unit is discontinued: the current-production direct is the ACED16X10, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED16X10SB (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 ACPD16X10SB Is Used
Lab sample pusher
The 75.4 N symmetric output slides sample trays between test stations on a compact bench rig, with the rear rod carrying a switch flag for position feedback.
Blister pack kick-off
A 10 mm stroke with equal force both ways nudges blister cards off a small conveyor at up to 500 mm/s, fitting the narrow gap under the discharge guard.
Gantry part present check
With the -S magnet fitted, CMSE or DMSE switches confirm the probe has retracted on a pick-and-place gantry where a full-length cylinder will not fit.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X10SB with the ACED16X10SB
At 75.4 N per side at 0.5 MPa, the 16 mm bore covers light clamping and sorting tasks; drop to the 12 mm bore (42.4 N) for gentler ejection or step up to 20 mm (117.8 N) when the part is heavier. The 10 mm stroke sits well inside the 75 mm standard limit for this bore, so it is a catalogue item, not a made-to-order build. The male rod thread (B code) takes I/Y knuckles directly, and FA/FB flange or LB foot brackets bolt to the same face. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check where a load must stay put. Since this model is discontinued, order the ACED16X10 as the like-for-like replacement.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED16X10SB
- ✓ 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 ACPD16X10SB FAQ
It is a double-rod, double-acting cylinder, so force is identical on extend and retract: 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 105.6 N at 0.7 MPa, peaking at 15.4 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Both strokes use the rod-side area because a rod exits each cover. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof rating, speed 30-500 mm/s, and the port is M5x0.8.
The short ISO 21287-class 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 ACPD16X10SB is no longer in production; the current direct is the ACED16X10 - same bore, stroke and force class - so verify the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before you swap.
