This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED16X125, 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 ACPD16X125
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X125 is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 125mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED16X125 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X125
Double acting with a rod exiting both covers, the ACPD16X125 pushes and pulls with the same 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa (105.6 N at 0.7 MPa) because both strokes work on the rod-side area of the 16 mm bore. The 8 mm through-rod resists rotation and light side load, and its rear end can carry a sensor flag or a second tooling plate. The 125 mm stroke is longer than the 75 mm standard for this bore, so it is a made-to-order build.
The hard-anodized aluminium body is an ISO 21287 short design that saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which suits slim gantries and slide tables. This model is discontinued; the current direct is ACED16X125, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED16X125 (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).

Replacement mapping (swap P for E): ACP→ACE, ASP→ASE, ATP→ATE, ACPD→ACED, ACPJ→ACEJ. ACP-family: ACP (double acting), ASP / ATP (single acting push / pull), ACPD (double rod), ACPJ (double rod, adjustable stroke).
Where the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X125 Is Used
Reciprocating slide table
The through-rod drives a small slide on a PCB handling gantry, giving equal 75.4 N push and pull at 0.5 MPa over the 125 mm travel.
Dual-end flag sensing
On a vial sorting fixture, the rear rod carries a flag that trips a switch at mid-stroke while the front rod actuates the gate.
Symmetric clamp bridge
A light fixture bridge on an assembly jig is centered by the double rod, with the fixed TPU bumpers absorbing end-of-travel shock.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X125 with the ACED16X125
Size both ways: the 12 mm bore gives 42.4 N at 0.5 MPa if your load is lighter, while the 20 mm bore delivers 117.8 N if you need more margin. Note that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check for a held load. FA/FB flange and LB foot mountings bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and CMSE or DMSE switches work only if you order the optional -S magnet code. Replace this discontinued unit with ACED16X125.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED16X125
- ✓ 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 ACPD16X125 FAQ
Output is 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 105.6 N at 0.7 MPa, equal in both directions because the double rod exposes the rod-side area on each stroke. Peak force is 15.4 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C, with air filtered to 40 um. The 125 mm stroke is made to order since the bore 16 standard tops out at 75 mm.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a hard-anodized aluminium body, S45C hard-chrome 8 mm rod, M5x0.8 ports, a female M4x0.7 rod thread and fixed TPU bumpers at both ends. Its short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. The model is discontinued; order ACED16X125 as the current direct and confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions first.
