This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED16X150, 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 ACPD16X150
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X150 is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 150mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED16X150 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X150
A double acting, double-rod compact cylinder in the discontinued ACPD series, the ACPD16X150 uses a 16 mm bore and a 150 mm stroke to deliver 75.4 N in BOTH directions at 0.5 MPa, because the through-rod leaves the same rod-side area on each side. At 0.7 MPa that rises to 105.6 N either way. The rod exits both covers, so the back-end rod can carry a sensor flag while the front rod does the work, and the through-rod resists rotation and side load better than a blind-end design.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is how a 150 mm stroke fits into slim slides and gantry axes. Note the 150 mm stroke is beyond the 75 mm standard maximum for bore 16, so it is made to order. This model is discontinued; the current direct is ACED16X150 - confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED16X150 (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 ACPD16X150 Is Used
Bidirectional push station
The through-rod gives 75.4 N both ways at 0.5 MPa, so one cylinder can eject a small plastic part forward and retract a locator back with equal force - no second cylinder needed.
Sensor-flag slide
The rear rod carries a flag past a CMSE or DMSE switch (order the -S magnet code) to confirm mid-stroke position on a 150 mm transfer slide in an electronics assembly cell.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X150 with the ACED16X150
At 75.4 N per side at 0.5 MPa, this bore suits light clamping and small part transfer; step down to bore 12 (42.4 N) for tighter loads or up to bore 20 (117.8 N) when force runs short. The 150 mm stroke exceeds the 75 mm standard limit for bore 16, so order it as a non-standard made-to-order stroke. Female M4x0.7 rod thread, M5x0.8 ports, PT body ports. A plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check for held loads. The magnet is the optional -S code; without it no CMSE / DMSE switch can be fitted. Replacement: ACED16X150.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED16X150
- ✓ 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 ACPD16X150 FAQ
Yes - it is a double-rod cylinder, so force is EQUAL both ways: 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 105.6 N at 0.7 MPa per side, with a maximum of 15.4 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, air filtered to 40 um.
No - bore 16 tops out at 75 mm as a standard stroke, so 150 mm is a made-to-order non-standard stroke. The ACPD series is discontinued; the current-production direct is ACED16X150 (swap the P for an E), which matches the same bore, stroke and force class. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP is DIN-standard.
