This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED16X150B, 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 ACPD16X150B
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X150B 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 ACED16X150B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X150B
Double acting with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD16X150B pushes and pulls with identical output: 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 105.6 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction, because both strokes work on the rod-side area. The 8 mm through-rod resists rotation and side load, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag while the front rod drives the load. Running on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) air filtered to 40 um, it moves at 30-500 mm/s with a fixed TPU bumper at each end.
The hard-anodized aluminium body follows the short ISO 21287 format, saving roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into narrow fixtures and sliding gates. Note the 150 mm stroke is a made-to-order length, since bore 16 tops out at 75 mm as a standard stroke. This model is discontinued; the current direct is ACED16X150, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED16X150B (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 ACPD16X150B Is Used
Bidirectional pusher on small assembly stations
The through-rod ejects a rejected vial on the forward stroke and retracts a stop pin on the return, delivering the same 75.4 N both ways at 0.5 MPa from one M5x08-fed body.
Dual-end sensor flag carrier for test rigs
With the -S magnet ordered, the rear 8 mm rod carries a CMSE or DMSE switch flag while the front rod drives the probe, giving end-of-travel signals on a 150 mm made-to-order stroke.
Symmetric clamp inside a narrow sliding guard
The short ISO 21287 body, about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, mounts on an LB foot inside a packaging machine guard where a full-length body would not close.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X150B with the ACED16X150B
At 75.4 N per side at 0.5 MPa, this bore suits light clamping and part transfer; step down to bore 12 (42.4 N) for smaller loads or up to bore 20 (117.8 N) when you need more push. The B code gives a male M4x0.7 rod thread on both ends, and the PT port takes M5x0.8 fittings. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put. If you need position sensing, order the -S variant to enable CMSE / DMSE switches; this plain code has no magnet. For new projects, specify ACED16X150 instead.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED16X150B
- ✓ 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 ACPD16X150B FAQ
It is a double-rod cylinder, so output 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. Both strokes use the rod-side area, so push never exceeds pull. The 150 mm stroke is non-standard for bore 16 (75 mm max standard) and is made to order.
Only if you order the -S code, which adds the optional magnet for CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches; the plain ACPD16X150B has no magnet, so no switch can be fitted. The model itself is discontinued - the current-production direct is ACED16X150, same bore, stroke and force class. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP follows a DIN-standard format.
