This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED16X150S, 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.

The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X150S 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 ACED16X150S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.
A double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to the DIN-standard ACP pattern: a rod leaves both covers, so the 16 mm bore delivers an equal 75.4 N in each direction at 0.5 MPa (105.6 N at 0.7 MPa). The 150 mm stroke is longer than the 75 mm standard maximum for this bore, so it is made to order. The -S code on this model means the magnet is fitted, ready for CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it suits tight jigs and guard-mounted tooling. Note 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 ACED16X150S (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.
| 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).
| ACPD | DIN compact cylinder (double-rod, discontinued). |
|---|---|
| 16 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×150 | Stroke length in mm. |
| S | Optional built-in magnet for sensor position sensing (omit for no magnet). |
| B | Rod type: B = male thread; blank = female thread. |
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).
The 150 mm made-to-order stroke and equal 75.4 N both ways suit a lab fixture that pushes and pulls a sample tray at 30-500 mm/s with identical force in each direction.
With the -S magnet fitted, CMSE or DMSE switches on the 8 mm rod report end positions on a small divert gate, while the fixed TPU bumpers soften each stop.
The short body, about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, ejects finished parts from a milling jig where a full-length body would not fit behind the fixture.
For a symmetric 75 N-class job at 0.5 MPa this 16 mm bore fits; step down to the 12 mm bore (42.4 N) for lighter clamps or up to 20 mm (117.8 N) for more margin. The through-rod resists rotation and side load, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. Remember it drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must be held. FA/FB flange and LB foot mountings bolt to the standard face, and the ACED16X150 is the current-production replacement.
Replacement checklist
Yes - the double-rod design means both strokes use the rod-side area, so force is equal either way: 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 105.6 N at 0.7 MPa, 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 port is M5x0.8. The 150 mm stroke is a made-to-order length above the 75 mm standard maximum for a 16 mm bore.
The ACPD family is discontinued; order ACED16X150, the current ISO 21287 direct with the same bore, stroke and force class. Because the ACP is DIN-standard, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE and DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be fitted directly; FA/FB flange and LB foot brackets attach to the standard face.
