This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED16X150SB, 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 ACPD16X150SB
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X150SB 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 ACED16X150SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X150SB
This is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to the DIN-standard ACP pattern: a 16 mm bore with a 150 mm stroke, an 8 mm piston rod exiting BOTH covers, and a male rod thread on the B code. Because each side of the piston sees the rod-side area, output force is identical in both directions - 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 105.6 N at 0.7 MPa either way. The 150 mm stroke is beyond the 75 mm standard limit for this bore, so it is a made-to-order build. Note this model is discontinued; the current-production successor is the ISO 21287 ACED16X150, so confirm mounting dimensions before swapping.
The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. A fixed TPU bumper sits at both ends, and travel speed spans 30-500 mm/s at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi). This -S version carries the optional magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clipped on for end-of-stroke sensing.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED16X150SB (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 ACPD16X150SB Is Used
Reciprocating test fixture
A lab endurance rig cycling a 3 kg probe holder at 200 mm/s uses the identical 75.4 N force in both directions, so the return stroke needs no derating.
Gantry part-present sensing
On a small electronics assembly gantry, the rear rod carries a flag while the -S magnet triggers CMSE switches at both ends, confirming clamp state before the robot moves.
Symmetric push-pull ejector
A bottle-line reject station pushes and retracts a sliding gate with equal 105.6 N at 0.7 MPa from one cylinder, halving actuator count in a tight guard.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X150SB with the ACED16X150SB
At 75.4 N per direction, this bore sits between the 12 mm ACPD (42.4 N) and the 20 mm ACPD (117.8 N) - step down for lighter pick-and-place heads, step up when 45 N of real work force is not enough. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve for a held load. The male rod thread (B) suits I/Y knuckles, and FA/FB flange or LB foot mounts bolt to the same face. If you need current production, order the ACED16X150 and verify the ISO 21287 mounting footprint first, since this DIN-standard body differs.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED16X150SB
- ✓ 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 ACPD16X150SB FAQ
Output is equal both ways because a rod exits each cover and both strokes use the rod-side area: 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa, 105.6 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum of 15.4 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, speed 30-500 mm/s, and the 150 mm stroke is a made-to-order length above the 75 mm standard for this bore.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits narrow jigs and guards. The ACPD line is discontinued; the direct successor is the ACED16X150 (swap the P for an E) in the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before converting, and note the fixed TPU bumpers only decelerate at the ends.
