This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED16X160, 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 ACPD16X160
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X160 is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 160mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED16X160 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X160
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD16X160 delivers 75.4 N in either direction at 0.5 MPa (105.6 N at 0.7 MPa), because both strokes work on the rod-side area. The 160 mm stroke is a made-to-order length - the longest standard stroke for a 16 mm bore is 75 mm - so plan a longer lead time. This model is discontinued; the current-production direct is the ISO 21287 ACED16X160, and you should confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping since the ACP is DIN-standard.
The through-rod resists rotation and light side load and gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. Its short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it suits tight slides and guarding. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end. Note that no magnet is fitted; the optional -S code adds one so CMSE / DMSE switches can be used.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED16X160 (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 ACPD16X160 Is Used
Reciprocating test slide
The through-rod drives a small fixture back and forth on a lab test bench, with the rear rod carrying a flag past a switch when the optional -S magnet is ordered.
Clamp and counter-clamp station
Equal 75.4 N force both ways at 0.5 MPa lets one cylinder press a PCB assembly into a nest and retract it with identical force on a light assembly line.
Compact gantry ejector
The short body fits inside a tight pick-and-place gantry where a full-length profile cylinder will not, pushing finished caps off a mold insert in a packaging cell.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X160 with the ACED16X160
For this 16 mm bore, 75.4 N per direction at 0.5 MPa is the ceiling - if your jig needs more, step up to the 20 mm bore (117.8 N) or 25 mm bore (206.2 N); if less, the 12 mm bore gives 42.4 N. The 160 mm stroke is non-standard for bore 16, so expect a made-to-order build. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put. FA/FB flange or LB foot mounting bolts to the ISO 21287 face, and the ACED16X160 is the current replacement to order.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED16X160
- ✓ 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 ACPD16X160 FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, force is equal in both directions: 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 160 mm stroke is a made-to-order length above the 75 mm standard maximum for this bore.
Sensing needs the optional -S magnet code at ordering - without it no magnet is fitted and no CMSE or DMSE switch can be mounted. The ACPD16X160 itself is discontinued; the ACED16X160 (ISO 21287, same bore, stroke and force class) is the current direct, but verify the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions first because the ACP was built to the DIN standard.
