This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED16X175, 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 ACPD16X175
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X175 is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 175mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED16X175 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X175
The ACPD16X175 is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder in the discontinued AirTAC ACP family: an 8 mm rod exits both hard-anodized aluminium covers, so the 16 mm bore delivers the same 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa (105.6 N at 0.7 MPa) in either direction because both strokes work on the rod-side area. The through-rod resists rotation and light side load, gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag, while fixed TPU bumpers pad both ends of the 175 mm travel.
Its short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is how a long 175 mm stroke still fits a slim gantry or guard. At 0.5 MPa the 75.4 N output supports roughly 45 N of real work - about 4.6 kg - so plan tooling weight accordingly. Note this is a made-to-order stroke: the maximum standard stroke for a 16 mm bore is 75 mm. This model is discontinued; the current-production direct is ACED16X175, and buyers should confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED16X175 (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 ACPD16X175 Is Used
Reciprocating test shuttle
The rear rod carries a sensor flag on a small electronics test rig, driving a probe carriage back and forth over a 175 mm stroke with equal 75.4 N force each way at 0.5 MPa.
Push-pull fixture actuator
A fixture that must both insert and retract a light guide bushing uses the through-rod: about 45 N of usable work force per direction keeps the mechanism symmetric and compact.
Slim gate kicker
Kicking small cartons off a packaging conveyor inside a tight guard, where the short ISO 21287-class body fits the space a full-length profile cylinder cannot.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X175 with the ACED16X175
For a job needing 75.4 N in both directions, a 12 mm bore gives only 42.4 N at 0.5 MPa, while a 20 mm bore raises it to 117.8 N - so the 16 mm bore sits between them for light clamping or transfer. The 175 mm stroke is non-standard (bore 16 tops out at 75 mm standard) and is built to order. Rod end is female M4x0.7, port is M5x0.8, and FA/FB flange or LB foot mounts bolt to the ISO 21287 face. No magnet is fitted on this code; order the -S variant if you need CMSE or DMSE switch positions. This model is discontinued - specify ACED16X175 as the current replacement and verify mounting dimensions.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED16X175
- ✓ 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 ACPD16X175 FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, output is equal both ways: 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 175 mm stroke is made to order since 75 mm is the standard maximum for this bore.
Only when the optional -S magnet is ordered - this base code has no magnet, so no CMSE or DMSE switch can be read. The ACPD family is discontinued; ACED16X175 is the current ISO 21287 direct in the same bore, stroke and force class. Confirm the mounting dimensions against your fixture before swapping, and remember a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - use a rod lock or pilot check to hold a load.
