This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED16X175B, 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 ACPD16X175B
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X175B 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 ACED16X175B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X175B
Double acting with a rod exiting both covers, the ACPD16X175B delivers 75.4 N in each direction at 0.5 MPa (105.6 N at 0.7 MPa), because both strokes work on the rod-side area. The 8 mm through-rod resists rotation and side load, gives a symmetric mounting point, and leaves the rear rod free to carry a sensor flag. The 175 mm stroke is longer than the 75 mm standard limit for a 16 mm bore, so it is a made-to-order build. Note this model is discontinued; the current-production successor is ACED16X175.
The short ISO 21287-class body cuts roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into slim pick-and-place arms and test fixtures. A fixed TPU bumper sits at each end, and the hard-anodized aluminium body pairs with an S45C hard-chrome rod for long seal life.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED16X175B (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 ACPD16X175B Is Used
Reciprocating small-part transfer
The through-rod drives a lightweight gripper or pusher on both strokes at an equal 75.4 N, ideal for shuttle moves between two stations on an electronics assembly bench.
Flag-carrying position feedback
The rear rod can mount a sensor flag, so a packaging machine can confirm extend and retract positions of a labeling head without extra hardware on the front rod.
Compact test and inspection rigs
With about 45 N of practical force at 0.5 MPa, the cylinder presses probe tips or actuates small test levers inside slim fixtures where a full-length body will not fit.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X175B with the ACED16X175B
At 75.4 N per side, this 16 mm bore suits light clamping and small-part transfer; step down to the 12 mm bore (42.4 N) for tighter spaces or up to 20 mm (117.8 N) when you need more push without changing ports. The male rod thread (B code) accepts standard rod knuckles directly. If you need position feedback, order the -S variant with the optional magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches - this non-S model has no magnet fitted. For new designs, specify ACED16X175 instead and confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED16X175B
- ✓ 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 ACPD16X175B FAQ
Force is equal in both directions: 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 105.6 N at 0.7 MPa (rod-side area on both strokes), with a maximum of 15.4 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), temperature -20 to +70 C, speed 30-500 mm/s, with an M5x0.8 port and a male rod thread. The 175 mm stroke is a made-to-order length above the 75 mm standard for this bore.
The short ISO 21287-class aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and FA/FB flange or LB foot brackets bolt to its faces. A fixed TPU bumper at each end simply decelerates the piston at the ends of travel - it does not hold or brake a load, so use a rod lock or pilot check where a load must stay put. This model is discontinued; the direct successor is ACED16X175, and you should confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
