This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED16X175S, 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 ACPD16X175S
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X175S 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 ACED16X175S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X175S
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD16X175S pushes and pulls with identical force because each stroke works on the rod-side area: 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 105.6 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction. The 16 mm bore drives an 8 mm through-rod with a female M4x0.7 thread, and the S code means the optional -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE switches can report position. Note the 175 mm stroke is longer than the 75 mm standard maximum for this bore, so it is a made-to-order build.
The hard-anodized aluminium body is an ISO 21287 short build that saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which helps in slim pick-and-place gantries and tight fixture plates. The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, while the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. Fixed TPU bumpers sit at both ends, speed runs 30-500 mm/s, and pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi). This model is discontinued; the current-production replacement is the ACED16X175 in the same bore, stroke and force class, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED16X175S (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 ACPD16X175S Is Used
Bidirectional small-part transfer
The equal 75.4 N push and pull at 0.5 MPa lets one 16 mm through-rod shuttle a light tray or vial holder both ways on a lab automation line without a return spring or reversed porting.
Flag-driven position sensing
With the -S magnet fitted, a CMSE or DMSE switch on the body reads mid-stroke positions, while the rear rod can carry a second flag for end-of-travel confirmation on a packaging check station.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X175S with the ACED16X175S
At 75.4 N per side at 0.5 MPa, this bore suits light gates, small chutes and sensor-flag carriers; for heavier clamps step up to the 20 mm bore (117.8 N both ways) or down to the 12 mm bore (42.4 N) for tiny slides. The through-rod gives equal push and pull, so size the load on the rod-side figure, not a larger bore-side value. A plain double-rod cylinder will drift when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put. The fitted -S magnet pairs with CMSE / DMSE switches, and FA/FB flange or LB foot mounts bolt to the ISO 21287 face. Since this unit is discontinued, order the ACED16X175 as the direct successor and verify the mounting dimensions.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED16X175S
- ✓ 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 ACPD16X175S FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, output is equal in both directions: 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 105.6 N at 0.7 MPa on every stroke, with a maximum of 15.4 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The bore is 16 mm, the rod is 8 mm with a female M4x0.7 thread, the port is M5x0.8, speed is 30-500 mm/s, and operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof. The 175 mm stroke exceeds the 75 mm standard maximum for this bore, so it is made to order.
AirTAC no longer produces the ACPD family. The current direct is the ACED16X175, the ISO 21287 successor with the same 16 mm bore, 175 mm stroke and force class. The ACP series follows a DIN-standard layout, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before swapping, and re-check the FA/FB flange or LB foot hole pattern.
