This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED16X175SB, 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 ACPD16X175SB
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X175SB 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 ACED16X175SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X175SB
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD16X175SB pushes and pulls with identical force - 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa in each direction, since both strokes work on the rod-side area. The through-rod resists rotation and light side load, gives a symmetric mounting point, and leaves the rear rod free to carry a sensor flag. Its hard-anodized aluminium body is an ISO 21287 short build, saving roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs and gantries.
This exact model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clipped on for end-of-stroke signalling, and the B code gives a male rod thread. The 175 mm stroke is longer than the 75 mm standard maximum for a 16 mm bore, so it is made to order. Note that ACPD is discontinued: the current-production successor is ACED16X175, a direct in the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED16X175SB (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 ACPD16X175SB Is Used
Signalled parts ejection
The rear rod carries a flag for CMSE or DMSE switches (this -S model has the magnet fitted), confirming each eject stroke on a small electronics assembly line.
Symmetric push-pull transfer
Equal 75.4 N force both ways lets a dual-grip fixture push a PCB carrier into a test nest and retract it with the same force, no direction derating.
Compact jig clamping
The short ISO 21287 body fits inside a drill jig where a full-length profile cylinder would overhang, applying about 45 N of practical clamp force at 0.5 MPa.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X175SB with the ACED16X175SB
At 75.4 N per direction (0.5 MPa) this 16 mm bore suits light clamping and transfer work; step down to the 12 mm bore (42.4 N) for smaller loads or up to the 20 mm bore (117.8 N) when more force is needed. The through-rod handles the load on either end, but the piston will drift if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check where a position must be held. FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot and FTC brackets bolt to the ISO 21287 face. Since ACPD is discontinued, order ACED16X175 as the current replacement and verify mounting dimensions.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED16X175SB
- ✓ 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 ACPD16X175SB 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 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, temperature -20 to +70 C, air filtered to 40 um. The 175 mm stroke exceeds the 75 mm standard maximum for a 16 mm bore, so it is a made-to-order stroke.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a hard-anodized aluminium body, S45C hard-chrome rod, male rod thread (B code), M5x0.8 ports and a fixed TPU bumper at both ends that only decelerates at stroke ends. The -S magnet is fitted on this model, enabling CMSE / DMSE switches. ACPD is discontinued; the current direct is ACED16X175 (swap the P for an E) in the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before ordering.
