This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED16X25, 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 ACPD16X25
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X25 is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 25mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED16X25 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X25
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD16X25 pushes and pulls with identical output: 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 105.6 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction, since both strokes work on the rod-side area of the 16 mm bore. The through-rod resists rotation and light side load, gives a symmetric mounting point, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. A fixed TPU bumper sits at each end and travel speed runs 30-500 mm/s.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into slim fixtures and guarding where a full-length body will not fit. Note this model is discontinued; the current-production direct is the ACED16X25, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED16X25 (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 ACPD16X25 Is Used
Small-part ejection from fixtures
The 75.4 N per-side output at 0.5 MPa is enough to kick machined pins or brackets off a jig, and the 25 mm stroke keeps the envelope tight.
Dual-position sensing on test rigs
With the optional -S magnet ordered, CMSE or DMSE switches read both rod ends, and the rear through-rod can carry a flag for extra detection points.
Symmetric press or transfer head
Equal force in both directions makes the through-rod handy for a light stamping or flip station where push and pull loads match.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X25 with the ACED16X25
At 75.4 N per side at 0.5 MPa, the 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 margin. The 25 mm stroke sits well inside the 75 mm standard limit for this bore. The through-rod helps where rotation must be resisted; if a load must stay put on air loss, add a rod lock or pilot check rather than relying on the cylinder. FA/FB flange and LB foot mountings bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and CMSE/DMSE switches work only if you order the optional -S magnet code. Order the ACED16X25 as the current replacement.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED16X25
- ✓ 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 ACPD16X25 FAQ
Output is 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 105.6 N at 0.7 MPa, equal in both directions because the double rod puts the rod-side area on each stroke. Peak force at 1.0 MPa is 15.4 kgf. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure.
AirTAC no longer produces the ACPD family. The current-production successor is the ACED16X25, an ISO 21287 compact cylinder in the same 16 mm bore, 25 mm stroke and force class. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before swapping, since the ACP was built to a DIN standard, and remember the -S magnet code if you need CMSE/DMSE switch capability.
