This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED16X25B, 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 ACPD16X25B
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X25B 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 ACED16X25B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X25B
This ACPD16X25B is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder with a 16 mm bore and 25 mm stroke: a rod exits both covers, so the through-rod 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 male rod thread (B code) suits external rod accessories, and the back-end rod can carry a sensor flag or guide a symmetric fixture. The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs and guarding where a full-length body will not fit.
Built with a hard-anodized aluminium body, S45C hard-chrome rod and a fixed TPU bumper at each end, it runs on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) air filtered to 40 um at 30-500 mm/s. Note this model is discontinued: the current-production direct is the ACED16X25 (swap the P for an E) in the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. The magnet is not fitted on this code; order the -S version if you need CMSE / DMSE switches.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED16X25B (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 ACPD16X25B Is Used
Small-part ejector in a plastic molding cell
The 75.4 N both-ways output and 25 mm stroke kick molded caps off a nest, with the through-rod keeping the tooling square on eject.
Sample pusher on a lab automation deck
The short body saves about 50% of the length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, fitting the 25 mm stroke into crowded instrument frames.
Symmetric part transfer on a packaging line
A rod at each cover gives a mirrored mount for gripper plates, moving blister trays at 30-500 mm/s with equal force either way.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X25B with the ACED16X25B
At 16 mm bore the equal push/pull of 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa suits light clamping and small part transfer; step down to the 12 mm bore (42.4 N) for gentler forces or up to 20 mm (117.8 N) when you need more margin. The 25 mm stroke sits well inside the 75 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore. Because a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, add a rod lock or pilot check for held loads. FA/FB flange, LB foot and clevis brackets bolt to the standard face, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switch sensing. For new projects, specify the ACED16X25 instead - this ACPD code is discontinued.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED16X25B
- ✓ 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 ACPD16X25B FAQ
Yes - it is a double-rod cylinder, so force is equal in both directions: 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 105.6 N at 0.7 MPa on each stroke, with a maximum of 15.4 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Both strokes use the rod-side area because a rod exits each cover. In practice, budget about 45 N (roughly 4.6 kg of push) for real work at 0.5 MPa.
It is a compact ISO 21287-class cylinder with a hard-anodized aluminium body, S45C hard-chrome rod, M5x0.8 ports, a male rod thread (B code) and a fixed TPU bumper at each end. The magnet is the optional -S code - without it, no CMSE / DMSE switch can be fitted. This model is discontinued; the current direct is the ACED16X25, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before ordering.
