This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED16X25S, 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 ACPD16X25S
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X25S 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 ACED16X25S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X25S
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod exiting both covers, the ACPD16X25S delivers 75.4 N in each direction at 0.5 MPa because both strokes work on the rod-side area. The 16 mm bore carries an 8 mm rod, an M5x0.8 port and an M4x0.7 female rod thread, and the S code means the optional -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be mounted directly on the body. The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it fits tight fixtures and guarding.
The through-rod resists rotation and light side load and gives a symmetric mount, while the rear rod can carry a sensor flag or a second tooling plate. Fixed TPU bumpers sit at both ends, speed runs 30-500 mm/s, and the hard-anodized aluminium body pairs with an S45C hard-chrome rod. Note this model is discontinued: the current-production replacement is the ACED16X25, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED16X25S (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 ACPD16X25S Is Used
Small-part ejection
Pushes finished bushings or pins off a machining fixture with 75.4 N from either side, the 25 mm stroke clearing the part in one move.
Position-flagged indexing
The fitted -S magnet lets a DMSE switch confirm end positions on a rotary indexing table, while the rear rod drives a second flag.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X25S with the ACED16X25S
For a 25 mm stroke at this force class, 75.4 N per side at 0.5 MPa suits small clamping and transfer tasks; if you need more, the 20 mm bore gives 117.8 N, and the 12 mm bore gives 42.4 N when space is tighter. The piston drifts if air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check for a held load. FA/FB flange and LB foot mounts bolt to the same face family, and this -S version already carries the magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches. Order the ACED16X25 as the current direct and verify the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED16X25S
- ✓ 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 ACPD16X25S FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, 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. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
No, it is discontinued. The current-production direct is the ACED16X25, which matches the same 16 mm bore, 25 mm stroke and force class in the ISO 21287 family. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP is DIN-standard.
