This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED16X25SB, 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 ACPD16X25SB
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X25SB 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 ACED16X25SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X25SB
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the AirTAC ACPD16X25SB delivers 75.4 N in each direction at 0.5 MPa and 105.6 N at 0.7 MPa, because both strokes work on the rod-side area of the 16 mm bore. The male rod thread (B code) and the fitted -S magnet that accepts CMSE / DMSE switches make it a tidy choice for small clamping and positioning slides. The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight fixtures and guarding.
This model is discontinued; the current-production direct is the ACED16X25 (swap the P for an E), which matches the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP follows a DIN-standard footprint. The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, the fixed TPU bumper decelerates at both ends, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED16X25SB (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 ACPD16X25SB Is Used
Small-parts eject on assembly benches
The 75.4 N bidirectional stroke pushes finished electronics connectors off a nest and retracts with equal force, and the 25 mm travel matches shallow part pockets.
Position-flagged test fixtures
With the -S magnet fitted, CMSE or DMSE switches report end positions on a PCB leak-test station, while the rear rod carries a second flag for a mid-stroke sensor.
Symmetric push-pull gate on a packaging line
A rod on each cover lets one cylinder both open and close a small divert gate with identical 105.6 N force at 0.7 MPa, simplifying the control sequence.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X25SB with the ACED16X25SB
At 75.4 N per side, this 16 mm bore suits light fixtures; step down to the 12 mm bore (42.4 N) for smaller loads or up to the 20 mm bore (117.8 N) when you need more push. Note that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must be held. The 25 mm stroke sits inside the 75 mm standard limit for this bore, FA/FB flange or LB foot mounting bolts to the standard face, and the ACED16X25 is the current replacement to quote.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED16X25SB
- ✓ 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 ACPD16X25SB FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design works on the rod-side area both ways, so force is equal in extend and retract: 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 105.6 N at 0.7 MPa in each direction, 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.
Order the ACED16X25, the current ISO 21287 replacement made by swapping the P for an E. It matches the same 16 mm bore, 25 mm stroke and force class with a short compact body and FA/FB flange or LB foot mounting, but confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture first, since the ACP follows a DIN-standard layout.
