This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED16X30S, 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 ACPD16X30S
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X30S is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 30mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED16X30S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X30S
Double acting with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD16X30S pushes and pulls with identical force because each stroke works on the rod-side area: 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 105.6 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction. The 30 mm stroke sits well inside the 75 mm standard range for the 16 mm bore, and the through-rod resists rotation and light side load while the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clipped on for end-of-stroke sensing.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it suits slim fixtures and guarding. A fixed TPU bumper pads each end, the hard-anodized aluminium body carries an S45C hard-chrome rod, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi). Note that this ACPD is discontinued: the current direct is ACED16X30, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED16X30S (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 ACPD16X30S Is Used
Position-flagged gate check on a packaging line
The rear rod carries a flag past a CMSE switch, confirming the 30 mm gate stroke on each cycle of a small carton pusher.
Symmetric eject in a jig drilling fixture
Equal 75.4 N force both ways lets one through-rod eject a bushing then retract a locator, with the 8 mm rod resisting rotation.
Reciprocating sample pusher in a lab autosampler
The -S magnet and DMSE switches mark both ends of the 30 mm travel, while the compact body fits the tight instrument deck.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X30S with the ACED16X30S
Pick the 16 mm bore when your job needs under about 45 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa; the 12 mm bore gives 42.4 N at the same pressure if you want a step down, and the 20 mm bore delivers 117.8 N when you need more. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put. FA/FB flange and LB foot mounts bolt to the standard face, and this -S version already carries the magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches. For new designs, order the current-production ACED16X30 instead and verify the ISO 21287 footprint.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED16X30S
- ✓ 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 ACPD16X30S FAQ
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, output is equal both ways: 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 105.6 N at 0.7 MPa on each stroke, with a peak of 15.4 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), from -20 to +70 C at 30-500 mm/s.
This model is no longer in production; the current direct is ACED16X30, which matches the bore, stroke and force class. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP is DIN-standard. This unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount directly; order the -S code on the replacement to keep sensing.
