This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED16X35, 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 ACPD16X35
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X35 is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 35mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED16X35 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X35
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD16X35 pushes and pulls with identical output: 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 of the 16 mm bore. The through-rod resists rotation and light side load, gives a symmetric mounting point at each end, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. A fixed TPU bumper sits under both covers, and travel speed spans 30-500 mm/s.
The hard-anodized aluminium body follows the short ISO 21287 class, cutting roughly 50% of the mounting length an ISO 15552 profile cylinder would need, so it slots into tight fixtures and guarding. Note this model is discontinued: the current-production direct is the ACED16X35, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED16X35 (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 ACPD16X35 Is Used
Symmetric part ejection
The through-rod ejects finished plastic caps from a molding fixture on either end stroke, delivering the same 75.4 N push and pull at 0.5 MPa so the tooling layout stays balanced.
Flag-driven position check
With the optional -S magnet ordered, a DMSE switch on the 35 mm stroke confirms a slider has reached mid-travel on a small assembly station, using the rear rod to carry the flag.
Bidirectional guide pinning
On a bottling line guide rail, the double rod pins a lane divider from both sides with equal 105.6 N at 0.7 MPa, keeping the guide centered without a second cylinder.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X35 with the ACED16X35
At 75.4 N per side, the 16 mm bore suits light clamping and transfer tasks; step down to the 12 mm bore (42.4 N) for smaller loads or up to the 20 mm bore (117.8 N) when more force is needed. Like any plain double-rod cylinder it will drift if air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check where a load must stay put. Mount with FA/FB flange or LB foot hardware, and remember the magnet is not fitted on this code - order the -S variant if you want CMSE or DMSE switch sensing. For new projects, specify the ACED16X35 instead.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED16X35
- ✓ 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 ACPD16X35 FAQ
Output is equal both ways because a rod exits each cover and both strokes use the rod-side area: 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 105.6 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum of 15.4 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the port is M5x0.8 on this 16 mm bore.
The hard-anodized aluminium body follows the short ISO 21287 class, saving about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end and FA/FB flange or LB foot mounting. The ACPD16X35 is discontinued; the current-production direct is the ACED16X35 in the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
