This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED16X35B, 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 ACPD16X35B
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X35B 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 ACED16X35B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X35B
This double acting ACPD16X35B is a DIN-standard compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, so the 16 mm bore delivers 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa (105.6 N at 0.7 MPa) in each direction because both strokes work on the rod-side area. The male-threaded 8 mm rod (the B code) bolts to I/Y knuckles, and the through-rod resists rotation and side load while the back-end rod can carry a sensor flag. Note: this model is discontinued - the current-production direct is the ACED16X35.
The hard-anodized aluminium body is an ISO 21287 short build that saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into tight pick-and-place heads and small guarding frames. A fixed TPU bumper sits at both ends, speed runs 30-500 mm/s over 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) of clean 40 um filtered air, and the 35 mm stroke sits well inside the 75 mm standard range for this bore.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED16X35B (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 ACPD16X35B Is Used
Small-part ejection from plastic molds
The 35 mm stroke and equal 75.4 N output in both directions knock finished clips or bushings off a mold face and retract the pusher at the same force through the through-rod.
Reject pusher on electronics conveyor lines
With the male-threaded rod driving a paddle, the cylinder diverts defective PCBs off a narrow belt; the back-end rod carries a flag for CMSE or DMSE switches when the -S magnet is ordered.
Sample press in lab automation stations
About 4 kg of vertical press capacity at 0.5 MPa seats vials or microplates in assay fixtures where the short ISO 21287 body must fit under a low instrument cover.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X35B with the ACED16X35B
At 75.4 N per side, this 16 mm bore suits light clamping and small part transfer; step down to the 12 mm bore (42.4 N) for tiny fixtures or up to the 20 mm bore (117.8 N) when you need more push without growing the envelope. Like any plain double-rod cylinder it drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check for a held load. The optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches - without the S code no magnet is fitted. FA/FB flange and LB foot mounts bolt to the ISO 21287 face. Since ACPD is discontinued, order the ACED16X35 and confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED16X35B
- ✓ 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 ACPD16X35B 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, with a maximum of 15.4 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Both strokes use the rod-side area of the 16 mm bore, so push and pull are identical. The model is discontinued; the ACED16X35 matches this force class.
It is an ISO 21287 short-body build in hard-anodized aluminium, saving roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. FA/FB flanges and LB feet bolt straight to the standard face, and the male-threaded 8 mm rod takes I/Y knuckles. A fixed TPU bumper decelerates at each end, and the optional -S magnet allows CMSE / DMSE switch mounting.
