This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED16X35S, 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.

The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X35S 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 ACED16X35S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.
Double acting with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD16X35S pushes and pulls with identical force: 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 105.6 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction, because both strokes work on the rod-side area of the 16 mm bore. The 8 mm through-rod resists rotation and light side load, and its rear end can carry a sensor flag, while fixed TPU bumpers pad both ends of travel. This unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clamped on for end-of-stroke detection.
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 where a full-length body will not fit. Note that this model is discontinued; the current-production replacement is the ACED16X35, which matches the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED16X35S (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.
| 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).
| ACPD | DIN compact cylinder (double-rod, discontinued). |
|---|---|
| 16 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×35 | Stroke length in mm. |
| S | Optional built-in magnet for sensor position sensing (omit for no magnet). |
| B | Rod type: B = male thread; blank = female thread. |
Replacement mapping (swap P for E): ACP→ACE, ASP→ASE, ATP→ATE, ACPD→ACED, ACPJ→ACEJ. ACP-family: ACP (double acting), ASP / ATP (single acting push / pull), ACPD (double rod), ACPJ (double rod, adjustable stroke).
The symmetric 75.4 N push and pull at 0.5 MPa ejects machined bushings or stamped clips off a locating pin, with the through-rod keeping the pusher square to the nest.
With the -S magnet fitted, CMSE or DMSE switches confirm both ends of the 35 mm stroke on a manual station, so the operator cannot skip a clamp step.
Equal force in both directions lets one cylinder push trays left or right at 30-500 mm/s, and the rear rod can drive a second flag or counter for sync feedback.
For this 16 mm bore, 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa both ways suits light clamping and small part transfer. If your load needs more, step up to the 20 mm bore at 117.8 N or the 25 mm bore at 206.2 N; if less force is fine, the 12 mm bore delivers 42.4 N. Stroke 35 mm is within the 75 mm standard range for bore 16, so no made-to-order build is needed. The female M4x0.7 rod thread takes I or Y knuckles, FA/FB flanges or LB feet bolt to the mounting face, and the fitted -S magnet works with CMSE/DMSE switches. Since the ACPD is discontinued, order the ACED16X35 as the direct successor and verify ISO 21287 dimensions first. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check where a held load matters.
Replacement checklist
Force is identical 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 range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the bore 16 port is M5x0.8.
The hard-anodized aluminium body follows the short ISO 21287-class format, saving about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with fixed TPU bumpers at both ends and FA/FB flange or LB foot options. The ACPD family is discontinued; the ACED16X35 is the current direct in the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before ordering.
