This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED16X35SB, 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 ACPD16X35SB
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X35SB 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 ACED16X35SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X35SB
A double acting compact cylinder with a through piston rod, the ACPD16X35SB drives a 16 mm bore over a 35 mm stroke and delivers 75.4 N in BOTH directions at 0.5 MPa (105.6 N at 0.7 MPa), because each side of the piston sees the same rod-side area. The B code gives a male rod thread, and the S code means the optional magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clipped on for end-of-stroke sensing. This model is discontinued; the current-production direct is the ACED16X35.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it suits tight slides and small fixtures. A fixed TPU bumper sits at both ends, and the back rod can carry a sensor flag or guide a symmetric load. Running spec: 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-500 mm/s, air filtered to 40 um.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED16X35SB (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 ACPD16X35SB Is Used
Lab sample pusher
The 75.4 N both-ways output and 35 mm stroke suit sliding sample trays between test stations on compact benchtop analyzers.
Electronics fixture clamp
With the fitted magnet and a DMSE switch, the male-threaded rod clamps small PCB carriers in a test jig and confirms clamped position.
Reciprocating guide
The through rod resists rotation and side load, making it a fit for short symmetric shuttle motions on small packaging or sorting heads.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X35SB with the ACED16X35SB
At 75.4 N per side at 0.5 MPa, this 16 mm bore covers light clamping and small part transfer; step down to a 12 mm bore (42.4 N) for gentler loads or up to 20 mm (117.8 N) when you need more margin. The 35 mm stroke sits well inside the 75 mm standard limit for this bore. Note that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must be held. For new builds, order the ACED16X35 instead and confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED16X35SB
- ✓ 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 ACPD16X35SB 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 the extend and return strokes alike, with a maximum of 15.4 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C, and the rod is 8 mm with a male thread (B code).
The ACPD family is discontinued. The current-production replacement is the ACED16X35 (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 is DIN-standard. On this S-coded version the optional magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be mounted; without the -S code there is no magnet.
