This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED16X45B, 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 ACPD16X45B
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X45B is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 45mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED16X45B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X45B
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the discontinued ACPD16X45B pushes and pulls with identical force: 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 105.6 N at 0.7 MPa in each direction, because both strokes work on the rod-side area of the 16 mm bore. The 8 mm through-rod resists rotation and side load, gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag, while fixed TPU bumpers decelerate the piston at both ends. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into slim fixtures, small gantries and guarded cells. Note this model is discontinued: the current-production direct is ACED16X45, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED16X45B (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 ACPD16X45B Is Used
Bidirectional parts pusher
On a small electronics assembly line the through-rod ejects PCB trays left or right with the same 75.4 N from either end, so one valve circuit handles both directions.
Compact fixture clamp
Inside a tight machining jig the short body fits where a full-length cylinder cannot, clamping small aluminium brackets with about 45 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa.
Rear-rod flag station
The second rod on the back cover carries a switch flag for a PLC end-of-stroke signal on a packaging feed - order the -S magnet version to enable CMSE / DMSE switches.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X45B with the ACED16X45B
At 75.4 N per side at 0.5 MPa this 16 mm bore suits light clamping and transfer; step down to the 12 mm bore (42.4 N) for tighter spaces or up to 20 mm (117.8 N) when the load grows. The 45 mm stroke sits well inside the 75 mm standard limit for this bore, so no made-to-order stroke is needed. The B code gives a male M4x0.7 rod thread; the port is M5x0.8. Because no -S code is present there is no magnet and no CMSE / DMSE switch can be fitted - order the -S variant if position sensing matters. A plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check for a held load. Replacement: ACED16X45.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED16X45B
- ✓ 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 ACPD16X45B FAQ
Yes - it is a double-rod cylinder, so force is equal both ways: 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 105.6 N at 0.7 MPa per direction (rod-side area), with a maximum of 15.4 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C, port M5x0.8, male M4x0.7 rod thread (B code).
No - the ACPD family is discontinued. The current-production direct is ACED16X45 (swap the P for an E), an ISO 21287 compact cylinder in the same bore, stroke and force class. Before swapping, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture, since the ACP was built to a DIN-standard footprint. Also note the -S magnet is an option on both families: without it, no CMSE / DMSE switch can be mounted.
