This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED16X45S, 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 ACPD16X45S
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X45S 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 ACED16X45S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X45S
This is a double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, so the 16 mm bore delivers the same 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa (105.6 N at 0.7 MPa) on every stroke because both sides work on the rod-side area. The through-rod resists rotation and light side load, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag, while fixed TPU bumpers decelerate the piston at each end. The -S code on this model means the magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches mount directly on the body.
The hard-anodized aluminium body is an ISO 21287 short build that saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it suits tight jigs and guarded stations. Note that this model is discontinued: the current-production direct is ACED16X45, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED16X45S (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 ACPD16X45S Is Used
Position-verified ejector on a PCB test line
The through-rod gives equal 75.4 N push and pull for ejecting rejected boards, while the fitted magnet and a DMSE switch confirm home position at each cycle.
Symmetric sample pusher in a lab autosampler
A rod on both covers lets the same 16 mm body present and retract vials with identical force, and the short ISO 21287 body fits inside the instrument enclosure.
Dual-side part clamp in a small fixture
The rear rod carries a workpiece stop while the front rod clamps with about 45 N of usable force, all within a body half the length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X45S with the ACED16X45S
At 75.4 N per direction, this 16 mm unit sits between the 12 mm bore (42.4 N) and the 20 mm bore (117.8 N) at 0.5 MPa, so step up if your part weight approaches the 3.8 kg vertical-lift figure. The piston drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put. FA/FB flange or LB foot mounts bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the fitted -S magnet accepts CMSE / DMSE switches. Since ACPD is discontinued, order ACED16X45 as the current equivalent.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED16X45S
- ✓ 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 ACPD16X45S FAQ
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, force is equal both ways: 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 105.6 N at 0.7 MPa on every stroke, with a maximum of 15.4 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Both strokes use the rod-side area, so there is no push-versus-pull difference.
The ISO 21287 short body cuts mounting length by about 50% compared with an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and fixed TPU bumpers sit at both ends. The -S code means the magnet is fitted, so CMSE / DMSE switches can be added. This model is discontinued; ACED16X45 is the current direct, so verify ISO 21287 mounting dimensions first.
