This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED16X5, 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 ACPD16X5
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X5 is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 5mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED16X5 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X5
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD16X5 delivers an identical 75.4 N in each direction at 0.5 MPa (105.6 N at 0.7 MPa) because both strokes work on the rod-side area of the 16 mm bore. The 5 mm stroke suits tiny clamp or eject motions, and the through-rod resists rotation and light side load while giving a symmetric mounting face. Its short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into slim fixtures and guarding where a full-length body will not fit.
The hard-anodized aluminium body carries aluminium covers with a fixed TPU bumper at each end, and the S45C hard-chrome rod runs on a two-way grease-storing piston seal. Note that this model is discontinued: the current-production direct is the ACED16X5, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED16X5 (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 ACPD16X5 Is Used
Micro clamp on an electronics assembly head
The 75.4 N both-ways force at 0.5 MPa is enough to seat small PCB connectors or hold a light bracket while screws are driven, and the 5 mm stroke keeps the head profile minimal.
Flag carrier for a bottle-line reject gate
With the optional -S magnet ordered, a CMSE or DMSE switch tracks the 5 mm eject motion, and the back-end rod can carry a second flag for a redundant confirm signal.
Symmetric push-pull in a watch-part jig
A rod on each cover means the same 105.6 N at 0.7 MPa pushes and pulls, ideal for centering a tiny workpiece between two fixtures in one compact block.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X5 with the ACED16X5
For a 5 mm stroke in this force band, the 12 mm bore gives 42.4 N at 0.5 MPa and the 20 mm bore gives 117.8 N, so pick the ACPD16X5 when roughly 75 N is the target. Remember it drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check if a position must be held. The optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches; without it no sensor can be fitted. FA/FB flange and LB foot mountings bolt to the standard face. This unit is discontinued - order the ACED16X5 as the current equivalent.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED16X5
- ✓ 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 ACPD16X5 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 there is no push-versus-pull difference. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and speed is 30-500 mm/s.
The short ISO 21287-class body cuts about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with FA/FB flange and LB foot options and a fixed TPU bumper at each end. The ACPD16X5 is discontinued; the current-production replacement is the ACED16X5 in the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
