This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED16X5B, 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 ACPD16X5B
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X5B 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 ACED16X5B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X5B
Double acting with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD16X5B is a discontinued DIN-standard compact cylinder for 16 mm bore, 5 mm stroke work. Because each stroke sees the rod-side area, output is equal both ways: 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 105.6 N at 0.7 MPa. The through-rod resists rotation and light side load, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. A fixed TPU bumper sits at each end, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight pick-and-place heads and small fixtures. This model is discontinued; the current direct is ACED16X5, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED16X5B (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 ACPD16X5B Is Used
Micro press ejection
The 5 mm stroke ejects finished watch or connector pins from a micro die, with 75.4 N available in either direction at 0.5 MPa.
Small-part transfer slide
Equal force both ways moves SMD trays or vial caps a short 5 mm between stations on an electronics assembly bench.
Fixture hold-down
About 45 N of usable clamping at 0.5 MPa secures thin PCBs or gaskets in a drill jig, with the rear rod carrying a position flag.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X5B with the ACED16X5B
At 75.4 N per side, bore 16 suits light clamping and small part transfer; drop to bore 12 (42.4 N) for tighter loads or step up to bore 20 (117.8 N) for more grip. A plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check for a held load. The B code gives a male M4x0.7 rod thread and the port is M5x0.8. Sensors need the optional -S magnet code with CMSE / DMSE switches; this unit has none. Order ACED16X5 as the current replacement.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED16X5B
- ✓ 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 ACPD16X5B FAQ
It is a double-rod cylinder, so force is identical on both strokes: 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 105.6 N at 0.7 MPa (rod-side area each way). Peak output is 15.4 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, bore 16 mm, stroke 5 mm, rod 8 mm, port M5x0.8, male M4x0.7 rod thread (B code).
No - the ACPD family is discontinued. The current-production direct is ACED16X5 (swap the P for an E), which matches the same 16 mm bore, 5 mm stroke and force class in the ISO 21287 short body. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP was built to the DIN standard. Also note the magnet is optional: order the -S code if you need CMSE / DMSE switch sensing.
