This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED16X60, 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 ACPD16X60
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X60 is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 60mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED16X60 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X60
A double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to the DIN-standard ACP layout, the ACPD16X60 pushes a 16 mm bore through a 60 mm stroke with a rod leaving both covers. Because each side works on the rod-side area, output is identical in both directions: 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 105.6 N at 0.7 MPa. The through-rod resists rotation and light side load, gives a symmetric mounting face, and leaves the rear rod free to carry a sensor flag. A fixed TPU bumper sits at each end, and stroke speed runs 30-500 mm/s on air filtered to 40 um.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it suits slim fixtures and guarded stations. Note this model is discontinued: the current-production direct is the ACED16X60, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. The optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches; without it no sensing is possible.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED16X60 (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 ACPD16X60 Is Used
Small-parts ejection
The symmetric 75.4 N through-rod push kicks machined pins off a lathe fixture in both stroke directions without a bracket on the rear cover.
Gated inspection station
A 60 mm stroke slides a vision-check gate in a slim guard; with the -S magnet ordered, CMSE switches report end positions on the compact body.
Carton flap tucking
Equal force both ways at 105.6 N at 0.7 MPa folds flaps on a small packaging line, with the rear rod carrying a flag for stroke feedback.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X60 with the ACED16X60
At 75.4 N per side at 0.5 MPa, this 16 mm bore covers light clamping and part transfer; step down to the 12 mm bore (42.4 N) for gentler handling or up to the 20 mm bore (117.8 N) when the load grows. The 60 mm stroke sits inside the 75 mm standard limit for this bore. Choose the female M4x0.7 rod thread as coded, or add B for a male thread. FA/FB flange and LB foot mountings bolt to the ISO 21287 face. If the load must stay put when air is lost, add a rod lock or pilot check - the cylinder itself drifts. Order ACED16X60 as the current replacement.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED16X60
- ✓ 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 ACPD16X60 FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design works on the rod-side area at each end, so force is equal both ways: 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 105.6 N at 0.7 MPa, peaking at 15.4 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, air filtered to 40 um, -20 to +70 C, and 30-500 mm/s speed.
Order the ACED16X60, the current-production ISO 21287 successor made by swapping the P for an E. It matches the same 16 mm bore, 60 mm stroke and force class, but confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before the swap since the ACPD follows the older DIN-standard layout. FA/FB flange and LB foot options carry over, and the optional -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches is ordered the same way.
