This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED16X60B, 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 ACPD16X60B
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X60B 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 ACED16X60B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X60B
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD16X60B pushes and pulls with identical force because both strokes work on the rod-side area: 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 105.6 N at 0.7 MPa. The 8 mm through-rod resists rotation and side load, gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. Its short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits tight jigs and gantries.
A fixed TPU bumper sits at each end, the hard-anodized aluminium body carries M5x0.8 ports, and the B code gives a male rod thread on S45C hard-chrome rod. Note this model is discontinued; the current-production direct is ACED16X60, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED16X60B (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 ACPD16X60B Is Used
Fixture clamping
The 75.4 N symmetric force clamps small aluminium brackets in a CNC drilling jig, with the through-rod keeping the workpiece loaded from either side.
Pusher on a light conveyor
Mounted with an LB foot, the 60 mm stroke kicks small cartons or blister trays sideways on a packaging line at up to 500 mm/s.
Lab sample handling
The rear rod drives a flag past a switch position while the front rod lifts sample vials about 4 kg equivalent in a compact analyzer head.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X60B with the ACED16X60B
At 75.4 N per side at 0.5 MPa, this 16 mm bore suits light clamping and transfer tasks; step down to the 12 mm bore (42.4 N) for smaller fixtures or up to the 20 mm bore (117.8 N) when more force is needed. The 60 mm stroke sits inside the 75 mm standard range for this bore. Since a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, add a rod lock or pilot check for held loads. FA/FB flange and LB foot mounts bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and CMSE/DMSE switches require the optional -S magnet, which this code omits. For new builds, order ACED16X60 instead.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED16X60B
- ✓ 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 ACPD16X60B FAQ
Yes, force is equal both ways because a rod exits each cover and both strokes use the rod-side area: 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. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the 8 mm rod carries a male thread (B code).
The ACPD family is out of production. The current direct is ACED16X60, the ISO 21287 ACE version with the same 16 mm bore, 60 mm stroke and force class. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before swapping, since the ACP follows the older DIN-standard body.
