This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED16X60S, 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 ACPD16X60S
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X60S 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 ACED16X60S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X60S
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD16X60S pushes and pulls with identical 75.4 N output at 0.5 MPa because both strokes work on the rod-side area of the 16 mm bore. At 0.7 MPa that rises to 105.6 N in each direction, and the through-rod resists rotation and side load while the rear rod stub can carry a sensor flag. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches mount directly on the body.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly half the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why this bore fits tight test fixtures and small pick stations. Note that the ACPD family is discontinued: the current-production direct is ACED16X60, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP was built to a DIN standard. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s, operating pressure 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), with a fixed TPU bumper at each end.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED16X60S (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 ACPD16X60S Is Used
Lab sample pusher
Slides sample trays of about 4 kg into an analyzer at 60 mm stroke, with the rear rod stub carrying a DMSE flag for position feedback.
Small-part ejector
Kicks finished bushings off a CNC arbor; the equal 75.4 N output both ways lets the same cylinder retract under full force.
Gated conveyor diverter
Swings a short gate on a packaging line, with CMSE switches confirming both end positions via the fitted -S magnet.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X60S with the ACED16X60S
For a 60 mm stroke at this force class, bore 16 gives 75.4 N both ways at 0.5 MPa; step down to bore 12 (42.4 N) for lighter clamps or up to bore 20 (117.8 N) when the load grows. The through-rod suits symmetric tooling and guided slides, and the female M4x0.7 rod thread takes standard I/Y knuckles. Remember that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check for a held load. Order the ACED16X60 as the current replacement and verify the ISO 21287 mounting pattern first.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED16X60S
- ✓ 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 ACPD16X60S 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.
The ISO 21287-class short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and this model carries the optional -S magnet so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches mount on the body. It is discontinued; ACED16X60 is the current direct, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before ordering.
