This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED16X60SB, 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 ACPD16X60SB
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X60SB 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 ACED16X60SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X60SB
Double acting with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD16X60SB is a DIN-standard compact cylinder whose 16 mm bore delivers 75.4 N in either direction at 0.5 MPa (105.6 N at 0.7 MPa), since both strokes work on the rod-side area. The through rod resists rotation and side load, and its free back end can carry a sensor flag, while fixed TPU bumpers pad both ends of travel. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s over 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) of clean filtered air.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight fixtures, guards and pick stations. Note this model is discontinued: the current-production direct is the ACED16X60, and buyers should confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED16X60SB (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 ACPD16X60SB Is Used
Reciprocating parts transfer
A 60 mm through-rod shuttle carries small electronics housings between two pick nests on an assembly bench, with the back-end rod driving a position flag for the -S magnet and CMSE switches.
Symmetric push-pull press
A light-duty marking or staking station uses the equal 75.4 N output in both directions to seat and then eject a connector pin, no re-plumbing between strokes.
Compact fixture actuation
Inside a CNC gantry guard where a full-length profile cylinder will not fit, the short body actuates a swing clamp arm through the male rod thread with an I-type knuckle.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X60SB with the ACED16X60SB
Pick this 16 mm bore when your job needs 75.4 N both ways at 0.5 MPa and a symmetric through-rod mount; drop to the 12 mm bore (42.4 N) for lighter clamping or step up to the 20 mm bore (117.8 N) if you need more margin. The 60 mm stroke sits inside the 75 mm standard range for this bore, so no made-to-order build is required. This unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount directly; the male rod thread (B code) suits knuckle and external nut attachments. A plain double-rod cylinder will drift if air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check for a held load. For new designs, order the ACED16X60 instead - it is the current ISO 21287 successor in the same bore, stroke and force class.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED16X60SB
- ✓ 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 ACPD16X60SB FAQ
No - because a rod exits both covers, both strokes use the rod-side area, so force is equal both ways: 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 105.6 N at 0.7 MPa. Peak output at 1.0 MPa is about 15.4 kgf. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof rating, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s.
Order the ACED16X60, the current-production ISO 21287 successor: swap the P for an E and you get the same 16 mm bore, 60 mm stroke and force class with a matching short body and mounting family. Since the ACP is DIN-standard, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before swapping.
