This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED16X70SB, 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 ACPD16X70SB
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X70SB is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 70mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED16X70SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X70SB
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod through both covers, the ACPD16X70SB pushes and pulls with identical output because each stroke works on the rod-side area: 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 105.6 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction. The male rod thread (B code) on both ends, the optional -S magnet carried by this model, and the fixed TPU bumper at each cover make it a tidy actuator for small symmetric tooling. It runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof tested to 1.5 MPa (215 psi), from -20 to +70 C at 30-500 mm/s.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into slim fixtures and guarding where a full-length body cannot. Because the through-rod exits the rear cover too, it resists rotation and side load and can carry a sensor flag at the back. Note that this model is discontinued: the current direct is the ACED16X70, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED16X70SB (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 ACPD16X70SB Is Used
Reciprocating test slides
The through-rod gives equal 75.4 N drive in both directions, ideal for a bench-top leak or vision test slide that must stroke a 70 mm path at identical speed each way.
Pick-and-check gripper arms
With the -S magnet fitted, CMSE or DMSE switches confirm end positions on a small electronics pick arm, while the rear rod carries a flag for a second sensor point.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X70SB with the ACED16X70SB
At 75.4 N per side at 0.5 MPa this 16 mm bore suits light clamping and positioning; step down to the 12 mm bore (42.4 N) for smaller parts or up to 20 mm (117.8 N) when you need more margin. The 70 mm stroke sits inside the 75 mm standard limit for this bore, so no made-to-order build is required. A plain double-rod cylinder will drift if air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check for a held load. This unit already carries the -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches and a male rod thread; FA/FB flange or LB foot brackets bolt to the ISO 21287 face. For new projects order the ACED16X70, the current replacement.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED16X70SB
- ✓ 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 ACPD16X70SB FAQ
Yes. Because a rod exits both covers, both strokes use the rod-side area, so force is equal either way: 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 105.6 N at 0.7 MPa. The maximum rating for this 16 mm bore is 15.4 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
Order the ACED16X70, the current ISO 21287 production model that swaps the P for an E and matches the same 16 mm bore, 70 mm stroke and force class. Before swapping, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture, since the ACP was built to a DIN-standard footprint, and verify FA/FB flange or LB foot bracket fit.
