This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED16X75, 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.

The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X75 is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 75mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED16X75 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.
This double acting compact cylinder carries a rod through both covers, so the 16 mm bore delivers the same 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa (105.6 N at 0.7 MPa) on every stroke, since both sides work on the rod-side area. The 8 mm through-rod resists rotation and light side load, and the free rear rod is a handy anchor for a sensor flag on a fixture.
The short ISO 21287-class body cuts roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it suits slim guarding and small jig plates. A fixed TPU bumper sits at each end, the hard-anodized aluminium body pairs with an S45C hard-chrome rod, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi). Note: this model is discontinued; the current direct is ACED16X75. In practice, plan on about 45 N (roughly 4.6 kg vertical) of usable push at 0.5 MPa rather than the full rating.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED16X75 (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.
| 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).
| ACPD | DIN compact cylinder (double-rod, discontinued). |
|---|---|
| 16 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×75 | Stroke length in mm. |
| S | Optional built-in magnet for sensor position sensing (omit for no magnet). |
| B | Rod type: B = male thread; blank = female thread. |
Replacement mapping (swap P for E): ACP→ACE, ASP→ASE, ATP→ATE, ACPD→ACED, ACPJ→ACEJ. ACP-family: ACP (double acting), ASP / ATP (single acting push / pull), ACPD (double rod), ACPJ (double rod, adjustable stroke).
The symmetric 75.4 N push and pull clamps a machined aluminium bracket from either side on a compact drilling fixture, with the rear rod carrying a position flag.
With the optional -S magnet, a CMSE or DMSE switch confirms a connector housing is seated before a screwdriver station cycles.
Equal force in both directions lets the through-rod push small cartons off a conveyor lane and retract with the same authority, at 30-500 mm/s.
At 75.4 N per side, this 16 mm unit handles light clamping and part-present sensing; step down to a 12 mm bore (42.4 N) for tighter force budgets, or up to 20 mm (117.8 N) when a small part needs more grip. The 75 mm stroke is the maximum standard stroke for this bore. Rod end is female M4x0.7 and the port is M5x0.8 PT. No magnet is fitted on this code, so CMSE or DMSE switches cannot be used unless you order the optional -S version. For a held load after air loss, add a rod lock or pilot check, since the piston will drift. Order ACED16X75 as the current replacement and confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
Replacement checklist
Because a rod exits both covers, force is equal both ways: 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 105.6 N at 0.7 MPa on every stroke, using the rod-side area. At 1.0 MPa the maximum is 15.4 kgf. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with FA/FB flange or LB foot mounting and a fixed TPU bumper at each end. The ACPD family is discontinued; order ACED16X75, the current direct in the same bore, stroke and force class, and confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before the swap.
