This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED16X75B, 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 ACPD16X75B
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X75B 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 ACED16X75B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X75B
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD16X75B delivers 75.4 N in each direction at 0.5 MPa (105.6 N at 0.7 MPa) because both strokes work on the rod-side area. The 16 mm bore drives an 8 mm hard-chrome S45C rod through a 75 mm stroke, the maximum standard stroke for this bore, at speeds of 30-500 mm/s. Its hard-anodized aluminium body keeps the mounting length about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into slim fixtures where a full-length body will not fit.
The through-rod resists rotation and light side load, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag or a second tooling plate. Fixed TPU bumpers sit at both ends. Plan on roughly 45 N (about 4.6 kg of vertical lift with a margin) as usable working force rather than the full rating. Note this model is discontinued: the current-production direct is the ISO 21287 ACED16X75, so confirm mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED16X75B (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 ACPD16X75B Is Used
Fixture clamping
Clamps small aluminium brackets in a drilling jig, using the 75.4 N double-rod force to press evenly regardless of approach direction.
Push-pull transfer
Slides a 300 mm tray between two conveyor lanes on a packaging line, with the rear rod carrying a flag for a proximity sensor.
Lab slide actuation
Drives a sample holder on a benchtop test rig, where the short ISO 21287-class body fits inside a compact guarding frame.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X75B with the ACED16X75B
At 75.4 N per side, this 16 mm bore suits light clamping and transfer; step down to the 12 mm bore (42.4 N) for tiny assemblies or up to the 20 mm bore (117.8 N) when you need more push. The B code gives a male rod thread (M4x0.7 female is the blank option) and the port is M5x0.8. The cylinder does not hold position when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check for a suspended load. If you need CMSE or DMSE switches, order the -S variant with the optional magnet; this plain code carries no magnet. For new builds, specify the ACED16X75 instead.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED16X75B
- ✓ 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 ACPD16X75B 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, on the rod-side area. At the full 1.0 MPa rating the peak is 15.4 kgf. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure.
No, it is discontinued. The current-production replacement is the ISO 21287 ACED16X75, which matches the same 16 mm bore, 75 mm stroke and force class. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP follows the DIN-standard footprint.
