This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED16X75S, 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 ACPD16X75S 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 ACED16X75S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.
Double acting with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD16X75S pushes and pulls with identical force 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 8 mm through-rod resists rotation and side load, and the rear rod end can carry a sensor flag while the front does the work. 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 cuts roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it suits tight jigs and guarding where a full-length body will not fit. Note that this ACPD is discontinued: the current-production direct is ACED16X75, and you should confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED16X75S (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 75.4 N symmetric grip and short body let the through-rod clamp a small aluminium bracket from both sides inside a compact machining jig.
With the -S magnet fitted, CMSE or DMSE switches track end positions on a 75 mm slide that shuttles vials between two test stations at 30-500 mm/s.
The rear rod doubles as a guide or flag mount while the front rod nudges about 3.8 kg cartons off a conveyor lane at 0.5 MPa.
For light clamping or transfer work in the 75 N class at 0.5 MPa, the 16 mm bore with a 75 mm stroke sits at the top of its standard range (max standard stroke 75 mm). If the load needs more muscle, the 20 mm bore delivers 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa; for lighter duty, the 12 mm bore gives 42.4 N. The female M4x0.7 rod thread takes I/Y knuckles, and FA/FB flange or LB foot mounts bolt to the ISO 21287 face. 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 ACED16X75 as the current replacement.
Replacement checklist
Yes. Because a rod exits both covers, both strokes use the rod-side area: 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 105.6 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction, with a maximum of 15.4 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the bore takes an M5x0.8 port.
The hard-anodized aluminium body follows the short ISO 21287-class format, saving about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with fixed TPU bumpers at both ends and FA/FB or LB mounting options. The ACPD family is discontinued; ACED16X75 is the current direct in the same bore, stroke and force class, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before ordering.
