This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED16X75SB, 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 ACPD16X75SB
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X75SB 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 ACED16X75SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X75SB
Double acting with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD16X75SB pushes and pulls with identical force: 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 105.6 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction, because both strokes work on the rod-side area. The 8 mm through-rod resists rotation and side load, gives a symmetric mounting face, and leaves the rear rod free for a sensor flag. This unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clipped straight onto the barrel.
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 fixtures and guarded stations. A fixed TPU bumper sits at each end, speed runs 30-500 mm/s, and pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi). Note that this model is discontinued: the current-production replacement is ACED16X75, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before ordering.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED16X75SB (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 ACPD16X75SB Is Used
Small-parts ejector on assembly fixtures
The symmetric 75.4 N output in both directions ejects connectors or bushings from a nest and retracts with equal authority, while the 75 mm stroke clears the part in a tight fixture footprint.
Position-flagged slide in a test station
With the -S magnet fitted, CMSE or DMSE switches read both end positions on the 8 mm through-rod, and the rear rod can carry a mechanical flag for vision inspection of PCB trays.
Product pusher on a narrow conveyor line
The short body, about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, slots between conveyor frames to divert cartons or blister packs, with the fixed TPU bumper softening each end stop.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X75SB with the ACED16X75SB
At 75.4 N per side, bore 16 covers light clamping and part transfer; step down to bore 12 (42.4 N) for tiny fixtures or up to bore 20 (117.8 N) when a heavier push is needed. Both directions deliver the same force, so no derating is needed on the return stroke. The male rod thread (B code) takes standard rod knuckles, and FA/FB flange or LB foot mounts bolt to the compact face. If the -S magnet is ordered, CMSE / DMSE switches give end-of-stroke signals; without it there is no magnet. 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 direct.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED16X75SB
- ✓ 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 ACPD16X75SB FAQ
No, the two forces are identical because a rod exits both covers and both strokes use the rod-side area. At 0.5 MPa you get 75.4 N in each direction, at 0.7 MPa 105.6 N each way, and the maximum at 1.0 MPa is 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 spans 30-500 mm/s.
The ACPD family is out of production. The current direct is ACED16X75, the ISO 21287 successor with the same 16 mm bore, 75 mm stroke and force class. Before swapping, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture, since the ACP series was built to a DIN-standard compact pattern. Keep the B code if you need the male rod thread, and add -S again if your CMSE / DMSE switches need the magnet.
