This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED16X80, 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 ACPD16X80
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X80 is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 80mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED16X80 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X80
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD16X80 pushes and pulls with identical output: 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 16 mm bore drives an 8 mm through-rod, and the 80 mm stroke is a made-to-order length since the standard catalogue tops out at 75 mm for this bore. Note that this model is discontinued; the current-production successor is the ACED16X80, which swaps the P for an E in the same force class.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into narrow fixtures, sliding gates and test rigs where a full-length body will not reach. The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag on a fixture. A fixed TPU bumper pads each end of travel, and the body is hard-anodized aluminium with an S45C hard-chrome rod.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED16X80 (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 ACPD16X80 Is Used
Reciprocating small parts carrier
The through-rod carries a workpiece tray on both ends of a 80 mm shuttle stroke on an electronics assembly bench, giving 75.4 N of balanced push and pull at 0.5 MPa.
Gated inspection station with flag detection
The rear rod of the 8 mm through-rod drives a flag past a switch position on a vision-check fixture, while the front rod actuates the gate; order the -S magnet to enable CMSE or DMSE switching.
Light press-fit of connector pins
A bench-top jig uses the symmetric double-rod output to seat plastic connector pins, where equal force both ways keeps the part from shifting during the 80 mm approach.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X80 with the ACED16X80
Size around the 75.4 N figure at 0.5 MPa: if your gate or clamp needs more, step up to the 20 mm bore (117.8 N) or the 25 mm bore (206.2 N); if less, the 12 mm bore delivers 42.4 N. Remember the 80 mm stroke is non-standard for this bore and is built to order. Like any plain double-rod cylinder it will not hold a load when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check where position must be kept. Order the -S code if you want the optional magnet for CMSE or DMSE switches; without it no sensor can be fitted. For new projects, specify the ACED16X80 and confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED16X80
- ✓ 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 ACPD16X80 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, with a maximum of 15.4 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Both strokes use the rod-side area, so there is no push-versus-pull difference. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed range 30-500 mm/s.
Yes. The standard stroke limit for bore 16 is 75 mm, so 80 mm is a made-to-order length that AirTAC produces on request. The ACPD family itself is discontinued; the current direct is the ACED16X80 in the same bore, stroke and force class. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP follows the DIN-standard footprint.
