This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED16X80B, 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 ACPD16X80B
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X80B 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 ACED16X80B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X80B
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD16X80B 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 16 mm bore drives an 8 mm through-rod with a male thread (the B code), and the 80 mm stroke is above the 75 mm standard limit for this bore, so it is made to order. The hard-anodized aluminium body keeps the mounting length roughly 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into slim fixtures and guarding.
The through-rod resists rotation and light side load and gives a symmetric mount, so the rear rod can carry a sensor flag or a second tooling plate. Fixed TPU bumpers sit at both ends, speed runs 30-500 mm/s, and pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof. Note this model is discontinued; the current direct is the ISO 21287 ACED16X80, so confirm mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED16X80B (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 ACPD16X80B Is Used
Push-pull slide transfer
The equal 75.4 N output in both directions moves small plastic housings between two stations on an electronics assembly bench without any force imbalance.
Dual-end position flagging
With the optional -S magnet, the rear rod carries a CMSE switch flag so a packaging machine reads end positions from the back rod while the front rod does the work.
Symmetric light clamping
A lab fixture clamps PCB test coupons from both sides at once, using the two male-threaded rod ends as matched clamp points at about 45 N of usable force.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X80B with the ACED16X80B
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 smaller fixtures or up to the 20 mm bore (117.8 N) when parts get heavier. The 80 mm stroke exceeds the 75 mm standard for bore 16, so order it as a made-to-order build. This unit has no magnet, so CMSE or DMSE switches need the -S code instead. It will not hold a load if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check for that. For new projects, spec the ACED16X80.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED16X80B
- ✓ 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 ACPD16X80B FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design gives equal output both ways: 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa, 105.6 N at 0.7 MPa, and 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 range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and speed is 30-500 mm/s.
Bore 16 tops out at 75 mm as a standard stroke, so 80 mm is a made-to-order build with a longer lead time. Also note this model is discontinued: the current-production replacement is the ACED16X80 in the same bore, stroke and force class. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before swapping, since the ACP follows the DIN-standard footprint.
