This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED16X80SB, 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 ACPD16X80SB
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X80SB 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 ACED16X80SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X80SB
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD16X80SB delivers the same 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa (105.6 N at 0.7 MPa) on every stroke because both sides work on the rod-side area. The 8 mm through-rod resists rotation and light side load, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. Its 80 mm stroke is longer than the 75 mm standard limit for a 16 mm bore, so it is a made-to-order build. Note this model is discontinued; the current-production successor is ACED16X80, same bore, stroke and force class.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with S45C hard-chrome rod follows the ISO 21287 short format, saving about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder - useful in slim gantries and fixture plates. This -S version carries the optional magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches mount directly on the body. The B code gives a male M4x0.7 rod thread.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED16X80SB (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 ACPD16X80SB Is Used
Lab sample pusher
The symmetric 75.4 N output and 80 mm travel shuttle sample trays between test stations, with the rear rod driving a CMSE switch flag for position feedback.
Packaging diverter blade
Equal force in both directions flips small cartons between conveyor lanes at 30-500 mm/s, with the through-rod keeping the blade square.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X80SB with the ACED16X80SB
At 75.4 N per side, this 16 mm unit suits light clamping and positioning; step down to a 12 mm bore (42.4 N) for tiny fixtures or up to 20 mm (117.8 N) when the load grows. Because it is a plain double-rod cylinder, the piston drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put. The 80 mm stroke exceeds the 75 mm standard for this bore, so order it as a non-standard build. For new designs, specify ACED16X80 instead and confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED16X80SB
- ✓ 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 ACPD16X80SB FAQ
Being a double-rod cylinder, force is identical 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. 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 port is M5x0.8. The 80 mm stroke is a made-to-order length above the 75 mm standard for this bore.
The hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome rod follow the ISO 21287 short format, roughly 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with fixed TPU bumpers at both ends. This -S code includes the magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches, and the B code gives a male rod thread. The model is discontinued - order ACED16X80 and confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions.
