This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED16X90, 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 ACPD16X90
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X90 is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 90mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED16X90 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X90
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD16X90 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 takes an 8 mm hard-chrome S45C rod through both ends, and the through-rod resists rotation and light side load while the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. Its 90 mm stroke is longer than the 75 mm standard for this bore, so it is a made-to-order build.
The hard-anodized aluminium body follows the ISO 21287 short format, cutting roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which suits tight jigs and guard-mounted tooling. A fixed TPU bumper sits at each end, and the optional -S magnet lets you fit CMSE or DMSE switches; without -S there is no magnet. This model is discontinued, and the current direct is ACED16X90 - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED16X90 (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 ACPD16X90 Is Used
Small-part ejection from plastic molds
The symmetric 75.4 N output ejects molded clips or bushings from either side of a compact injection fixture, and the 90 mm made-to-order stroke clears deep cavities.
Lab sample pusher in analytical equipment
M5x0.8 ports and a 16 mm bore fit benchtop analyzer trays, where the through-rod keeps the pusher plate square across 90 mm of travel at 30-500 mm/s.
Bi-directional divert on electronics conveyor lines
Equal force both ways lets one cylinder push PCB carriers left or right from a central mount, with the rear rod carrying a flag for CMSE switch position feedback when the -S magnet is ordered.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X90 with the ACED16X90
At 75.4 N per side at 0.5 MPa, this 16 mm bore suits light clamping and small part transfer; drop to the 12 mm bore (42.4 N) for lighter loads or step up to 20 mm (117.8 N) when you need more push. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check for a held load. FA/FB flange and LB foot mountings bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and CMSE/DMSE switches require the optional -S magnet. Since ACPD16X90 is discontinued, order ACED16X90 as the current replacement.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED16X90
- ✓ 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 ACPD16X90 FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, output is equal in both directions: 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 105.6 N at 0.7 MPa either way, with a maximum of 15.4 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, speed 30-500 mm/s, and the bore is 16 mm with an 8 mm rod and M5x0.8 ports.
Bore 16 tops out at 75 mm of standard stroke, so 90 mm is a made-to-order build with a longer lead time. The ACPD family is discontinued; the current-production replacement is ACED16X90 in the same bore, stroke and force class. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP is DIN-standard, and remember the fixed TPU bumpers only decelerate at the ends - they never hold a load.
