This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED16X90B, 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 ACPD16X90B
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X90B 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 ACED16X90B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X90B
A double acting compact cylinder with a through rod, the ACPD16X90B pushes a 16 mm bore over a 90 mm stroke and delivers 75.4 N in EACH direction at 0.5 MPa (105.6 N at 0.7 MPa), because both strokes work on the rod-side area. The 8 mm rod exits both covers, so the back-end rod can carry a sensor flag or a second tool while resisting rotation and light side load. Its 90 mm stroke is beyond the 75 mm standard limit for this bore, so it is a made-to-order build. This model is discontinued; the current-production direct is ACED16X90.
The hard-anodized aluminium body keeps the mounting length roughly 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which suits tight slides and fixture plates. A fixed TPU bumper pads each end of travel, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi). Note: no magnet is fitted, so position switches cannot be used unless you order the optional -S version.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED16X90B (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 ACPD16X90B Is Used
Reciprocating parts transfer
The through rod lets a small electronics fixture push a PCB carrier forward on one end while the rear rod trips a flag or returns a light gate, with 75.4 N available on both strokes.
Symmetric clamping of small housings
Equal force both ways makes this unit handy for a two-sided clamp on a connector-molding jig, where 45 N of practical holding at 0.5 MPa is enough for light plastic parts.
Test bench actuator with rear rod
On a small valve-leak test rig, the second rod can drive an indicator or a second probe while the front rod actuates the part, all inside a body about half the length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X90B with the ACED16X90B
At 75.4 N per side, this bore sits between the 20 mm (117.8 N) and the 12 mm (42.4 N) double-rod sizes; step up to 20 mm if your jig needs more margin. The B code gives a male rod thread, and the 90 mm stroke is non-standard for bore 16, so expect a made-to-order lead time. If you need position feedback, order the -S variant instead, since this unit has no magnet. For new projects, specify the ACED16X90, the ISO 21287 successor, and confirm its mounting dimensions before swapping.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED16X90B
- ✓ 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 ACPD16X90B FAQ
Yes. Because a rod exits both covers, both strokes use the rod-side area: 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 105.6 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction, with a maximum of 15.4 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Never size this bore by a larger push figure - there is no larger side. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s.
Only if the cylinder was ordered with the optional -S magnet; this ACPD16X90B has no magnet, so CMSE or DMSE switches cannot be mounted on it. The ACPD family is discontinued - the current-production replacement is ACED16X90 (swap the P for an E), a short-body ISO 21287 cylinder in the same bore, stroke and force class. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP was built to a DIN-standard footprint.
