This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED16X90SB, 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 ACPD16X90SB
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X90SB 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 ACED16X90SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X90SB
This is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder in the AirTAC ACP DIN-standard series: a rod exits both covers of the 16 mm bore body, so the piston pushes and pulls with the same 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa (105.6 N at 0.7 MPa) in either direction. The 90 mm stroke is beyond the 75 mm standard limit for bore 16, so it is a made-to-order build. The male rod thread (B code) bolts straight to tooling, and the through-rod resists rotation and light side load while giving a symmetric mount at both ends.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod runs at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-500 mm/s, and -20 to +70 C, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end. Because the short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, it slots into tight pick-and-place gantries. Note: this model is discontinued - the current direct is ACED16X90, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED16X90SB (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 ACPD16X90SB Is Used
Bidirectional slide transfer
The through-rod drives a small linear slide from either cover, so a 75.4 N push and an identical 75.4 N return let one valve circuit index PCB trays between two conveyor lanes without a return spring.
Position-flagged test fixture
With the -S magnet this 90 mm stroke carries CMSE or DMSE switches at both ends, and the back-end rod can hold a sensor flag - useful in an electronics fixture where the stroke exceeds the standard 75 mm.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD16X90SB with the ACED16X90SB
At 75.4 N per direction, bore 16 sits between bore 12 (42.4 N) and bore 20 (117.8 N) at 0.5 MPa - step down for light gating, up for heavier clamping. The 90 mm stroke is non-standard for this bore and is built to order. This unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE switches can be fitted for end-of-stroke sensing; the male rod thread suits knuckle or tooling studs. A plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check for held loads. For new projects, order the current-production ACED16X90 instead.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED16X90SB
- ✓ 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 ACPD16X90SB FAQ
Yes - it is a double-rod cylinder, so both strokes use the rod-side area: 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. The 90 mm stroke is a made-to-order length (standard tops out at 75 mm for bore 16). It runs on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) air filtered to 40 um at 30-500 mm/s.
This unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE reed or DMSE solid-state switches mount on the body for end-of-stroke detection. The ACPD family is discontinued; the current-production replacement is ACED16X90 (swap the P for an E), a direct in the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP is DIN-standard.
