This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED20X100, 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 ACPD20X100
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD20X100 is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 100mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED20X100 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD20X100
This is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder in the discontinued AirTAC ACP DIN-standard series. A 10 mm rod exits both covers, so the piston pushes and pulls with the same 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa (164.9 N at 0.7 MPa) - both strokes work on the rod-side area. The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it fits tight jigs, guards and gantries. The 100 mm stroke is the maximum standard stroke for the 20 mm bore.
The through-rod resists rotation and light side load and gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. A fixed TPU bumper sits at each end. Running range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-500 mm/s, -20 to +70 C. This model is discontinued: the current-production direct is ACED20X100, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. Note there is no magnet fitted - order the optional -S code if you need CMSE / DMSE switches.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED20X100 (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 (Ø20mm)
| Pressure | Force (both ways) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 118 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 165 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 24 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 ACPD20X100 Is Used
Small-parts press station
The 117.8 N rod-side force both ways suits light pressing of connectors or bushings on an electronics assembly bench, with the 100 mm stroke covering the full approach and return.
Position flag carrier
The rear rod of the through-rod design can carry a switch flag, so a packaging machine can confirm end positions with CMSE or DMSE switches when the optional -S magnet is ordered.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD20X100 with the ACED20X100
At 20 mm bore the cylinder delivers 117.8 N both ways at 0.5 MPa. If your load needs less, the 16 mm bore gives 75.4 N; if it needs more, step up to the 25 mm bore at 206.2 N. Remember that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put. Mount with FA/FB flange or LB foot, and order the -S code only if you want the optional magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches. For new projects, specify the ACED20X100 instead - this ACPD version is discontinued.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED20X100
- ✓ 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 ACPD20X100 FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, output is equal in both directions: 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 164.9 N at 0.7 MPa, both ways, on the rod-side area. The maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 24.0 kgf. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s.
No - the ACPD family is discontinued. The current-production direct is ACED20X100 (swap the P for an E), which matches the same 20 mm bore, 100 mm stroke and force class in the ISO 21287 short-body format. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP was built to the DIN standard. FA/FB flange and LB foot mounts carry over, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches.
