This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED20X100S, 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 ACPD20X100S
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD20X100S 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 ACED20X100S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD20X100S
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod exiting both covers, the ACPD20X100S delivers 117.8 N in each direction at 0.5 MPa because both strokes work on the rod-side area. The 20 mm bore carries a 10 mm through-rod with a female M6x1.0 thread, an M5x0.8 port, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end. Its hard-anodized aluminium body keeps the mounting length roughly 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight fixtures and guarding.
The S code means the optional -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clipped on for end-of-stroke signals, and the rear rod can even carry a sensor flag. Note that this model is discontinued: the current-production direct is the ISO 21287 ACED20X100, so confirm mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED20X100S (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 ACPD20X100S Is Used
Bidirectional pusher on a packaging line
The equal 117.8 N output in both directions lets one cylinder push cartons into a lane and retract with the same force, with the rear rod carrying a vane or flag for a DMSE switch when the -S magnet is fitted.
Compact fixture clamp in a machining cell
With a body about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, the 20 mm bore fits inside tight jig walls, delivering about 70 N of practical clamping force at 0.5 MPa on aluminium brackets.
Position-signalled slide on a small assembly station
The fitted -S magnet allows CMSE reed or solid-state switches at both ends of the 100 mm stroke, confirming part presence on a screw-driving or pressing station running at 30-500 mm/s.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD20X100S with the ACED20X100S
At 117.8 N per side at 0.5 MPa, this 20 mm bore suits light clamping and transfer work; step down to the 16 mm bore (75.4 N) for smaller loads or up to the 25 mm bore (206.2 N) when more force is needed. The 100 mm stroke is the maximum standard stroke for this bore, so no made-to-order build is required. The through-rod resists rotation and light side load and gives a symmetric mounting point at both ends. 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. Choose the ACED20X100 as your current-production alternative and verify the ISO 21287 mounting footprint first.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED20X100S
- ✓ 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 ACPD20X100S FAQ
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, output is equal both ways: 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 164.9 N at 0.7 MPa, in each direction, on the rod-side area. At 1.0 MPa the bore reaches a maximum of 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.
The ACPD family is no longer in production. The current direct is the ISO 21287 ACED20X100 - swap the P for an E - which matches the same 20 mm bore, 100 mm stroke and force class. Since the ACP is a DIN-standard compact build, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions and the FA/FB flange or LB foot interfaces before ordering. This unit carries the optional -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches.
