This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED20X100SB, 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 ACPD20X100SB
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD20X100SB 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 ACED20X100SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD20X100SB
Double acting with a rod leaving both covers, the discontinued ACPD20X100SB pushes and pulls with the same 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa (164.9 N at 0.7 MPa), because each stroke works on the rod-side area of the 20 mm bore. The male-threaded 10 mm through-rod resists rotation and side load, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag, while fixed TPU bumpers pad both ends of the 100 mm travel. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount directly on the body.
The hard-anodized aluminium short body follows the DIN-standard compact format and saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it suits tight jigs, guards and gantries. Run it on air filtered to 40 um at 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 in the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED20X100SB (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 ACPD20X100SB Is Used
Push-pull parts transfer
The 100 mm through-rod moves small housings between two nests on an electronics assembly line, delivering 117.8 N in each direction so the return stroke needs no separate cylinder.
Position-flagged gate on a packaging line
The rear rod carries a flag past a CMSE switch (enabled by the fitted -S magnet), confirming gate open and closed on a blister-carton machine running at 30-500 mm/s.
Compact jig ejector
With about 50% shorter body than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, the 20 mm bore ejects finished bushings from a drilling jig where a full-length body cannot fit.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD20X100SB with the ACED20X100SB
At 117.8 N both ways at 0.5 MPa, this 20 mm bore suits light clamping and synchronized push-pull stations; step down to the 16 mm bore (75.4 N) for smaller fixtures or up to the 25 mm bore (206.2 N) when parts weigh more. The through-rod gives a symmetric mount and the rear rod accepts a flag for the fitted -S magnet with CMSE / DMSE switches. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check where a load must stay held. Order the ACED20X100 as the current replacement and verify ISO 21287 mounting dimensions.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED20X100SB
- ✓ 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 ACPD20X100SB FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, force is equal both ways: 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 164.9 N at 0.7 MPa on the rod-side area of the 20 mm bore, peaking at 24.0 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, port M5x0.8, male rod thread M6x1.0 on the 10 mm rod, and the maximum standard stroke for this bore is 100 mm.
No - the ACPD family is discontinued. The current-production direct is ACED20X100, the ISO 21287 ACE double-rod version in the same bore, stroke and force class. Before swapping, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions, since the ACP was built to the older DIN-standard compact format; FA/FB flange and LB foot options carry over in the ACE family.
