This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED20X10SB, 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 ACPD20X10SB
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD20X10SB is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 10mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED20X10SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD20X10SB
Double acting with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD20X10SB pushes with the same 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa (164.9 N at 0.7 MPa) whichever way it moves, because both strokes work on the rod-side area. The 10 mm through-rod resists rotation and light side load, gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. A fixed TPU bumper sits at each end, and the male rod thread (B code) suits external nuts and knuckles.
The hard-anodized aluminium body follows the short ISO 21287 format, cutting roughly 50% of the mounting length compared with an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight fixtures and guarding. The -S magnet this model carries lets CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches report position. Note the ACPD range is discontinued: the current-production direct is ACED20X10, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before you swap.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED20X10SB (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 ACPD20X10SB Is Used
Fixture clamping on CNC pallets
The 117.8 N both-way force and short 10 mm stroke clamp small jigs in the confined space beside a machining centre pallet, where a full-length cylinder would foul the fixture.
Position-flagged ejector in assembly cells
The rear rod carries a sensor flag while the front rod ejects a connector housing, and the fitted -S magnet feeds CMSE or DMSE switches back to the PLC.
Product pusher on packaging lines
Symmetric push and pull around 70 N of usable work nudges cartons between conveyor guides at up to 500 mm/s, with the through-rod keeping the pusher plate square.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD20X10SB with the ACED20X10SB
For a 10 mm stroke with equal force both directions, bore 20 delivers 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa; step down to bore 16 (75.4 N) for lighter tooling or up to bore 25 (206.2 N) if the load grows. The piston will drift if air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check where a held position matters. FA/FB flange or LB foot mounts bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the fitted -S magnet accepts CMSE / DMSE switches. Order ACED20X10 as the current replacement and verify mounting dimensions.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED20X10SB
- ✓ 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 ACPD20X10SB FAQ
It is a double-rod cylinder, so output is identical both ways: 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 164.9 N at 0.7 MPa, equal to a maximum of 24.0 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Both strokes use the rod-side area because a 10 mm rod exits each cover. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, speed 30-500 mm/s, and the port is M5x0.8.
The current-production successor is ACED20X10, the ISO 21287 ACE series version with the same 20 mm bore, 10 mm stroke and force class. Because the ACP is DIN-standard, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. The male rod thread, M5x0.8 port and FA/FB or LB mounting options carry over, and the -S magnet code still enables CMSE / DMSE switches.
