This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED20X150, 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 ACPD20X150
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD20X150 is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 150mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED20X150 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD20X150
This ACPD20X150 is a double acting compact cylinder with a rod exiting BOTH covers, so push and pull force are identical: 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 164.9 N at 0.7 MPa on either stroke. The 20 mm bore takes a 10 mm through-rod with a female M6x1.0 rod thread and M5x0.8 ports, and the 150 mm stroke exceeds the 100 mm standard limit for this bore, so it is a made-to-order build.
The hard-anodized aluminium body keeps the mounting length about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why this frame suits tight pick-and-place gantries and fixture slides. A fixed TPU bumper sits at both ends, speed runs 30-500 mm/s over 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) of clean filtered air, and the optional -S magnet code enables CMSE / DMSE switches. Note this model is discontinued: the current direct is ACED20X150, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED20X150 (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 ACPD20X150 Is Used
Symmetric fixture clamping
The through-rod lets a nesting fixture for small aluminium brackets be clamped from either side with the same 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa, so one cylinder replaces two opposed singles in a tight jig.
Reciprocating transfer slide
A 150 mm made-to-order stroke shuttles PCB trays between two conveyor lanes on a compact slide, with the back-end rod carrying a sensor flag when the -S magnet code is ordered.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD20X150 with the ACED20X150
At 117.8 N per side at 0.5 MPa, bore 20 sits between the 16 mm (75.4 N) and 25 mm (206.2 N) ACPD frames - step down if your tooling mass is under 5 kg, step up if you need margin above 12 kg of thrust. Because a plain through-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. Match LB foot or FA/FB flange mounts to your fixture, and order the -S code only if you plan to fit CMSE / DMSE switches. For new projects, spec the ACED20X150 instead, as this ACPD version is discontinued.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED20X150
- ✓ 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 ACPD20X150 FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, force is equal on both strokes: 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 164.9 N at 0.7 MPa, with a peak of 24.0 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, air filtered to 40 um, temperature -20 to +70 C. The 150 mm stroke is a non-standard, made-to-order length above the 100 mm standard limit for bore 20.
Order the ACED20X150, the current-production ISO 21287 successor: swap the P for an E and you get the same 20 mm bore, 150 mm stroke class and force rating. The ACPD is a DIN-standard compact body, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions and the FA/FB or LB mounting interface against your fixture before the swap.
