This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED20X175, 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 ACPD20X175
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD20X175 is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 175mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED20X175 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD20X175
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD20X175 pushes and pulls with identical force because each stroke works on the rod-side area: 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 164.9 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction. The 20 mm bore carries a 10 mm rod, an M5x08-style M5x0.8 port and an M6x1.0 female rod thread, and the 175 mm stroke is a made-to-order length since the standard maximum for this bore is 100 mm.
The through-rod resists rotation and light side load and gives a symmetric mount, so the rear rod can carry a sensor flag or a second tooling plate. Its short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which suits tight jigs and guarding. This model is discontinued; the current-production direct is the ACED20X175, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED20X175 (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 ACPD20X175 Is Used
Reciprocating transfer slide
The equal 117.8 N force in both directions keeps a small parts-carrying slide on a PCB assembly line moving at identical speed and force each way, with the rear rod driving a position flag.
Fixture clamping from one side
A fixture builder uses the front rod to clamp a machined aluminium bracket while the back rod carries an indicator, all inside the 175 mm made-to-order stroke envelope.
Lab test actuator
A materials test rig uses the symmetric through-rod to push and pull a small specimen holder with matched 164.9 N force at 0.7 MPa, keeping the load train centered.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD20X175 with the ACED20X175
Size up to the 25 mm bore (206.2 N at 0.5 MPa) if the load grows, or down to the 16 mm bore (75.4 N) for lighter duty. Note that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check for a held load. FA/FB flange or LB foot mounting bolts to the standard face, and CMSE or DMSE switches work only when the optional -S magnet is ordered. Order the ACED20X175 as the current replacement.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED20X175
- ✓ 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 ACPD20X175 FAQ
Yes. Because a rod exits both covers, both strokes use the rod-side area: 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 164.9 N at 0.7 MPa either way, with a maximum of 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, temperature -20 to +70 C, air filtered to 40 um. The 175 mm stroke is non-standard (bore 20 standard max is 100 mm) and made to order.
It is a compact short-body cylinder with a hard-anodized aluminium body, S45C hard-chrome rod, M5x0.8 ports, M6x1.0 female rod thread and a fixed TPU bumper at each end that only decelerates at the ends of travel. The body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. It is discontinued; the current direct is the ACED20X175, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before ordering.
