This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED20X60, 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 ACPD20X60
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD20X60 is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 60mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED20X60 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD20X60
Double acting and double rod, the ACPD20X60 pushes a 20 mm piston through a 60 mm stroke with a rod leaving both covers, so the force is identical in each direction: 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 164.9 N at 0.7 MPa on the rod-side area. The through-rod resists rotation and side load, gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. A fixed TPU bumper sits at each end, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into tight jigs and guarding. Note this model is discontinued: the current-production direct is the ACED20X60, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED20X60 (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 ACPD20X60 Is Used
Symmetric press fixture
The through-rod gives 117.8 N in both directions at 0.5 MPa, ideal for a small bench press that must return with the same force it clamps with.
Flag-driven position sensing
Mount a flag on the rear rod of a 60 mm-stroke parts ejector and read it with CMSE / DMSE switches when the optional -S magnet is ordered.
Compact jig clamping
The short body, about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, fits inside tight drill-jig clamping stations where a full-length body will not.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD20X60 with the ACED20X60
For 60 mm of travel with equal push and pull, this 20 mm bore delivers 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa; step down to a 16 mm bore (75.4 N) for lighter clamping or up to a 25 mm bore (206.2 N) for heavier tooling. The piston drifts if air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check for held loads. FA/FB flange and LB foot mounts bolt to the standard face, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches. This model is discontinued - order the ACED20X60 as the current replacement.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED20X60
- ✓ 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 ACPD20X60 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, with a maximum 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, and the port is M5x0.8.
No - this model is discontinued. The current-production direct is the ACED20X60 (swap the P for an E), which matches the same 20 mm bore, 60 mm stroke and force class. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before swapping, since the ACP was built to a DIN-standard footprint.
