This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED20X80S, 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 ACPD20X80S
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD20X80S is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 80mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED20X80S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD20X80S
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD20X80S 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 M5x0.8 port and a female M6x1.0 rod thread, and the S code means the magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clipped on for end-of-stroke sensing. Note that this model is discontinued; the current-production successor is ACED20X80.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it suits tight jigs, guards and gantries. A fixed TPU bumper sits at both ends, the hard-anodized aluminium body pairs with an S45C hard-chrome rod, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi). Like any plain double-rod cylinder it drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must be held.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED20X80S (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 ACPD20X80S Is Used
Reciprocating test slide
The equal 117.8 N force in both directions drives a small lab test slide back and forth at 30-500 mm/s, with CMSE switches on the fitted magnet confirming each end position.
Fixture clamp and eject
A rear rod on the same piston ejects a finished PCB carrier while the front rod clamps the next one, halving the station length in a compact electronics assembly jig.
Flag-driven position feedback
The back-end rod carries a sensor flag past two DMSE switches, giving PLC-ready extend and retract signals on a packaging machine's gate without extra hardware.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD20X80S with the ACED20X80S
At 117.8 N per side at 0.5 MPa, the 20 mm bore sits between the 16 mm bore (75.4 N) and the 25 mm bore (206.2 N); step up to 25 mm if your fixture needs the extra margin. The 80 mm stroke is within the 100 mm standard limit for this bore, so no made-to-order build is required. The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. FA/FB flange and LB foot mountings bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the fitted -S magnet accepts CMSE / DMSE switches. For new designs, order the ACED20X80 instead and confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED20X80S
- ✓ 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 ACPD20X80S FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, output is equal both ways: 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 164.9 N at 0.7 MPa on each stroke, with a maximum of 24.0 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and speed is 30-500 mm/s. The model is discontinued; the direct successor is ACED20X80.
The S in the model code means the optional -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE reed or DMSE solid-state switches mount directly on the body for position feedback. The fixed TPU bumpers at each end only decelerate the piston near the ends of travel; they do not hold or brake a load, and the piston drifts if air is lost.
