This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED20X90, 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 ACPD20X90
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD20X90 is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 90mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED20X90 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD20X90
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD20X90 delivers the same 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa (164.9 N at 0.7 MPa) on every stroke, since both sides work on the rod-side area. The through-rod resists rotation and side load, gives a symmetric mounting point, and lets the rear rod carry a sensor flag, while fixed TPU bumpers pad both ends. It runs at 30-500 mm/s on air filtered to 40 um, at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
The hard-anodized aluminium body follows the ISO 21287 short format, saving about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight fixtures and guarding. Note this model is discontinued: the current-production direct is the ACED20X90, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before ordering.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED20X90 (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).

Replacement mapping (swap P for E): ACP→ACE, ASP→ASE, ATP→ATE, ACPD→ACED, ACPJ→ACEJ. ACP-family: ACP (double acting), ASP / ATP (single acting push / pull), ACPD (double rod), ACPJ (double rod, adjustable stroke).
Where the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD20X90 Is Used
Reciprocating test fixture
The through-rod drives a small electronics test head forward and back with identical 117.8 N force each way, so clamping and release pressures stay matched at 0.5 MPa.
Two-position part transfer
A 90 mm stroke shuttles connector housings between an assembly nest and an inspection camera on a benchtop cell, with the rear rod available for a position flag.
Compact ejection station
Mounted under a small plastic molding fixture, the symmetric rod pushes finished caps off a nest inside guarding too short for an ISO 15552 profile cylinder.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD20X90 with the ACED20X90
At 117.8 N per side, the 20 mm bore sits between the 16 mm (75.4 N) and 25 mm (206.2 N) options at 0.5 MPa - step up only if the 25 mm body length still fits. The 90 mm stroke is within the 100 mm standard range for this bore. Remember 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 and LB foot mountings bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and CMSE / DMSE switches need the optional -S magnet code, which this model does not carry. Order the ACED20X90 as the current replacement.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED20X90
- ✓ 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 ACPD20X90 FAQ
Yes - because a rod exits both covers, both strokes use the rod-side area. The figures are 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 164.9 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction, 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 with an M6x1.0 female rod thread.
The hard-anodized aluminium body follows the ISO 21287 short format, cutting about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with FA/FB flange and LB foot options. The ACPD family is no longer in production: order the ACED20X90, the current direct in the same bore, stroke and force class, and confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
