This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED20X90S, 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 ACPD20X90S
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD20X90S 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 ACED20X90S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD20X90S
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD20X90S 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 drives a 10 mm through-rod over a 90 mm stroke at 30-500 mm/s, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end and a hard-anodized aluminium body carrying an S45C hard-chrome rod. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clipped on for end-of-stroke sensing.
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 where a full-length body cannot. The through-rod also resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, so the rear rod can carry a sensor flag or a second tooling plate. Note this model is discontinued: the current-production direct is the ACED20X90, in the same bore, stroke and force class, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED20X90S (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 ACPD20X90S Is Used
Reciprocating transfer slide
The through-rod drives a small slide both ways with equal 117.8 N force at 0.5 MPa, and the rear rod carries a flag for CMSE switch position feedback.
Compact jig clamping
The short body fits inside tight fixture plates on an electronics assembly jig, pushing about 70 N of usable clamping force at 0.5 MPa.
Pick-and-place verification
With the -S magnet fitted, DMSE switches confirm extend and retract on a bottling-line gate, with the bumper absorbing end-of-stroke shock.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD20X90S with the ACED20X90S
For this 90 mm stroke, bore 20 gives 117.8 N both ways at 0.5 MPa; if the load needs more, bore 25 delivers 206.2 N, and if less force is fine, bore 16 gives 75.4 N. Since a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must be held. FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis mounts bolt to the same face, and the -S magnet on this unit pairs with CMSE / DMSE switches. Order the ACED20X90 as the current replacement.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED20X90S
- ✓ 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 ACPD20X90S FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, force is equal in both directions: 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 164.9 N at 0.7 MPa, each way, 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 a female M6x1.0 rod thread.
The short ISO 21287-class aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with FA/FB flange and LB foot options. The ACPD family is discontinued; the ACED20X90 is the current direct in the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before ordering.
