This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED25X100, 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 ACPD25X100
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD25X100 is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 100mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED25X100 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD25X100
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD25X100 pushes and pulls with identical output because each stroke works on the rod-side area: 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 288.6 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction. The 25 mm bore drives a 10 mm through-rod over a 100 mm stroke at 30-500 mm/s, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end to soften the travel. Note this model is discontinued; the current-production successor is the ACED25X100.
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, guarding and gantry frames. The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries an S45C hard-chrome rod, and the optional -S magnet code enables CMSE / DMSE switches - without it no magnet is fitted.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED25X100 (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 (Ø25mm)
| Pressure | Force (both ways) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 206 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 289 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 42 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 ACPD25X100 Is Used
Bidirectional push-pull transfer
A through-rod delivering 206.2 N in both directions lets one 25 mm cylinder eject a machined aluminium bracket on the forward stroke and retract the nest with the rear rod, halving the actuator count on a transfer line.
Compact jig clamping
With a body about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, the 100 mm stroke fits inside the 60 mm gap between fixture plates on a welding jig, where a full-length body simply has no room.
Flag-driven stroke verification
On an electronics assembly station, the rear rod carries a flag that trips a CMSE or DMSE switch (requires the optional -S magnet code) to confirm the 100 mm stroke reached the end before the next cycle starts.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD25X100 with the ACED25X100
At 206.2 N per side, this 25 mm unit sits between the 20 mm bore (117.8 N) and the 32 mm bore (345.6 N) at 0.5 MPa - step down for lighter pick-and-place, up if your fixture needs more margin. The 100 mm stroke is within the 150 mm standard limit for this bore, so no made-to-order build is required. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost; add a rod lock or pilot check where a load must stay put. Order the -S code if you want CMSE / DMSE sensing, pick FA/FB flange or LB foot mounting, and confirm the ACED25X100 ISO 21287 dimensions before swapping from this discontinued model.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED25X100
- ✓ 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 ACPD25X100 FAQ
No - because a rod exits both covers, both strokes use the rod-side area and the force is equal both ways: 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 288.6 N at 0.7 MPa. At the full 1.0 MPa rating the cylinder reaches about 42 kgf. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, running on air filtered to 40 um at 30-500 mm/s.
Order the ACED25X100, the current-production ISO 21287 successor: swap the P for an E and you get the same 25 mm bore, 100 mm stroke and force class in a matching short body. Before swapping, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture, since the ACP was built to a DIN-standard footprint. Also note the magnet is only present when the -S code is ordered, so match that option on the replacement if you use CMSE / DMSE switches.
