This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED25X10SB, 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.

The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD25X10SB is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 10mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED25X10SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.
Double acting with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD25X10SB is a discontinued DIN-standard compact cylinder in the 25 mm bore class. Because each stroke works on the rod-side area, output is equal both ways: 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 288.6 N at 0.7 MPa. The through-rod resists rotation and light side load, gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. A fixed TPU bumper sits at both ends and speeds run 30-500 mm/s.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so a 10 mm stroke like this drops into tight jigs and guarding where a full-length body will not fit. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE switches can be fitted. Production has ended: the current direct is the ISO 21287 ACED25X10, and buyers should confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED25X10SB (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.
| 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).
| ACPD | DIN compact cylinder (double-rod, discontinued). |
|---|---|
| 25 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×10 | Stroke length in mm. |
| S | Optional built-in magnet for sensor position sensing (omit for no magnet). |
| B | Rod type: B = male thread; blank = female thread. |
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).
The 10 mm stroke and 206.2 N through-rod clamp small machined parts in a milling fixture, with the rear rod driving a position flag for the -S magnet and CMSE switch.
Equal 206.2 N force both ways at 0.5 MPa nudges cartons or trays off a packaging line, and the short body fits under low guard rails where a profile cylinder cannot.
A 25 mm bore at 12 kgf equivalent moves sample slides or reagent trays in compact analytical equipment, with the male M6x1.0 rod thread taking a knuckle or tool plate.
At 25 mm bore the 206.2 N (both directions) at 0.5 MPa suits light clamping and part transfer; step down to a 20 mm bore (117.8 N) for smaller loads or up to 32 mm (345.6 N) if you need more force in the same short body. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put. The B code gives a male M6x1.0 rod thread on a 10 mm rod, the -S magnet pairs with CMSE / DMSE switches, and LB foot or FA/FB flange mounts bolt to the standard face. For new projects, order the ACED25X10 instead, since this ACPD version is discontinued.
Replacement checklist
Yes - the double-rod design means both strokes use the rod-side area, so output is equal both ways: 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 288.6 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum of 42.0 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. Note the piston will drift if air is lost, so use a rod lock or pilot check to hold a load.
The ACPD family is no longer in production. The current direct is the ISO 21287 ACED25X10 (swap the P for an E), which matches the same 25 mm bore, 10 mm stroke and force class in a short-body aluminium cylinder. Because the ACP was DIN-standard, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions and your FA/FB flange or LB foot choice before swapping. The -S magnet option carries over, so CMSE / DMSE switches remain available.
