This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED25X15, 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 ACPD25X15 is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 15mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED25X15 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD25X15 pushes and pulls with identical output: 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 288.6 N at 0.7 MPa in each direction, since both strokes work on the rod-side area. The through-rod resists rotation and side load, gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. A fixed TPU bumper sits at each end, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s over 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) of clean air filtered to 40 um.
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. Note this model is discontinued: the current-production direct is the ACED25X15, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED25X15 (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. |
| ×15 | 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 206.2 N symmetric thrust caps and ejects on the same stroke in a small beverage-line fixture, with the 15 mm travel matching shallow cap seats.
Inside a cramped in-circuit test nest, the short body fits where a profile cylinder cannot, and the through-rod keeps the clamp pad square under side load.
On a sorting gate, the rear rod carries a flag past a CMSE or DMSE switch (when the -S magnet is ordered) to confirm gate position without extra hardware.
For 15 mm moves needing equal force both ways, bore 25 delivers 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa; step down to bore 20 (117.8 N) for lighter clamping or up to bore 32 (345.6 N) for heavier tooling. The 15 mm stroke sits well inside the 150 mm standard range for this bore. This unit has a female M6x1.0 rod thread and PT ports, with FA/FB flange or LB foot mounting; remember a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put. If you need position feedback, order the -S variant to enable CMSE / DMSE switches - without -S there is no magnet. Since ACPD is discontinued, specify the ACED25X15 as the current replacement.
Replacement checklist
Because a rod exits both covers, force is equal in both directions: 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 288.6 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum of 42 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Both strokes use the rod-side area, so push never exceeds pull. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
The hard-anodized aluminium body follows the short ISO 21287-class format, saving about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with FA/FB flange or LB foot options and a fixed TPU bumper at each end. The ACPD family is discontinued; the ACED25X15 is the current-production direct in the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before you swap.
