This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED25X15SB, 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 ACPD25X15SB
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD25X15SB 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 ACED25X15SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD25X15SB
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD25X15SB pushes and pulls with identical force because both strokes work on the rod-side area: 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 288.6 N at 0.7 MPa. The 10 mm through-rod resists rotation and light side load, gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. This unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clipped on for end-of-stroke signals.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with S45C hard-chrome rod saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why this 15 mm stroke size suits tight jigs and guarding. A fixed TPU bumper sits at each end, speed runs 30-500 mm/s, and pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi). Note that the ACPD line is discontinued: the current-production direct is the ISO 21287 ACED25X15, so confirm mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED25X15SB (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 ACPD25X15SB Is Used
Fixture clamping on a CNC jig
The symmetric 206.2 N clamp in both directions and short 15 mm stroke let the through-rod clamp a machined aluminium bracket from either side inside a cramped fixture plate.
Bidirectional part diverter
Equal force both ways makes the double rod ideal for a packaging line gate that must push cartons left or right with identical response at 30-500 mm/s.
Sensor-flagged test station
With the -S magnet fitted, CMSE or DMSE switches on both ends confirm retract and extend on an electronics leak-test rig, while the rear rod carries a position flag.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD25X15SB with the ACED25X15SB
At 206.2 N per side, the 25 mm bore sits between the 20 mm (117.8 N) and 32 mm (345.6 N) double-rod sizes at 0.5 MPa; step up to 32 mm if your tooling needs more grip, or down to 20 mm for lighter pick-and-place. The 15 mm stroke is well inside the 150 mm maximum standard stroke 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, LB foot and clevis options bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the male rod thread (B code) plus the fitted -S magnet for CMSE/DMSE switches are already on this model. Order the ACED25X15 as the current replacement.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED25X15SB
- ✓ 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 ACPD25X15SB FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, force is equal in extend and retract: 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 288.6 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction. At the full 1.0 MPa the bore reaches about 42 kgf. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof limit, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s.
The hard-anodized aluminium body is an ISO 21287-class short build, saving roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with FA/FB flange, LB foot and clevis brackets plus a fixed TPU bumper at each end. The ACPD family is discontinued; the current direct is the ACED25X15 in the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before you swap.
