This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED25X160, 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 ACPD25X160
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD25X160 is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 160mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED25X160 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD25X160
This is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder in the discontinued AirTAC ACPD family: a 25 mm bore with a 160 mm made-to-order stroke, a 10 mm rod exiting both covers, and a hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod. Because a rod sits on each side, output force is EQUAL in both directions - 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 288.6 N at 0.7 MPa on every stroke. The port is M5x0.8 and the rod end carries a female M6x1.0 thread.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into narrow gantries and sliding fixtures. Since the 160 mm stroke exceeds the 150 mm standard limit for this bore, it is built to order. Note this model is discontinued - the current direct is the ACED25X160, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED25X160 (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 ACPD25X160 Is Used
Reciprocating shuttle on a packaging line
The through-rod drives a pusher plate from both ends with equal 206.2 N force, so the return stroke packs cartons as firmly as the advance stroke at 0.5 MPa.
Gantry pick-and-place flag sensing
The rear rod carries a flag past a switch on a 160 mm transfer stroke, while the front rod grips PCB trays in an electronics assembly cell.
Bench fixture for small aluminium brackets
About 12 kg of usable clamping force at 0.5 MPa holds machined brackets square during a drilling op, with the TPU bumper softening each end of travel.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD25X160 with the ACED25X160
At 206.2 N per direction, bore 25 suits light clamping and synchronized push-pull stations; step down to bore 20 (117.8 N) for lighter jigs or up to bore 32 (345.6 N) for heavier presses. The through-rod resists rotation and side load, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. Mounting options include FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot and FTC brackets. Position holding is not built in - the piston drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check for a held load. This ACPD25X160 is discontinued; order the ACED25X160 as the current-production replacement and verify the ISO 21287 footprint. If you need switch positions, the optional -S magnet code enables CMSE / DMSE switches - this model has no magnet fitted.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED25X160
- ✓ 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 ACPD25X160 FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design means both strokes use the rod-side area, so output is 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 288.6 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction. At 1.0 MPa the bore reaches a maximum of 42.0 kgf. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, speed 30-500 mm/s, and air filtered to 40 um.
Yes, 160 mm is a non-standard, made-to-order stroke for this bore and is produced on request. Keep in mind the ACPD25X160 itself is discontinued; the current-production replacement is the ACED25X160 (swap the P for an E), a direct in the same bore, stroke and force class. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP follows a DIN-standard footprint.
