This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED25X160B, 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 ACPD25X160B
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD25X160B 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 ACED25X160B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD25X160B
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD25X160B pushes and pulls with identical force: 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 288.6 N at 0.7 MPa in each direction, because both strokes work on the rod-side area. The through-rod resists rotation and light side load, gives a symmetric mounting point, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. Its 160 mm stroke is beyond the 150 mm standard limit for a 25 mm bore, so it is a made-to-order build.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod keeps the short ISO 21287-class footprint, saving roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder - useful in tight jigs and gantries. Note this model is discontinued: the current direct is ACED25X160, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. Fixed TPU bumpers sit at both ends.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED25X160B (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 ACPD25X160B Is Used
Reciprocating parts transfer
The through-rod drives a sliding carrier on a small assembly line fixture, delivering 206.2 N in each direction at 0.5 MPa so the return stroke carries the same load as the advance.
Symmetric clamp fixture
A machining jig uses the male rod thread (B code) on both ends to grip a workpiece from either side, with the 160 mm made-to-order stroke clearing a deep part pocket.
Sensor-flag test rig
The rear rod carries a flag past a switch on a leak-test station; order the -S magnet version for CMSE / DMSE switches, since this standard code ships without a magnet.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD25X160B with the ACED25X160B
At 206.2 N per side at 0.5 MPa, this 25 mm double-rod unit suits balanced push-pull tasks; step down to a 20 mm bore (117.8 N) for lighter clamps or up to 32 mm (345.6 N) for heavier fixtures. The piston drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put. FA/FB flange or LB foot mounts bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches - this code has no magnet fitted. As the ACPD line is discontinued, order ACED25X160 as the current equivalent.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED25X160B
- ✓ 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 ACPD25X160B FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design means both strokes use the rod-side area, so force 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 160 mm stroke is a non-standard, made-to-order length above the 150 mm standard limit for this bore.
The ACPD family is out of production. The current direct is ACED25X160 (swap the P for an E), an ISO 21287 compact cylinder in the same 25 mm bore, 160 mm stroke and force class with a matching mounting family. Because the ACP is DIN-standard, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before swapping, and add the -S code if you need the magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches.
