This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED25X160SB, 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 ACPD25X160SB
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD25X160SB 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 ACED25X160SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD25X160SB
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD25X160SB pushes and pulls with identical force because each stroke works on the rod-side area: 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 288.6 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction. The 160 mm stroke is longer than the 150 mm standard limit for a 25 mm bore, so it is a made-to-order build. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clamped to the body for position feedback.
The short ISO 21287-class body cuts roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it suits tight jigs and guarding where a full-length body cannot fit. The through-rod resists rotation and side load and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag, while fixed TPU bumpers pad both ends. Note: the ACPD family 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 ACED25X160SB (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 ACPD25X160SB Is Used
Reciprocating transfer slide
The through-rod gives a symmetric mount on a pick-and-place slide, with equal 206.2 N force accelerating the carriage in both directions at up to 500 mm/s.
Flag-triggered inspection station
With the -S magnet fitted, CMSE or DMSE switches on the body trip a vision check or reject gate at both ends of the 160 mm travel.
Compact jig clamping fixture
The short body, about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, fits inside machine-tool fixture plates where rod length is fixed by the jig.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD25X160SB with the ACED25X160SB
At 206.2 N per side at 0.5 MPa this 25 mm bore sits between the 20 mm (117.8 N) and 32 mm (345.6 N) double-rod sizes - step up to 32 mm if your part weight or friction load approaches the 123 N usable figure. The piston drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put. Male rod thread (B code) takes I/Y knuckles, and FA/FB flange or LB foot mounts bolt to the face. If a standard 150 mm stroke works, the ACED25X160 in current production is the direct successor.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED25X160SB
- ✓ 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 ACPD25X160SB FAQ
No - 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, air filtered to 40 um, temperature -20 to +70 C.
No. The maximum standard stroke for a 25 mm bore is 150 mm, so 160 mm is a made-to-order build. The ACPD family is discontinued; the current-production replacement is the ACED25X160 (swap the P for an E), which matches the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before ordering.
