This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED25X25, 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 ACPD25X25 is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 25mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED25X25 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.
A double acting compact cylinder with a through piston rod, the ACPD25X25 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 25 mm bore drives a 10 mm rod out of each cover, so the back-end rod can carry a sensor flag or a second tool while resisting rotation and side load. Fixed TPU bumpers sit at both ends and stroke speed runs 30-500 mm/s.
The hard-anodized aluminium body follows the short ISO 21287 format, saving roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which suits tight jigs and gantries. Note this model is discontinued: the current-production direct is the ACED25X25, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. The optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches; without it no sensor can be fitted.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED25X25 (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. |
| ×25 | 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 through rod clamps a machined aluminium bracket from both sides of a drilling fixture, delivering 206.2 N in each direction at 0.5 MPa so the part stays square.
The rear rod carries a flag past a CMSE switch (with the optional -S magnet) to confirm full retraction of a 25 mm ejection stroke on an assembly station.
A short-stroke pin press under a PCB test head uses the 25 mm stroke and about 12 kgf of usable force at 0.5 MPa where a full-length cylinder will not fit.
At 206.2 N per direction this 25 mm bore sits between the 20 mm bore (117.8 N) and the 32 mm bore (345.6 N) at 0.5 MPa, so size up if your fixture needs more margin. The piston drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check for a held load. FA/FB flange or LB foot mounts bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the female M6x1.0 rod thread takes standard I/Y knuckles. Order the -S code if you need CMSE / DMSE position switches. Replacement: ACED25X25.
Replacement checklist
Because a rod exits both covers, 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 port is M5x0.8.
The hard-anodized aluminium body follows the short ISO 21287 format, cutting about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with FA/FB flange and LB foot options. The ACPD25X25 is discontinued; the ACED25X25 is the current direct in the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before you swap.
