This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED25X30S, 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 ACPD25X30S
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD25X30S is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 30mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED25X30S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD25X30S
Double acting with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD25X30S 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 through-rod resists rotation and side load, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag while the front rod drives the tooling. A fixed TPU bumper sits at both ends, and the fitted -S magnet lets CMSE or DMSE switches report position along the 30 mm travel.
The hard-anodized aluminium body follows the ISO 21287 short format, saving roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs and guarding. Note this model is discontinued: the current-production direct is ACED25X30, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED25X30S (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 ACPD25X30S Is Used
Symmetric fixture clamping
The equal 206.2 N push and pull at 0.5 MPa clamps and releases a machined housing in a CNC fixture with the same force, so the jig designer needs no derating on the return stroke.
Pick-and-place shuttle
On a small electronics assembly shuttle, the through-rod carries a tooling plate on the front rod while the rear rod drives a CMSE switch flag for stroke-end detection within the 30 mm travel.
Carton push-off arm
A packaging line uses the back-end rod as a guide stud while the front rod pushes light cartons off a conveyor at up to 500 mm/s, with the fixed TPU bumper absorbing each stroke end.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD25X30S with the ACED25X30S
At 206.2 N per side at 0.5 MPa, this 25 mm double-rod unit suits clamping and transfer work needing equal force both ways; step down to a 20 mm bore (117.8 N) for lighter fixtures or up to 32 mm (345.6 N) for heavier clamps. The piston does not hold position when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check for a suspended load. FA/FB flange and LB foot mountings bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the -S magnet in this code accepts CMSE / DMSE switches. For new projects, order the ACED25X30 replacement instead.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED25X30S
- ✓ 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 ACPD25X30S FAQ
Yes - because a rod exits both covers, both strokes use the rod-side area. The figures are 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 288.6 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction, with a maximum of 42.0 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure 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 with an M6x1.0 female rod thread.
The hard-anodized aluminium body follows the ISO 21287 short format, cutting about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. This unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE switches mount directly; the ACED25X30 successor offers the same magnet option, but confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping since the ACPD is DIN-standard.
