This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED25X30SB, 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 ACPD25X30SB 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 ACED25X30SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.
Double acting with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD25X30SB 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 30 mm stroke sits well inside the 150 mm standard range for the 25 mm bore, and the male rod thread (B code) plus the fitted -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches are built into this code. This model is discontinued; the current-production successor is ACED25X30.
The through-rod is the working advantage here: it resists rotation and side load, gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag on a packaging or assembly jig. The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight fixtures. A fixed TPU bumper sits at each end, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED25X30SB (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. |
| ×30 | 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 206.2 N both-ways output pushes finished blister packs off a forming station and retracts with equal force, while the 30 mm stroke matches the tray pitch.
With the -S magnet fitted, CMSE or DMSE switches report end positions on both rod ends, letting a vision cell confirm a PCB carrier is fully seated and released.
A rod on each cover lets one cylinder drive a pad from either side of a labeling head, keeping force symmetric at 288.6 N per direction at 0.7 MPa.
If 206.2 N per side is more than the job needs, the 20 mm bore gives 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa; if it falls short, step up to 32 mm for 345.6 N. Remember this cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put. LB foot or FA/FB flange mounts bolt to the same face family. Order ACED25X30 as the current direct and confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP follows the DIN standard.
Replacement checklist
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 pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and speed 30-500 mm/s.
It is a compact DIN-standard cylinder whose hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end and M5x0.8 ports. The model is discontinued; order ACED25X30 as the current ISO 21287 direct and verify the mounting dimensions before the swap.
