This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED25X5, 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 ACPD25X5
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD25X5 is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 5mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED25X5 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD25X5
This is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder: a piston rod exits both covers of the hard-anodized aluminium body, so the 25 mm bore delivers the same 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa (288.6 N at 0.7 MPa) on every stroke because both sides work on the rod-side area. The 5 mm stroke suits tiny indexing and clamping moves, running 30-500 mm/s on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
The through-rod resists rotation and light side load and gives a symmetric mount, with the rear rod free to carry a sensor flag. A fixed TPU bumper sits at each end. As a rule of thumb, plan on about 124 N (roughly 12.6 kg of vertical lift) of real work at 0.5 MPa rather than the full rating. Note this model is discontinued: the current-production direct is the ISO 21287 ACED25X5, so confirm mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED25X5 (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).

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).
Where the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD25X5 Is Used
Micro press ejection
The 5 mm stroke and 206.2 N per side are enough to eject small pressed bushings from a jig die on a bench press without oversizing the fixture.
Two-point flag sensing
With the rear rod carrying a flag plate, one short-stroke axis can trip two position checks on an assembly station - order the -S code if CMSE / DMSE switches are wanted.
Connector hold-down
A symmetric through-rod clamps a PCB connector block from one compact body during solder or test, fitting where a full-length cylinder cannot.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD25X5 with the ACED25X5
At 206.2 N per side, this 25 mm bore sits between the 20 mm size (117.8 N) and the 32 mm size (345.6 N) at 0.5 MPa. The 5 mm stroke is well inside the 150 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it is a catalog item. The rod end is female M6x1.0 with a PT port; FA/FB flange or LB foot brackets bolt to the same face. Remember that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must be held. This unit is discontinued; order ACED25X5 as the current equivalent.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED25X5
- ✓ 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 ACPD25X5 FAQ
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. Working 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 a female M6x1.0 rod thread.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits tight guards and jigs. A fixed TPU bumper decelerates each end. The ACPD25X5 is discontinued - the current-production direct is ACED25X5 (same bore, stroke and force class); confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
