This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED25X50B, 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 ACPD25X50B
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD25X50B is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 50mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED25X50B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD25X50B
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD25X50B pushes and pulls with identical force: 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 288.6 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction, because both strokes work on the rod-side area. The 25 mm bore and 50 mm stroke suit short-stroke tooling, and the through-rod resists rotation and side load while the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s.
The hard-anodized aluminium body keeps the mounting length roughly 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight fixtures and guarding. A fixed TPU bumper sits at each end, and the male rod thread (B code) bolts to standard knuckles. Note this model is discontinued; the current direct is the ISO 21287 ACED25X50, so confirm mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED25X50B (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 ACPD25X50B Is Used
Symmetric jig clamping
The through-rod clamps a machined housing from both sides of a drilling fixture with equal 206.2 N force, so the jig needs no second cylinder.
Bidirectional pusher on a packaging line
One rod face pushes cartons off a conveyor while the rear rod returns a gate, both strokes delivering 288.6 N at 0.7 MPa.
Sensor-flag transfer slide
The back-end rod carries a flag past a CMSE or DMSE switch (when the -S magnet is ordered) to confirm stroke on a 50 mm parts-transfer slide.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD25X50B with the ACED25X50B
Step down to the 20 mm bore (117.8 N) for lighter pick-and-place, or up to the 32 mm bore (345.6 N) if the part weight grows. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check for held loads. LB foot or FA/FB flange mounts fit the standard face, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches - this unit has no magnet fitted. Order ACED25X50 as the current-production replacement.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED25X50B
- ✓ 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 ACPD25X50B FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design means both strokes use the rod-side area, so force is equal either way: 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), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the port is M5x0.8.
The hard-anodized aluminium body is an ISO 21287-class short build, saving about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with FA/FB flange or LB foot mounting and a fixed TPU bumper at each end. The ACPD25X50B is discontinued; the current direct is ACED25X50 (same bore, stroke and force class) - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
