This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED25X60SB, 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 ACPD25X60SB
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD25X60SB is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 60mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED25X60SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD25X60SB
Double acting with a rod exiting both covers, the ACPD25X60SB delivers 206.2 N in each direction at 0.5 MPa (288.6 N at 0.7 MPa) because both strokes work on the rod-side area. The 25 mm bore, 60 mm stroke through-rod resists rotation and side load, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. Male rod thread (B code) and PT ports on this unit.
The short ISO 21287-class body cuts mounting length by roughly half versus an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs and guarding. The 60 mm stroke sits well inside the 150 mm standard range for this bore. With the -S magnet fitted, CMSE or DMSE switches give position feedback. This model is discontinued; the current direct is ACED25X60 - confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED25X60SB (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 ACPD25X60SB Is Used
Fixture clamping with feedback
The 206.2 N both-ways force clamps small machined parts in drill jigs, while the fitted -S magnet drives a CMSE switch to confirm the clamp is home before the cycle starts.
Reciprocating transfer slide
A rod on each end lets one side push the carriage and the other carry a position flag, moving a 60 mm shuttle on a PCB handling line at up to 500 mm/s.
Carton push-off station
About 12 kgf of usable thrust at 0.5 MPa nudges small cartons off a conveyor lane into a packing chute, with the TPU bumper softening each end stop.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD25X60SB with the ACED25X60SB
Size around the load: at 0.5 MPa this bore gives 206.2 N both ways, so keep real work near 124 N. Step down to a 20 mm bore (117.8 N) for lighter tooling, or up to 32 mm (345.6 N) when clamping force must grow. The through-rod suits symmetric mounts and guided tooling plates; FA/FB flange or LB foot brackets bolt to the ISO 21287 face. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check if a load must be held. Order ACED25X60 as the current-production replacement.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED25X60SB
- ✓ 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 ACPD25X60SB 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 range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the 60 mm stroke is within the 150 mm standard limit for this bore.
The hard-anodized aluminium body follows the short ISO 21287-class format, saving about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder - useful inside guards and gantries. Fixed TPU bumpers pad both ends of travel. The ACPD family is discontinued; ACED25X60 is the current direct with the same bore, stroke and force class, but confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before you swap, since the ACP is DIN-standard.
