This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED32X100, 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 ACPD32X100
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X100 is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 100mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED32X100 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X100
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod exiting both covers, the ACPD32X100 delivers 345.6 N in either direction at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, because both strokes work on the rod-side area. The 32 mm bore carries a 12 mm through-rod with a female M8x1.25 thread on each end, 1/8" ports, and a fixed TPU bumper at both covers. Note that this model is discontinued; the current-production successor is the ACED32X100 in the same bore, stroke and force class.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs and gantries. The through-rod resists rotation and side load, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. The optional -S magnet code enables CMSE / DMSE switches; without it no magnet is fitted.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED32X100 (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 (Ø32mm)
| Pressure | Force (both ways) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 346 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 484 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 70 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 ACPD32X100 Is Used
Symmetric fixture clamping
The equal 345.6 N force in both directions lets one cylinder clamp a machined aluminium housing on the forward stroke and retract the clamp arm on the same force, with no spring return to derate for.
Push-pull transfer slide
On a small electronics assembly line, the through-rod drives a slide that pushes a PCB tray into a test nest, then pulls it back out at the same 345.6 N, keeping cycle speeds up to 500 mm/s.
Rear-rod sensor flag station
In a packaging machine guard, the back-end rod carries a flag plate; order the -S magnet and a CMSE switch to confirm end positions without adding a separate proximity sensor bracket.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X100 with the ACED32X100
At 345.6 N per side, this 32 mm bore suits clamping and transfer jobs in the 20-30 kg range; step down to the 25 mm bore (206.2 N) for lighter fixtures or up to the 40 mm bore (571.8 N) when more force is needed. The 100 mm stroke sits well inside the 200 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check where a load must stay put. FA/FB flange and LB foot mountings bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and ordering the -S code adds the magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches. For new projects, specify the ACED32X100 and confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED32X100
- ✓ 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 ACPD32X100 FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, force is equal in both directions: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa on every stroke, with a maximum of 70.5 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 bore takes a 12 mm rod with 1/8" ports.
Order the ACED32X100, the current-production ISO 21287 replacement: swap the P for an E and you get the same 32 mm bore, 100 mm stroke and force class in a matching short body. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before swapping, since the ACP was built to the DIN standard. The fixed TPU bumpers, 1/8" ports and M8x1.25 female rod thread carry over in the same class.
