This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED32X100S, 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 ACPD32X100S
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X100S 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 ACED32X100S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X100S
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD32X100S delivers 345.6 N in each direction at 0.5 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, 1/8" ports, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end. Its hard-anodized aluminium body follows the ISO 21287 short format, so it takes up roughly 50% less mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder - ideal for tight jigs and gantries.
The S code means the optional -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clipped on for end-of-stroke signalling. Because the through-rod resists rotation and side load, the rear rod can also carry a sensor flag or a second tooling plate. Note this model is discontinued: the current-production direct is the ACED32X100, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED32X100S (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 ACPD32X100S Is Used
Symmetric jig clamping
The through-rod lets a fixture plate clamp from both sides of a CNC pallet, with 345.6 N per side at 0.5 MPa holding aluminium housings during a drilling cycle.
Positioned pick stations on small assembly cells
With the fitted -S magnet and CMSE switches, the 100 mm stroke confirms part presence on an electronics feeder slide running at 30-500 mm/s.
Push-pull transfer between conveyor lanes
Equal force in both directions moves plastic trays sideways on a packaging line, the rear rod doubling as a mount for a sensor flag.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X100S with the ACED32X100S
For a 100 mm stroke at this force class, 345.6 N per side at 0.5 MPa suits clamping, indexing and push-pull stations. If your load needs less, the ACPD25X100S gives 206.2 N both ways; if you need more, step up to the ACPD40X100S at 571.8 N. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve for a held load. FA/FB flange or LB foot mounts bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the -S magnet on this unit accepts CMSE / DMSE switches. Order the ACED32X100 as the current replacement and verify mounting dimensions against the datasheet.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED32X100S
- ✓ 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 ACPD32X100S FAQ
Being a double-rod cylinder, force is equal in both directions: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, 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 32 mm bore uses 1/8" ports with an M8x1.25 female rod thread.
Order the ACED32X100, the ISO 21287 successor made by swapping the P for an E. It matches the same bore, stroke and force class and keeps the short-body format with FA/FB flange and LB foot mounting options. Since the ACP was DIN-standard, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions from the datasheet before the swap. The fixed TPU bumpers at both ends remain part of the design.
