This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED32X10B, 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.

The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X10B is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 10mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED32X10B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod exiting BOTH covers, the ACPD32X10B delivers 345.6 N in each direction at 0.5 MPa (483.8 N at 0.7 MPa) because both strokes work on the rod-side area of the 32 mm bore. The 10 mm stroke suits short-reach clamping and positioning where a full-length body would never fit: the ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. This model is discontinued; the current-production direct is ACED32X10, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping from the DIN-standard ACP footprint.
The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, and the back-end rod can carry a sensor flag on other variants. A fixed TPU bumper sits at both ends, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s over 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) air filtered to 40 um. Note this unit has no magnet: order the -S code if you need CMSE / DMSE switch sensing.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED32X10B (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.
| 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).
| ACPD | DIN compact cylinder (double-rod, discontinued). |
|---|---|
| 32 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×10 | Stroke length in mm. |
| S | Optional built-in magnet for sensor position sensing (omit for no magnet). |
| B | Rod type: B = male thread; blank = female thread. |
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).
The 10 mm stroke and 345.6 N per side at 0.5 MPa suit seating dowel pins or bushings in small aluminium housings on an electronics assembly bench.
With a rod on both covers, one cylinder can clamp a workpiece from opposite sides in a machining fixture, keeping the mount balanced and rotation-resistant.
The compact body fits beside narrow conveyor frames to deflect small cartons or blisters at a transfer point, running 30-500 mm/s.
At 345.6 N per side at 0.5 MPa, the 32 mm bore sits between the 25 mm (206.2 N) and 40 mm (571.8 N) options - step down for lighter clamps, up when a fixture needs nearly double the force. The male rod thread (B code) takes standard rod accessories directly. A plain double-rod cylinder does not hold position when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check for a suspended load. FA/FB flange or LB foot mounting bolts to the ISO 21287 face. Choose ACED32X10 as the current replacement and verify the mounting dimensions.
Replacement checklist
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, both sides working on the rod-side area of the 32 mm bore. Maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 70.5 kgf. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure.
Only with the optional -S magnet code. This ACPD32X10B (no S in the code) has no magnet, so no switch can be mounted. Ordering the -S variant enables CMSE or DMSE reed / solid-state switches along the body. Also note the model is discontinued - the ACED32X10 is the current direct, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before ordering.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the ACED32X10B replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
