This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED32X10S, 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 ACPD32X10S 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 ACED32X10S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.
A double acting compact cylinder with a piston rod leaving both covers, the ACPD32X10S pushes and pulls with identical force: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction, since both strokes work on the rod-side area. The 32 mm bore drives a 12 mm through-rod over a 10 mm stroke, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end and 1/8" ports. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clipped on for end-of-stroke sensing.
The short ISO 21287-class body cuts roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into tight fixture plates and guarding where a full-length body will not go. The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. Note this model is discontinued: the current-production direct is the ACED32X10, same bore, stroke and force class, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED32X10S (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 equal 345.6 N force in both directions lets one 10 mm stroke clamp a machined aluminum bracket and then eject it, with no re-plumbing between directions.
With the -S magnet and a CMSE switch on the front rod plus a DMSE flag on the rear rod, a bottling line gate reports both end positions over the short 10 mm travel.
A electronics assembly gantry uses the through-rod to carry a workpiece carrier forward and back over 10 mm, the symmetric mount keeping the tooling square.
At 345.6 N per side at 0.5 MPa, this 32 mm unit sits between the 25 mm bore (206.2 N) and the 40 mm bore (571.8 N), so step up only if the load demands it. The 10 mm stroke is well inside the 200 mm standard range for this bore. A plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put. FA/FB flange or LB foot mounts bolt to the same face, and the -S magnet on this model pairs with CMSE / DMSE switches. Order the ACED32X10 instead: it is the current replacement in the same class.
Replacement checklist
Because a rod exits both covers, force is equal both ways: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa per direction, peaking at 70.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, air filtered to 40 um, -20 to +70 C.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and the fixed TPU bumpers at both ends simply decelerate the piston. This -S version carries the optional magnet, so CMSE or DMSE switches mount directly. The model is discontinued; the ACED32X10 is the current direct, so verify ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before ordering.
