This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED32X10SB, 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 ACPD32X10SB
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X10SB 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 ACED32X10SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X10SB
This is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder: a 12 mm piston rod exits both covers of the hard-anodized aluminium body, so the 32 mm bore delivers the same 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa (483.8 N at 0.7 MPa) on every stroke, since both sides work on the rod-side area. The 10 mm stroke keeps the body extremely short, and the male rod thread (the B code) bolts straight to tooling. It runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at 30-500 mm/s.
Because the rod passes through both ends, the piston resists rotation and side load, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag or a second fixture. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clipped on for end-of-stroke detection. Note the ACPD family is discontinued: the current-production direct is the ACED32X10 in the ISO 21287 class, so confirm the mounting dimensions before you swap.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED32X10SB (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 ACPD32X10SB Is Used
Short-stamp marking on brackets
The 10 mm stroke and 345.6 N both ways let a press-fit stamp mark aluminium brackets in a tight die head, with the rear rod driving a part-present flag.
Gated ejection on a PCB line
With the -S magnet fitted, CMSE or DMSE switches confirm each 10 mm eject of rejected boards at the gate, and the through-rod keeps the pusher true.
Symmetric clamping in a jig
A rod on each cover lets one cylinder clamp a machined housing from two sides with equal 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, inside a compact fixture plate.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X10SB with the ACED32X10SB
At 345.6 N per direction, this 32 mm bore suits clamping and positioning jobs in the 20-30 kg class; step down to the 25 mm bore (206.2 N) for lighter fixtures or up to the 40 mm bore (571.8 N) for heavier presses. The 10 mm stroke is well inside the 200 mm standard range for this bore. The through-rod gives a symmetric mount and the male thread suits knuckle or tool attachment, but the piston will drift if air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must stay put. Since ACPD is discontinued, order the ACED32X10 and verify the ISO 21287 mounting face against your fixture.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED32X10SB
- ✓ 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 ACPD32X10SB FAQ
Because a 12 mm rod exits both covers, output is equal both ways: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa on every stroke (rod-side area). At 1.0 MPa the bore tops out at 70.5 kgf. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits shallow jig plates and guard channels. It has a fixed TPU bumper at each end, FA/FB flange or LB foot mounting, a 1/8" PT port and a male rod thread. The ACPD is discontinued; the ACED32X10 is the current direct in the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
