This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED32X120, 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 ACPD32X120
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X120 is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 120mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED32X120 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X120
This is a double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, so the ACPD32X120 pushes and pulls with identical force: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa on each stroke, because both sides work on the rod-side area of the 32 mm piston. The 12 mm through-rod resists rotation and side load, gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. A fixed TPU bumper sits at both ends and speed runs 30-500 mm/s.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it fits tight jigs, guards and gantries. The body is hard-anodized aluminium with an S45C hard-chrome rod, air supply is filtered to 40 um, and pressure runs 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof. Note: this model is discontinued. The current-production direct is ACED32X120, same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED32X120 (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 ACPD32X120 Is Used
Symmetric clamp fixtures
The through-rod lets a CNC jig clamp from both faces with the same 345.6 N force at 0.5 MPa, so the fixture designer needs no separate pull calculation.
Packaging pusher gates
On a bottling line diverter, the rear rod carries a flag for a DMSE switch (with the -S magnet) while the front rod pushes cartons at 30-500 mm/s.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X120 with the ACED32X120
At 345.6 N per direction at 0.5 MPa, the 32 mm bore suits clamping and transfer work up to roughly 200 N of real load; step down to the 25 mm bore (206.2 N) for lighter fixtures or up to the 40 mm bore (571.8 N) when the part is heavier. The 120 mm stroke sits inside the 200 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it is a catalogue item. If the load must stay put when air is lost, add a rod lock or pilot check - a plain double-rod cylinder will drift. Mount with FA/FB flange or LB foot, and remember this code has no magnet: order the -S version if you need CMSE or DMSE switches. For new projects, specify ACED32X120 instead.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED32X120
- ✓ 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 ACPD32X120 FAQ
Yes - it is a double-rod cylinder, so force is equal on both strokes: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, both ways, from the rod-side area of the 32 mm bore. At 1.0 MPa the maximum output is 70.5 kgf. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, port 1/8" PT, rod thread M8x1.25 female.
Order ACED32X120, the current-production ISO 21287 successor: swap the P for an E and you keep the same 32 mm bore, 120 mm stroke and force class. The short body still saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and FA/FB flange or LB foot brackets bolt to the standard face - just confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before the swap. If you need position switches, the -S magnet option accepts CMSE / DMSE sensors.
