This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED32X120B, 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 ACPD32X120B
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X120B 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 ACED32X120B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X120B
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod exiting both covers, the ACPD32X120B delivers 345.6 N in each direction at 0.5 MPa because both strokes work on the rod-side area. The 32 mm bore and 120 mm stroke suit push-pull stations and synchronized tooling where one moving face must pull as hard as it pushes. Its short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight guarding and gantry frames.
The through-rod resists rotation and light side load and gives a symmetric mount; the rear rod can carry a sensor flag on machines that need one. A fixed TPU bumper sits at each end. Note this unit has no magnet fitted, so no CMSE or DMSE switch can be mounted - the optional -S code adds it. This model is discontinued; the current direct is ACED32X120, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED32X120B (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 ACPD32X120B Is Used
Push-pull fixture clamping
A rod on each cover lets one cylinder clamp a steel bracket from the front and release a locator from the rear with equal 345.6 N force at 0.5 MPa - no second cylinder needed.
Gantry pick-and-place flag drive
On a small gantry, the rear rod of the through-rod carries a sensor flag while the front rod drives a 120 mm stroke gripper slide at 30-500 mm/s.
Belt-line part rejector
Mounted under a conveyor, the double rod pushes rejected bottles off the belt and retracts with the same force, fitting the short space beside the return strand.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X120B with the ACED32X120B
Size between neighbors: a 25 mm bore gives 206.2 N per direction at 0.5 MPa, while a 40 mm bore raises that to 571.8 N. If your jig needs about 200 N of real work, this 32 mm unit fits; if you lift heavier parts vertically, step up to the 40 mm. The B code gives a male M8x1.25 rod thread and the 1/8" PT port matches the bore. FA/FB flange or LB foot mounts bolt to the standard face. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost - for a held load add a rod lock or pilot check valve. Order ACED32X120 as the current-production replacement.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED32X120B
- ✓ 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 ACPD32X120B FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design exposes the rod-side area on both strokes, so force is equal each way: 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 range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the 1/8" port matches the 32 mm bore.
The hard-anodized aluminium body follows the short ISO 21287-class format, saving about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with FA/FB flange and LB foot options. The ACPD32X120B is discontinued; the current-production successor is ACED32X120 - same bore, stroke and force class - so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before ordering.
