This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED32X120S, 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 ACPD32X120S
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X120S 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 ACED32X120S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X120S
Double acting with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD32X120S pushes and pulls with identical output: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa in each direction, because both strokes work on the rod-side area of the 32 mm bore. The through-rod resists rotation and side load, gives a symmetric mount, and lets the rear rod carry a sensor flag, while fixed TPU bumpers at each end take the end-of-stroke hit. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s over 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) of clean, 40 um filtered air.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs and guarding where a full-length body will not fit. 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 that the ACPD family is discontinued: the current-production direct is the ACED32X120, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED32X120S (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 ACPD32X120S Is Used
Two-sided jig clamping
The equal 345.6 N force in both directions lets one cylinder press a workpiece against a nest on the forward stroke and retract a gate on the return, ideal for a 120 mm-stroke machining fixture.
Reciprocating slide drive
The through-rod on both covers anchors a belt or rack at each end, driving a pick-and-place slide back and forth at up to 500 mm/s with symmetric force.
Position-flagged transfer unit
With the -S magnet fitted, CMSE or DMSE switches on the body confirm extend and retract of a 120 mm parts-transfer pusher on a packaging line.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X120S with the ACED32X120S
At 345.6 N per direction at 0.5 MPa, this 32 mm bore suits clamping and reciprocating tasks in the 20-35 kg load class; step down to the 25 mm bore (206.2 N) for lighter fixtures or up to the 40 mm bore (571.8 N) when more force is needed. The 120 mm stroke sits inside the 200 mm standard range for this bore, so no made-to-order build is required. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must be held. FA/FB flange or LB foot mounts bolt straight to the face, and the female M8x1.25 rod thread accepts standard I/Y knuckles. Order the ACED32X120 as the current replacement.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED32X120S
- ✓ 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 ACPD32X120S FAQ
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, with a maximum of 70.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s.
AirTAC no longer produces the ACPD family. The current direct is the ACED32X120, which swaps the P for an E and matches the same 32 mm bore, 120 mm stroke and force class in the ISO 21287 compact format. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before swapping, and note the magnet on this unit is the optional -S code, not a default on every ACE.
