This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED32X125, 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 ACPD32X125
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X125 is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 125mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED32X125 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X125
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD32X125 delivers 345.6 N in each direction at 0.5 MPa because both strokes work on the rod-side area. The 32 mm bore pushes 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa either way, so a fixture clamp or a two-sided ejector sees identical force on extend and retract. The through-rod resists rotation and side load, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag on pick-and-place arms.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into tight gantries and guarding. A fixed TPU bumper sits at both ends, the hard-anodized aluminium body carries a 12 mm S45C hard-chrome rod, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s. Note this model is discontinued: the current-production direct is ACED32X125, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED32X125 (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 ACPD32X125 Is Used
Two-sided jig clamping
The through-rod clamps a machined aluminium bracket from both covers at once, applying 345.6 N per side at 0.5 MPa for balanced fixturing on a CNC line.
Synchronized slide actuation
Rods on both ends of the 125 mm stroke drive opposing slides on a packaging machine, keeping equal 483.8 N force at 0.7 MPa in each direction.
Sensor-flag carrier
The rear rod mounts a flag for a proximity sensor on a sorting gantry, while the front rod does the work at 30-500 mm/s.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X125 with the ACED32X125
At 345.6 N per side, the 32 mm bore suits clamping and syncing jobs in the 20-35 kg range; step down to ACPD25X125 (206.2 N both ways) for lighter gates or up to ACPD40X125 (571.8 N) for heavier tooling. The piston drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put. FA/FB flange and LB foot mountings bolt to the standard face, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches - this code has no magnet. Order ACED32X125 as the current replacement.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED32X125
- ✓ 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 ACPD32X125 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 peak of 70.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. 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.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end and FA/FB or LB mounting options. The ACPD family is discontinued; ACED32X125 is the current direct successor in the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
