This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED32X125B, 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 ACPD32X125B
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X125B 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 ACED32X125B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X125B
Double acting with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD32X125B delivers 345.6 N in each direction at 0.5 MPa because both strokes work on the rod-side area. The through-rod resists rotation and side load, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag while the front rod drives the tool. Stroke is 125 mm on a 32 mm bore with a 12 mm rod and 1/8" ports.
This compact 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. At 0.7 MPa it still gives 483.8 N each way, and a practical rule of thumb is to plan about 207 N (roughly 21 kg of push) of real work rather than the full rating. A fixed TPU bumper sits at both ends, the hard-anodized aluminium body carries an S45C hard-chrome rod, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi). Note: this model is discontinued - the current-production direct is the ACED32X125, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED32X125B (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 ACPD32X125B Is Used
Reciprocating transfer slide
The through-rod drives a small pallet slide on a PCB handling line; equal 345.6 N force both ways means identical accelerate and return behavior at 30-500 mm/s.
Symmetric clamp fixture
On a machining fixture, the rear rod carries a reed-switch flag position while the front rod clamps, and the short body fits inside the fixture plate envelope.
Push-push carton kicker
A packaging line kicker uses the back rod as a mechanical return stop, with the 125 mm stroke clearing a 100 mm carton lane in one cycle.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X125B with the ACED32X125B
Size both ways: if 345.6 N per side at 0.5 MPa is more than the job needs, the ACPD25X125 gives 206.2 N; if you need headroom, the ACPD40X125 reaches 571.8 N. This unit has a male rod thread (B code) and PT ports. It ships without the optional -S magnet, so no CMSE or DMSE switch can be fitted - order the -S version if position sensing is planned. Remember a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost; add a rod lock or pilot check for a held load. For new builds, specify the ACED32X125 instead, as this model is discontinued.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED32X125B
- ✓ 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 ACPD32X125B FAQ
Yes - as a double-rod cylinder both strokes use the rod-side area, 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 32 mm bore takes a 12 mm rod with 1/8" ports.
Switches need the optional -S magnet code; this version has no magnet, so CMSE or DMSE switches cannot be mounted on it. The ACPD family is discontinued - the current-production successor is the ACED32X125 (swap the P for an E), which matches the same bore, stroke and force class. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP is DIN-standard.
