This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED32X125S, 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 ACPD32X125S
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X125S 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 ACED32X125S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X125S
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod exiting both covers, the ACPD32X125S delivers an identical 345.6 N in each direction at 0.5 MPa (483.8 N at 0.7 MPa), because both strokes work on the rod-side area of the 32 mm bore. The 125 mm stroke stays well inside the 200 mm standard range for this bore, and the through-rod resists rotation and side load while giving you a symmetric mounting face at each end. The hard-anodized aluminium body keeps the overall length short - roughly 50% less mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder - so it slots into tight jigs and gantries.
The S code means the optional -S magnet is fitted on this unit, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clipped on for end-of-stroke signalling. A fixed TPU bumper sits at both ends, the S45C hard-chrome rod carries a female M8x1.25 thread, and ports are 1/8". Note this model is discontinued: the current-production direct is the ACED32X125 in the same bore, stroke and force class, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED32X125S (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 ACPD32X125S Is Used
Symmetric clamp fixtures
The through-rod lets a machining fixture clamp from both faces with one cylinder, using the equal 345.6 N force at 0.5 MPa on each side of a 125 mm stroke.
Indexing table position feedback
With the -S magnet fitted, CMSE or DMSE switches confirm both end positions of a rotary indexing table's linear pusher running at 30-500 mm/s.
Reject pusher on packaging lines
The back-end rod carries a sensor flag while the front rod ejects off-spec cartons from a conveyor, with the fixed TPU bumper absorbing end-of-travel shock.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X125S with the ACED32X125S
Size against neighbours: the 25 mm bore gives 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to 40 mm raises it to 571.8 N - pick the 32 mm when 345.6 N per direction matches the job. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check where a load must stay put. FA/FB flange and LB foot mountings bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and this S-coded unit already carries the optional -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches. For new designs, order the ACED32X125 instead - same bore, stroke and force class, currently in production.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED32X125S
- ✓ 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 ACPD32X125S FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design means both strokes use the rod-side area, so force is equal either 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 12 mm rod ends in a female M8x1.25 thread with 1/8" ports.
Order the ACED32X125, the current-production ISO 21287 successor. Swap the P for an E and you get the same 32 mm bore, 125 mm stroke and force class in a short-body aluminium cylinder. Before swapping, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your existing fixture, since the ACP was built to the older DIN-standard pattern. The ACED keeps the FA/FB flange and LB foot mounting family and the optional magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches.
