This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED32X125SB, 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 ACPD32X125SB
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X125SB 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 ACED32X125SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X125SB
Double acting with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD32X125SB pushes and pulls with the same 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa (483.8 N at 0.7 MPa), because each stroke works on the rod-side area of the 32 mm bore. The through-rod resists rotation and side load, gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag, while fixed TPU bumpers decelerate both ends. This unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be mounted directly on the body.
The hard-anodized aluminium body follows the ISO 21287 short format, saving roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into tight jigs and gantries. 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 ACED32X125SB (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 ACPD32X125SB Is Used
Two-sided jig clamping
The front rod clamps a machined aluminium bracket while the rear rod trips a fixture sensor, with 345.6 N holding force available in each direction at 0.5 MPa.
Pusher on a packaging line
A 125 mm stroke diverts cartons between conveyor lanes at 30-500 mm/s, and the through-rod keeps the pusher plate square under light side load.
Test rig actuator
Equal force both ways makes the cylinder ideal for cyclic push-pull endurance testing of small plastic housings, with CMSE switches reporting end positions via the fitted magnet.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X125SB with the ACED32X125SB
At 345.6 N per direction, bore 32 suits clamping and reciprocating tasks in the 200-350 N band. Step down to bore 25 (206.2 N at 0.5 MPa) for lighter fixtures, or up to bore 40 (571.8 N) when the work grows. The 125 mm stroke sits inside the 200 mm standard range for this bore. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost - 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 the -S magnet on this unit accepts CMSE / DMSE switches. For new designs, order the ACED32X125 instead.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED32X125SB
- ✓ 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 ACPD32X125SB FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, force is equal in both directions: 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. Both strokes use the rod-side area of the 32 mm bore, so there is no push-pull difference.
Order the ACED32X125, the ISO 21287 successor made by swapping the P for an E. It matches the same 32 mm bore, 125 mm stroke and force class with a short compact body and fixed TPU bumpers at both ends. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACPD follows the older DIN-standard footprint.
