This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED32X15, 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 ACPD32X15
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X15 is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 15mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED32X15 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X15
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD32X15 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 15 mm stroke suits short-reach tooling, and the through-rod at the rear can carry a sensor flag or a second tooling plate while resisting rotation and side load. Its hard-anodized aluminium body is an ISO 21287 short build that saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it drops into tight jigs and guarding where a full-length body cannot fit.
This model is discontinued; the current-production direct is the ACED32X15 in the same bore, stroke and force class, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. FA/FB flange or LB foot brackets bolt straight to the standard face, and the fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-travel shock. Note that no magnet is fitted on this code: order the optional -S version if you need CMSE or DMSE switch position sensing. Running 30-500 mm/s on air filtered to 40 um, it takes 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof limit.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED32X15 (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 ACPD32X15 Is Used
Fixture clamping on CNC jigs
The 15 mm stroke and 345.6 N per side at 0.5 MPa clamp small machined brackets in drilling jigs, and the rear rod carries a workpiece-present flag for the PLC.
Push-off stations on packaging lines
Symmetric force in both directions ejects cartons or blisters off a conveyor at 30-500 mm/s, with the short ISO 21287 body fitting under low guarding.
Reciprocating slide drives in test rigs
Equal 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa both ways drives a small linear slide back and forth in electronics burn-in fixtures, where the through-rod resists side load.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X15 with the ACED32X15
At 345.6 N per side at 0.5 MPa, this 32 mm bore covers clamping and pressing jobs up to roughly 35 kgf; step down to a 25 mm bore (206.2 N) for lighter fixtures or up to 40 mm (571.8 N) when more force is needed. Because a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must be held. Match FA/FB flange or LB foot mounting to your fixture, and remember the optional -S magnet is required before any CMSE / DMSE switch will read position. For new designs, specify the ACED32X15, the current ISO 21287 successor.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED32X15
- ✓ 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 ACPD32X15 FAQ
Yes. As a double-rod cylinder, both strokes use the rod-side area of the 32 mm bore, so output 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. It runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C, with a 12 mm rod, M8x1.25 female rod thread and 1/8" ports.
Order the ACED32X15, the current-production ISO 21287 successor made by swapping the P for an E. It matches the same 32 mm bore, 15 mm stroke and force class, and accepts the same FA/FB flange and LB foot mounting family. Since the ACP was built to a DIN standard, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before the swap. If you need position sensing, also order the -S magnet code so CMSE or DMSE switches can be fitted.
