This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED32X150, 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.

The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X150 is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 150mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED32X150 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD32X150 delivers 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 150 mm stroke sits well inside the 200 mm standard range for this bore, so it is a catalogue item, not a made-to-order build. Its hard-anodized aluminium body is an ISO 21287 short body, cutting roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which matters in tight jigs and gantries.
The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount: the rear rod can carry a sensor flag or a counter fixture while the front rod does the work. A fixed TPU bumper sits at each end, 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 ACED32X150, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED32X150 (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.
| 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).
| ACPD | DIN compact cylinder (double-rod, discontinued). |
|---|---|
| 32 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×150 | Stroke length in mm. |
| S | Optional built-in magnet for sensor position sensing (omit for no magnet). |
| B | Rod type: B = male thread; blank = female thread. |
Replacement mapping (swap P for E): ACP→ACE, ASP→ASE, ATP→ATE, ACPD→ACED, ACPJ→ACEJ. ACP-family: ACP (double acting), ASP / ATP (single acting push / pull), ACPD (double rod), ACPJ (double rod, adjustable stroke).
The 345.6 N equal force in both directions lets one ACPD32X150 clamp and release a sheet-metal bracket with identical grip, while the rear rod drives a position-confirmation flag.
A bottle-filling line test station cycles at 30-500 mm/s; the through-rod keeps the pusher square under side load and the TPU bumpers absorb the stroke ends over 150 mm of travel.
On a packaging machine guard, rods on both covers actuate interlock pins from one cylinder, saving the space and cost of a second actuator in the 32 mm force class.
At 345.6 N per side at 0.5 MPa, this 32 mm bore suits clamping and transfer jobs in the 200-350 N band. If your load is lighter, the ACPD25X150 gives 206.2 N both ways; if you need more, step up to the ACPD40X150 at 571.8 N. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check for a held load. Mounting brackets (FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis and more) bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches - this code has no S, so no magnet is fitted. For new projects, order the ACED32X150 instead.
Replacement checklist
No - it is a double-rod cylinder, so force is equal both ways: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa on each stroke, peaking at 70.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Both directions use the rod-side area of the 32 mm bore. The 150 mm stroke is within the 200 mm standard limit for this bore, ports are 1/8" (PT), and the rod thread is female M8x1.25.
Order the ACED32X150, the current-production ISO 21287 successor: swap the P for an E and you get the same 32 mm bore, 150 mm stroke and force class in a matching short body. Before swapping, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture, since the ACP was built to the older DIN standard. FA/FB flange, LB foot and clevis brackets attach to the same face family.
