This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED32X150S, 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 ACPD32X150S
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X150S 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 ACED32X150S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X150S
A double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to the DIN-standard ACP pattern, the ACPD32X150S pushes and pulls with identical force because a rod exits both covers and both strokes use the rod-side area. At 0.5 MPa this 32 mm bore delivers 345.6 N in either direction, rising to 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa. The 150 mm stroke sits inside the 200 mm standard range for this bore, so it is a catalogue item, not a made-to-order build.
The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag for a second switch point. The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which suits tight jigs and gantries. This unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clipped on. Note the ACPD family is discontinued: the current-production direct is the ACED32X150, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. As a rule of thumb, plan on roughly 207 N (about 21 kg vertical) of real work at 0.5 MPa rather than the full rating.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED32X150S (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 ACPD32X150S Is Used
Reciprocating transfer slide
The equal 345.6 N push and pull at 0.5 MPa drives a parts-carrying shuttle between two stations on a small assembly line, with the rear rod carrying a flag for position sensing.
Clamp-and-eject jig station
A 150 mm stroke clears a fixture in a machining cell, and the through-rod resists the side load of an off-centre ejector plate without extra guides.
Gantry Z-axis with switch points
With the -S magnet fitted, CMSE or DMSE switches confirm up and down positions on a light pick-and-place gantry lifting parts of about 21 kg or less.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X150S with the ACED32X150S
Size both ways: if 345.6 N per direction is more than the job needs, the 25 mm bore gives 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa; if you need more, step up to the 40 mm bore at 571.8 N. Keep in mind that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - for a held load add a rod lock or pilot check valve. This model already includes the -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches, and FA/FB flange or LB foot mounts bolt to the standard face. Order the ACED32X150 as the current replacement and verify ISO 21287 mounting dimensions first.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED32X150S
- ✓ 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 ACPD32X150S FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, force is equal both ways: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, on the rod-side area. The maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 70.5 kgf. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and speed range 30-500 mm/s.
The hard-anodized aluminium body is an ISO 21287-class compact build, about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a fixed TPU bumper at each rod end that only decelerates the piston at the extremes. The ACPD is discontinued; the current direct is the ACED32X150 - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before converting.
