This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED32X15B, 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 ACPD32X15B
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X15B 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 ACED32X15B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X15B
This is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder: a rod exits both covers, so the 32 mm bore delivers an identical 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa (483.8 N at 0.7 MPa) on every stroke, since both sides work on the rod-side area. The 15 mm stroke suits short clamp-and-release moves, and the male rod thread (B code) bolts straight to your tooling. Because the through-rod resists rotation and side load, the rear rod can also carry a sensor flag on a two-position fixture.
The hard-anodized aluminium body runs at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and 30-500 mm/s, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end. Its short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it fits tight jigs and guarding. At 0.5 MPa, plan on roughly 207 N (about 21 kg) of usable push force rather than the full 345.6 N rating. Note: this model is discontinued; the current-production direct is the ACED32X15, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED32X15B (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 ACPD32X15B Is Used
PCB fixture clamping
The short 15 mm stroke and 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa seat circuit boards into a test nest on an electronics line without over-travel.
Two-position part present
The rear rod on the through-rod design drives a flag past a switch, confirming part position on a small assembly station.
Carton gate indexing
Equal force both directions lets the same cylinder open and close a packaging line gate at 30-500 mm/s with identical push.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X15B with the ACED32X15B
For a 15 mm stroke, 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa covers light clamping and part-present moves; drop to a 25 mm bore (206.2 N) for gentler presses or step up to a 40 mm bore (571.8 N) for heavier tooling. If the load must stay put when air is lost, add a rod lock or pilot check - a plain double-rod cylinder drifts. This unit has no magnet, so CMSE or DMSE switches cannot be fitted; order the -S code (ACPD32X15BS) if position sensing is needed. FA/FB flange and LB foot mounts bolt to the same face. Replacement: ACED32X15.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED32X15B
- ✓ 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 ACPD32X15B FAQ
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, 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. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, port 1/8" PT, rod 12 mm with male thread.
No - the ACPD family is discontinued. The current-production direct is the ACED32X15 (swap the P for an E), which matches the same bore, stroke and force class in the ISO 21287 short-body format. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before swapping, since the ACP was built to a DIN standard.
