This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED32X15S, 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 ACPD32X15S
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X15S 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 ACED32X15S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X15S
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD32X15S pushes and pulls with identical output: 345.6 N in each direction at 0.5 MPa, rising to 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa. The 15 mm stroke and short ISO 21287-class body cut roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight fixtures where a full-length body cannot. The through-rod also resists rotation and side load, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag.
This unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches mount directly on the hard-anodized aluminium body. The S45C hard-chrome rod runs at 30-500 mm/s between fixed TPU bumpers at each end. Note that this model is discontinued: the current-production direct is the ACED32X15, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before ordering. As a planning figure, treat about 207 N (roughly 21 kg of vertical lift) as the usable output at 0.5 MPa rather than the full rating.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED32X15S (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 ACPD32X15S Is Used
Fixture clamping on a CNC jig
The 15 mm stroke clamps a machined aluminum bracket in a drilling fixture, with 345.6 N holding force applied identically from either side of the part.
Position-verified ejector
With the -S magnet fitted, CMSE switches confirm extend and retract on a short-push ejection station, and the rear rod carries a second flag if needed.
Press-fit anvil in electronics assembly
The symmetric through-rod centers a small connector press anvil, delivering 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa in a gantry too shallow for a full-length body.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X15S with the ACED32X15S
At 345.6 N per side, bore 32 sits between bore 25 (206.2 N) and bore 40 (571.8 N) at 0.5 MPa, so step down for lighter clamps or up if your jig needs more grip. The 15 mm stroke is well inside the 200 mm standard range for this bore. Remember that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put. This -S version already includes the magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches, and the ACED32X15 is the current replacement to quote.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED32X15S
- ✓ 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 ACPD32X15S FAQ
Yes - because a rod exits both covers, both strokes use the rod-side area. Output is 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, equal in each direction, 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, and the 1/8" port depends only on the 32 mm bore.
The compact body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with FA/FB flange or LB foot mounting on the ISO 21287 face. A fixed TPU bumper pads each end of travel; it only decelerates and never holds a load. The ACPD32X15S is discontinued - the current direct is the ACED32X15, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
