This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED32X15SB, 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 ACPD32X15SB
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X15SB 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 ACED32X15SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X15SB
A double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to the DIN-standard ACP pattern, the ACPD32X15SB pushes a 12 mm through-rod out of both covers, so the 32 mm bore delivers 345.6 N in each direction at 0.5 MPa (483.8 N at 0.7 MPa) with no push-pull imbalance. The male rod thread (B code) suits external nuts and knuckles, and the fitted -S magnet accepts CMSE / DMSE switches for end-position sensing. Note this model is discontinued; the current-production successor is the ACED32X15.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into tight pick-and-place gantries and fixture plates. A fixed TPU bumper at each end decelerates the piston, the hard-anodized aluminium body runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), and speed spans 30-500 mm/s.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED32X15SB (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 ACPD32X15SB Is Used
Fixture clamping slide
The 345.6 N both-ways force clamps small aluminium brackets in a machining fixture, and the short 15 mm stroke keeps the clamp arm inside a crowded tooling plate.
Indexed test station
With the fitted -S magnet and CMSE / DMSE switches, both end positions of a 15 mm press-check move are confirmed on a quality-control bench.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X15SB with the ACED32X15SB
At 15 mm stroke this is a short-throw actuator: choose it for positioning or clamping moves under 20 mm. If the job needs more reach, the same bore runs to a 200 mm standard stroke; for lighter work the 25 mm bore gives 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa, while the 40 mm bore raises it to 571.8 N. The through-rod resists rotation and side load and lets the rear rod carry a sensor flag. Remember that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check for a held load. For new designs, order the ACED32X15 instead and confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP is DIN-standard.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED32X15SB
- ✓ 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 ACPD32X15SB FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, output is equal both ways: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, peaking at 70.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, speed 30-500 mm/s, and the bore 32 port is 1/8" PT.
No - the ACPD family is discontinued. The current direct is the ACED32X15 (swap the P for an E), an ISO 21287 compact cylinder in the same bore, stroke and force class. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP is DIN-standard, and check FA/FB flange or LB foot bracket fit.
