This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED32X160S, 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 ACPD32X160S
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X160S is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 160mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED32X160S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X160S
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD32X160S pushes and pulls with identical force: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa in each direction, because both strokes work on the rod-side area of the 32 mm bore. The 160 mm stroke sits inside the 200 mm standard range for this bore, and the through-rod gives a symmetric mount that resists rotation and modest side load, with the rear rod free to carry a sensor flag. A fixed TPU bumper pads each end of travel.
The hard-anodized aluminium body keeps the mounting length roughly 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs, guards and gantries. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clipped on for end-of-stroke detection. Note that the ACPD family is discontinued: the current-production direct is the ACED32X160 in the same bore, stroke and force class, and buyers should confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. 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 ACED32X160S (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 ACPD32X160S Is Used
Bottling line pusher gate
The through-rod lets a diverting paddle mount on both rod ends of the 160 mm stroke, swinging bottles off a conveyor with 345.6 N of equal force each way at 0.5 MPa.
Fixture clamp-and-eject station
One face clamps a machined aluminium housing while the opposite rod ejects it, using the identical 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa available in both directions.
Reciprocating slide on a packaging machine
The 160 mm stroke drives a cross-slide at 30-500 mm/s, with CMSE switches on the -S magnet confirming each end position and the rear rod carrying a flag.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X160S with the ACED32X160S
Pick this model when a job needs equal push and pull of about 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa over 160 mm, such as a transfer stage that must clamp and release with the same face. If the force budget is lighter, the ACPD25 delivers 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa; if you need more, step up to the ACPD40 at 571.8 N. FA/FB flange and LB foot mounts bolt to the compact face, and the -S magnet on this unit supports CMSE / DMSE switch positioning. Remember that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check for held loads, and order the ACED32X160 as the current replacement.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED32X160S
- ✓ 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 ACPD32X160S FAQ
No, the two are identical because a rod exits both covers and both strokes use the rod-side area of the 32 mm bore. Output is 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa in each direction, with a maximum of 70.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and speed 30-500 mm/s.
AirTAC no longer produces the ACPD family; the current direct is the ACED32X160, which swaps the P for an E and matches the same 32 mm bore, 160 mm stroke and force class. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP follows the older DIN-standard footprint. The short hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, ends of travel are padded by fixed TPU bumpers, and this unit carries the optional -S magnet so CMSE / DMSE switches can be fitted.
