This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED32X175, 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 ACPD32X175
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X175 is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 175mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED32X175 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X175
A double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to the DIN-standard ACP pattern, the ACPD32X175 pushes a 32 mm bore through a 175 mm stroke with a rod leaving both covers. Because each side sees the rod-side area, output is identical in either direction: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, both ways. The through-rod resists rotation and side load, gives a symmetric mounting face, and lets the rear rod carry a sensor flag, while fixed TPU bumpers decelerate the piston at each end. Running on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), it covers 30-500 mm/s between -20 and +70 C.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod keeps the short ISO 21287-class footprint, saving roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs and gantries. Note this model carries no magnet, so CMSE or DMSE switches cannot be fitted unless you order the optional -S version. The ACPD family is discontinued; the current-production direct is the ACED32X175, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED32X175 (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 ACPD32X175 Is Used
Symmetric jig clamping
The through-rod lets a fixture clamp from either cover with the same 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa, ideal for a machining jig that needs identical grip on both faces of an aluminium housing.
Push-pull transfer between conveyors
A rod on each end drives a part pusher and its return flag from one cylinder, moving cartons across a 175 mm gap on a packaging line at up to 500 mm/s.
Sensor-flag positioning on a gantry
With the optional -S magnet and CMSE or DMSE switches, the rear rod carries a flag for end-of-travel detection on a pick-and-place gantry slide.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X175 with the ACED32X175
At 345.6 N per side at 0.5 MPa, this bore suits clamping and transfer tasks in the 20 kg load class; step down to the 25 mm bore (206.2 N) for lighter fixtures or up to the 40 mm bore (571.8 N) when the job needs more muscle. The 175 mm stroke sits inside the 200 mm standard range for bore 32, so no made-to-order build is required. Mounting is via FA/FB flange or LB foot on the compact face, and the female M8x1.25 rod thread with PT ports keeps plumbing simple. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check where a load must be held. Order the ACED32X175 instead, as this model is out of production.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED32X175
- ✓ 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 ACPD32X175 FAQ
Yes. As a double-rod cylinder, both strokes use the rod-side area, so output is equal either way: 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.
Order the ACED32X175, the ISO 21287 successor made by swapping the P for an E. It matches the same 32 mm bore, 175 mm stroke and force class with FA/FB flange and LB foot options. Before swapping, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture, since the ACP was built to a DIN-standard pattern. Also note the magnet is only present when the -S code is ordered.
