This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED32X225B, 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 ACPD32X225B
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X225B is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 225mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED32X225B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X225B
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD32X225B pushes and pulls with identical force because each stroke works on the rod-side area: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, equal in both directions. The 32 mm bore drives a 12 mm through-rod over a 225 mm stroke, which exceeds the 200 mm standard limit for this bore, so this length is made to order. The male B-code rod thread bolts straight to tooling, and the back-end rod can carry a sensor flag or a second load.
The hard-anodized aluminium body keeps the mounting length roughly 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight gantries and guarding. Note this model is discontinued: the current-production direct is the ACED32X225, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED32X225B (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 ACPD32X225B Is Used
Reciprocating print-head carrier
The through-rod resists rotation and side load on a pad-printing head, and the 345.6 N bidirectional force keeps return strokes as crisp as the forward stroke over the 225 mm travel.
Twin-sided clamp fixture
A rod on each cover lets one cylinder clamp a machined aluminium bracket from both sides with equal 483.8 N force at 0.7 MPa, halving the actuator count on the jig.
Pusher with back-end flag
On a bottling line reject pusher, the rear rod carries a flag for a DMSE switch (when the -S magnet is ordered) while the front rod pushes cartons at up to 500 mm/s.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X225B with the ACED32X225B
Size the job first: at 0.5 MPa the smaller ACPD25X225B delivers 206.2 N both ways, while the ACPD40X225B steps up to 571.8 N. If your fixture needs a held load when air is lost, this cylinder will drift - pair it with a rod lock or pilot check valve instead of relying on the cylinder. The 225 mm stroke is a made-to-order length for bore 32, and the FA/FB flange or LB foot mountings carry over. This unit has no magnet; order the -S code if you need CMSE or DMSE switch positions. For new builds, specify the ACED32X225 instead, as the ACPD line is discontinued.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED32X225B
- ✓ 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 ACPD32X225B FAQ
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, output is identical on both strokes: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, both ways, with a maximum of 70.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the 225 mm stroke is a made-to-order length above the 200 mm standard for bore 32.
The ACPD family is no longer in production. The current direct is the ACED32X225 - swap the P for an E - which matches the same bore, stroke and force class in the ISO 21287 short-body format. Since the ACP was built to a DIN-standard footprint, verify the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions and the male rod thread interface against your fixture before ordering.
