This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED32X225S, 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 ACPD32X225S
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X225S 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 ACED32X225S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X225S
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD32X225S 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 in either direction. The 32 mm bore drives a 12 mm through-rod on a 225 mm stroke, which is beyond the 200 mm standard for this bore, so it is made to order. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clipped on for end-of-stroke sensing.
The hard-anodized aluminium body follows the ISO 21287 short format, cutting roughly 50% of the mounting length compared with an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it suits tight jigs and guarded gantries. A fixed TPU bumper sits at each end, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag or a symmetric fixture. Note that this ACPD is discontinued; the current-production direct is the ACED32X225, and you should confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED32X225S (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 ACPD32X225S Is Used
Reciprocating transfer carriage
The through-rod gives equal 345.6 N push and pull at 0.5 MPa, so a shuttle plate on a packaging line accelerates the same in both directions along the 225 mm travel.
Flag-driven position feedback
With the -S magnet fitted, CMSE or DMSE switches on the body track piston position, while the rear rod carries a mechanical flag for a second sensing point on a sorting station.
Guided press-out station
About 207 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa ejects bushings or pins from a drilling fixture, and the symmetric rod mount resists the side load of a slightly misaligned part.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X225S with the ACED32X225S
Size the bore by load: if 345.6 N per direction at 0.5 MPa is more than you need, the 25 mm bore gives 206.2 N; if you need more, the 40 mm bore delivers 571.8 N. Both use the same 1/8" port. Remember that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check for a held load. FA/FB flange and LB foot mountings bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the -S magnet on this unit pairs with CMSE / DMSE switches. For new projects, order the ACED32X225 instead, as this ACPD model is discontinued.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED32X225S
- ✓ 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 ACPD32X225S FAQ
Yes. Because a rod exits both covers, 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. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed is 30-500 mm/s, and the 1/8" port is fixed by the 32 mm bore.
Strokes beyond 200 mm on the 32 mm bore are made to order, so lead time and price differ from catalogue units; confirm the exact length from datasheet before ordering. The ACPD family is discontinued, and the current-production successor is the ACED32X225 in the same bore, stroke and force class. Check the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP was built to a DIN-standard footprint.
