This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED32X250, 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 ACPD32X250
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X250 is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 250mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED32X250 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X250
This is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder: a piston rod exits both covers of the hard-anodized aluminium body, so thrust is identical on the extend and retract strokes - 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa on the 32 mm bore. The through-rod resists rotation and side load, gives a symmetric mounting face, and lets the rear rod carry a sensor flag. A fixed TPU bumper sits at each end, and travel speed spans 30-500 mm/s.
The 250 mm travel is beyond the 200 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it is a made-to-order build. Because the short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, it slots into tight gantries and guarding. Note this model is discontinued; the current direct is ACED32X250 - confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED32X250 (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 ACPD32X250 Is Used
Reciprocating transfer arm
The through-rod drives a workpiece carrier forward and back on a small assembly line, with equal 345.6 N thrust in each direction at 0.5 MPa and the rear rod available for a position flag.
Test rig push-pull station
A lab fatigue tester uses the symmetric rod to load a specimen alternately from each side, relying on identical rod-side force both ways and the fixed TPU bumpers at each end of travel.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X250 with the ACED32X250
Size both ways: if 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa is more than your fixture needs, the 25 mm bore delivers 206.2 N in the same compact family; if you need headroom, the 40 mm bore reaches 571.8 N with the same 1/8" port. Remember that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put. Mounting brackets (FA/FB flange, LB foot and the rest of the range) bolt to the standard face, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches - without -S there is no magnet. Order ACED32X250 as the current-production replacement.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED32X250
- ✓ 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 ACPD32X250 FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, both strokes use the rod-side area, so force is equal in both directions: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa on the 32 mm bore, 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), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the port is 1/8" (PT thread).
The standard stroke limit for the 32 mm bore is 200 mm, so 250 mm is a non-standard, made-to-order build with a longer lead time - confirm availability with AirtacDistr. Also note this ACPD model is discontinued: the current-production replacement is ACED32X250, a direct in the same bore, stroke and force class, but you should verify the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
