This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED32X250B, 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 ACPD32X250B
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X250B 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 ACED32X250B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X250B
This is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder: a piston rod leaves both covers, so the through-rod pushes with the same 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa (483.8 N at 0.7 MPa) in either direction, since both strokes work on the rod-side area. The male-threaded rod end (B code) bolts straight to I/Y knuckles, and the far-end rod can carry a sensor flag or a second load. The 250 mm stroke is longer than the 200 mm standard limit for a 32 mm bore, so it is a made-to-order build.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with S45C hard-chrome rod runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-500 mm/s, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end. The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which matters on a 250 mm stroke inside a tight gantry. Note the model is discontinued: the current direct is the ACED32X250, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED32X250B (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 ACPD32X250B Is Used
Reciprocating transfer arm
The through-rod pushes a sliding pallet both ways with the same 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa, so no direction-dependent tuning is needed on a 250 mm shuttle stroke.
Dual-end flag position check
The rear rod carries a cam flag into a proximity switch while the front rod does the work, giving a positive end-position signal on packaging lines.
Symmetric press fixture
Equal rod-side force in both directions suits a light stamping or marking jig that must return a part carrier with the same thrust, at about 21 kg vertical lift equivalent.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X250B with the ACED32X250B
Size both ways: a 25 mm bore double-rod unit gives 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa, while a 40 mm bore reaches 571.8 N, so pick the 32 mm when your fixture needs that middle band with equal force both ways. Because a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, add a rod lock or pilot check for held loads. FA/FB flange and LB foot mountings bolt to the ISO 21287 face; the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches, and this code has no magnet fitted. This model is discontinued - order the ACED32X250 as the current-production replacement.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED32X250B
- ✓ 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 ACPD32X250B FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, force is equal both ways: 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. The 250 mm stroke exceeds the 200 mm standard limit for a 32 mm bore, so it is made to order. The cylinder is discontinued; the ACED32X250 is the current replacement.
The B code gives a male rod thread on a 12 mm S45C hard-chrome rod; the 1/8" PT ports suit this bore. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries FA/FB flange or LB foot mountings, and a fixed TPU bumper sits at each end. Switches need the optional -S magnet code with CMSE / DMSE sensors - this unit has no magnet, so no switch can be mounted on it.
