This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED32X250S, 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 ACPD32X250S
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X250S 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 ACED32X250S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X250S
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD32X250S pushes and pulls with the same 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa (483.8 N at 0.7 MPa) because both strokes work on the rod-side area. The through-rod resists rotation and side load, gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag, while fixed TPU bumpers at each end take the end-of-stroke shock. This unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clipped on for position feedback.
The 250 mm stroke is beyond the 200 mm standard maximum for the 32 mm bore, so it is a made-to-order build - plan the lead time accordingly. The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it suits tight gantries and guarding. Note this model is discontinued: the current-production direct is the ACED32X250, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED32X250S (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 ACPD32X250S Is Used
Reciprocating transfer gantry
The through-rod gives equal 345.6 N thrust in both directions at 0.5 MPa, ideal for a shuttle that must push a PCB carrier forward and pull it back with identical force over the long 250 mm travel.
Position-monitored clamp fixture
With the -S magnet this unit carries CMSE / DMSE switches at both ends of the 250 mm stroke, so a machining fixture can confirm open and closed states before the spindle starts.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X250S with the ACED32X250S
Pick this model when you need equal force in both directions over a long 250 mm stroke in a short body - the through-rod keeps the tooling square and the rear rod can drive a flag. At 345.6 N per side at 0.5 MPa it sits between the 25 mm bore (206.2 N) and the 40 mm bore (571.8 N), so step up to 40 mm if your load needs more margin. The 250 mm stroke is non-standard for this bore (200 mm max standard), so it is built to order. FA/FB flange or LB foot mounts bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the fitted -S magnet accepts CMSE / DMSE switches. Because a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must be held. For new designs, order the ACED32X250 instead - it is the current replacement in the same bore, stroke and force class.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED32X250S
- ✓ 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 ACPD32X250S FAQ
Output is equal in both directions because the rod-side area works 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. Bore is 32 mm, stroke 250 mm (non-standard; 200 mm is the standard maximum for this bore), rod 12 mm with a female M8x1.25 thread, port 1/8" PT. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C, air filtered to 40 um.
This model is no longer in production. The current direct is the ACED32X250 (swap the P for an E), an ISO 21287 compact double-rod cylinder in the same 32 mm bore, 250 mm stroke and force class. Because the ACP is DIN-standard, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions and port positions against your fixture before swapping. The ACE also accepts FA/FB flange and LB foot mounts, and the -S magnet option pairs with CMSE / DMSE switches the same way.
