This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED32X250SB, 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 ACPD32X250SB
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X250SB 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 ACED32X250SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X250SB
A double acting compact cylinder with a through rod, the ACPD32X250SB 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 of the 32 mm bore. The 12 mm rod exits both covers, so the rear rod can carry a sensor flag or a second tool while the front rod does the work. This unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clipped straight onto the body.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is how a 250 mm stroke fits into a tight jig or gantry. The 250 mm stroke is beyond the 200 mm standard maximum for bore 32, so it is a made-to-order build. Note this model is discontinued: the current-production direct is the ACED32X250 (swap the P for an E), and you should confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED32X250SB (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 ACPD32X250SB Is Used
Reciprocating test rig
The through rod drives a fixture forward and back with identical 345.6 N force in each direction, ideal for repeated push-pull endurance testing of small assemblies.
Flag-driven position feedback
With the -S magnet fitted, CMSE / DMSE switches read end-of-stroke on the 250 mm travel, and the rear rod can carry a second flag for mid-stroke sensing on a packaging line.
Vertical press station
The rear rod doubles as a guide point while the front rod presses connectors home; at 0.7 MPa the 483.8 N both-ways output suits light staking and snap-fit work.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X250SB with the ACED32X250SB
At 345.6 N per side at 0.5 MPa, this bore sits between the 25 mm (206.2 N) and 40 mm (571.8 N) ACPD sizes - step up to 40 mm if your tooling needs more margin, or down to 25 mm for lighter pick-and-place. The male rod thread (B code) suits externally threaded rod accessories. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, ports 1/8". A plain through-rod cylinder will not hold position if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check for a held load. Since ACPD is discontinued, order the ACED32X250 as the current ISO 21287 replacement and verify mounting dimensions against your fixture.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED32X250SB
- ✓ 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 ACPD32X250SB FAQ
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, output is equal both ways: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa on every stroke (rod-side area of the 32 mm bore). Maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 70.5 kgf. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, port 1/8".
No - bore 32 tops out at 200 mm as a standard stroke, so 250 mm is a made-to-order build. The ACPD family is discontinued; the current-production successor is the ACED32X250 (swap the P for an E), an ISO 21287 compact cylinder in the same bore, stroke and force class. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before swapping. This unit has the -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches and a male rod thread.
