This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED32X25B, 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 ACPD32X25B
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X25B is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 25mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED32X25B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X25B
Double acting with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD32X25B is a DIN-standard compact cylinder in the discontinued ACPD family. Because each side of the piston sees the rod-side area, it delivers an identical 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa (483.8 N at 0.7 MPa) in both directions - no push/pull imbalance to compensate for. The 12 mm through-rod resists rotation and side load, and the rear rod stub can carry a sensor flag. Its hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-500 mm/s.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so the 25 mm stroke fits tight jigs and guarding where a full-length body cannot. Fixed TPU bumpers pad both ends of travel. Note: this model is discontinued; the current-production direct is ACED32X25, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED32X25B (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 ACPD32X25B Is Used
Symmetric fixture clamping
The equal 345.6 N force in both directions lets one cylinder clamp and release a machined part with identical grip on a CNC fixture plate.
Reciprocating slide drive
A rod on each cover balances a 25 mm-stroke linear slide, with the rear rod available to trip a flag or position sensor.
Push-pull packaging gate
The through-rod drives a diverting gate on a packaging line both ways at the same 345.6 N, keeping product timing consistent at 30-500 mm/s.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X25B with the ACED32X25B
At 345.6 N per direction at 0.5 MPa, this 32 mm bore sits between the 25 mm ACPD (206.2 N) and the 40 mm ACPD (571.8 N) - step down for lighter clamping, up for heavier presses. The male rod thread (B code) suits externally threaded rod accessories; the port is 1/8" PT. This unit has no magnet, so CMSE or DMSE switches cannot be used - order the -S variant if position sensing is needed. Mount with FA/FB flange or LB foot brackets. A plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check for a held load. Replacement: ACED32X25.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED32X25B
- ✓ 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 ACPD32X25B FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design exposes the rod-side area on both strokes, so force 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 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, bore 32 mm, rod 12 mm, port 1/8" PT, male rod thread (B code).
Order the ACED32X25, the current-production ISO 21287 successor made by swapping the P for an E. It matches the same 32 mm bore, 25 mm stroke and force class, but because the ACP is DIN-standard you should confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before swapping. If you need switch feedback, choose an ACED variant ordered with the optional -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE sensors.
