This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED32X25SB, 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 ACPD32X25SB
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X25SB 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 ACED32X25SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X25SB
Double acting with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD32X25SB is a DIN-standard compact cylinder in the discontinued ACPD family. Because each stroke works on the rod-side area, it delivers an identical 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction - there is no stronger push than pull. The B code gives a male 12 mm rod thread, and the 1/8" port suits the 32 mm bore. It runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), from -20 to +70 C, at 30-500 mm/s.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs and guarding. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE switches can read position, and a fixed TPU bumper sits at each end. Production has ended: the current direct is the ACED32X25, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED32X25SB (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 ACPD32X25SB Is Used
Reciprocating transfer slide
A 25 mm through-rod stroke shuttles small electronics trays between two pick points on a benchtop conveyor; equal 345.6 N force in both directions keeps return speed identical to extend, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag.
Symmetric press or clamp fixture
On a PCB test rig, the double rod clamps a fixture from either side with the same 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, so the jig designer uses one force figure for both faces instead of calculating push and pull separately.
Position-monitored gate on a filling line
A packaging machine's diverter gate uses the fitted -S magnet with CMSE switches to confirm open and closed positions, while the fixed TPU bumpers tame the 30-500 mm/s travel at each end of the 25 mm stroke.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X25SB with the ACED32X25SB
If 345.6 N per side at 0.5 MPa is more than the job needs, the ACPD25X25 delivers about 206.2 N both ways in the same short body; if you need roughly 571.8 N, step up to the ACPD40X25. Remember that a plain through-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put. FA/FB flange and LB foot mountings bolt to the standard face, and this -S version already carries the magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches. For new builds, order the ACED32X25 instead: same bore, stroke and force class, currently in production.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED32X25SB
- ✓ 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 ACPD32X25SB FAQ
It is a double-rod, double-acting cylinder, so force is equal both ways: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa per side, with a maximum of 70.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Both strokes use the rod-side area because a 12 mm rod exits each cover. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, port 1/8".
AirTAC no longer produces the ACPD family. The current direct is the ACED32X25 (swap the P for an E), an ISO 21287 compact cylinder in the same bore, stroke and force class with a matching mounting family. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before swapping, since the ACP follows the older DIN-standard layout.
