This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED32X275, 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.

The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X275 is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 275mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED32X275 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.
This ACPD32X275 is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder in the discontinued AirTAC ACP family: a rod exits both covers, so the through-rod pushes and pulls with identical force of 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa (483.8 N at 0.7 MPa) in either direction. The 32 mm bore runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof tested to 1.5 MPa (215 psi), with speed range 30-500 mm/s and a fixed TPU bumper at each end. Its 275 mm stroke is longer than the 200 mm standard limit for this bore, so it is a made-to-order build.
The hard-anodized aluminium body keeps the ISO 21287 short format, saving roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which helps when a long-stroke actuator must still fit a tight gantry or guard. The rear rod is handy for carrying a sensor flag or balancing side load, and the female M8x1.25 rod thread accepts standard knuckles. Note there is no magnet fitted; the optional -S code adds one for CMSE / DMSE switches. This model is discontinued; the current direct is ACED32X275 - confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED32X275 (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.
| 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).
| ACPD | DIN compact cylinder (double-rod, discontinued). |
|---|---|
| 32 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×275 | Stroke length in mm. |
| S | Optional built-in magnet for sensor position sensing (omit for no magnet). |
| B | Rod type: B = male thread; blank = female thread. |
Replacement mapping (swap P for E): ACP→ACE, ASP→ASE, ATP→ATE, ACPD→ACED, ACPJ→ACEJ. ACP-family: ACP (double acting), ASP / ATP (single acting push / pull), ACPD (double rod), ACPJ (double rod, adjustable stroke).
The through-rod pushes cartons off a belt then retracts with the same 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa, so one valve setting works for both strokes on a packaging line.
The rear rod on this 275 mm stroke unit can carry a trip flag past a CMSE switch (with the optional -S magnet) to confirm end positions on an assembly gantry.
Clamping a machined housing in a drill jig needs the same release force as clamp force; the rod-side area on both sides guarantees it, with the TPU bumper softening each end.
Size both ways: if 345.6 N per side at 0.5 MPa is more than the job needs, the ACPD25 at 206.2 N is lighter on air; if you need headroom, the ACPD40 delivers 571.8 N. Remember a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check for held loads. FA/FB flange and LB foot mountings bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switch sensing. Since this 275 mm stroke is non-standard and the model is discontinued, order the ACED32X275 and confirm the ISO 21287 dimensions.
Replacement checklist
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 per direction, with a maximum of 70.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the 275 mm stroke is a made-to-order length above the 200 mm standard for this bore.
Sensing requires the optional -S magnet code; without it no magnet is fitted and CMSE / DMSE switches cannot be used. The ACPD family is discontinued, so for new builds order the ACED32X275 - the same bore, stroke and force class in the current ISO 21287 ACE series - and confirm the mounting dimensions before the swap.
