This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED32X30, 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 ACPD32X30
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X30 is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 30mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED32X30 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X30
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD32X30 delivers an identical 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa in each direction because both strokes work on the rod-side area. The 32 mm bore pushes 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa either way, so no direction is weaker. Its hard-anodized aluminium body keeps the mounting length roughly 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it suits tight jigs and guarding where a full-length body cannot fit.
The through-rod resists rotation and light side load and gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. A fixed TPU bumper sits at each end. Note that this model is discontinued: the current-production direct is the ISO 21287 ACED32X30, so confirm mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED32X30 (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 ACPD32X30 Is Used
Push-pull fixture clamping
The 30 mm stroke clamps and releases a machined aluminium bracket in one cycle, with 345.6 N available on both the clamp and return stroke at 0.5 MPa.
Bidirectional gate indexing
A rear rod on the through-rod drives a sensor flag while the front rod advances a sliding gate on a bottling line conveyor, both directions at equal force.
Press-off ejection
Ejects a formed plastic cap from a shallow mold cavity in a packaging machine, using about 207 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa within the 30 mm travel.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X30 with the ACED32X30
At 345.6 N per direction at 0.5 MPa, the 32 mm bore sits between the 25 mm bore (206.2 N) and the 40 mm bore (571.8 N) - choose down if the load is under about 120 N, up if you need over 400 N. The piston does not hold position when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check for a suspended load. This code has no magnet; order the -S variant if you need CMSE or DMSE switches. FA/FB flange and LB foot brackets bolt to the same face. Since ACPD is discontinued, specify the ACED32X30 and verify ISO 21287 dimensions.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED32X30
- ✓ 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 ACPD32X30 FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, force is equal in both directions: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, both measured on the rod-side area. Maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 70.5 kgf. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end.
The hard-anodized aluminium body follows the short DIN-standard format, saving roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with FA/FB flange and LB foot options and an M8x1.25 female rod thread. The ACPD32X30 is discontinued; the current-production direct is the ACED32X30 in the ISO 21287 series - confirm its mounting dimensions before ordering.
