This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED32X30B, 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 ACPD32X30B
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X30B 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 ACED32X30B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X30B
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD32X30B pushes and pulls with identical force: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa in each direction, because both strokes work on the rod-side area of the 32 mm bore. The 12 mm through-rod resists rotation and side load, gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. A fixed TPU bumper sits at each end, speed runs 30-500 mm/s, and pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs and guarding. Note this model is discontinued: the current-production direct is ACED32X30, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED32X30B (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 ACPD32X30B Is Used
Symmetric fixture clamping
The equal 345.6 N force in both directions lets one 30 mm-stroke cylinder clamp and release a machined housing in a CNC fixture without recalibrating for a rod-side force drop.
Reciprocating transfer slide
A 30 mm shuttle stroke on a small assembly line slide, where the rear rod carries a flag past a position switch and the through-rod keeps the toolplate square.
Press-fit ejection
Ejecting bushings from a light press die after a 30 mm ram stroke, using the front rod at 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa while the back rod balances the return.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X30B with the ACED32X30B
At 345.6 N per direction, bore 32 suits clamping and reciprocating tasks in the 20-30 kg lift class; step down to bore 25 (206.2 N) for lighter fixtures or up to bore 40 (571.8 N) when more force is needed. The plain through-rod does not hold position on air loss, so add a rod lock or pilot check for a suspended load. This B-code unit has a male rod thread and PT ports; FA/FB flange or LB foot mounts bolt to the standard face. No magnet is fitted on this code, so CMSE / DMSE switches need the optional -S version. Order ACED32X30 as the current replacement.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED32X30B
- ✓ 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 ACPD32X30B 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 ways, on the 32 mm rod-side area. Maximum output at 1.0 MPa is 70.5 kgf. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof, and speed spans 30-500 mm/s.
No, it is discontinued. The current-production direct is ACED32X30 (swap the P for an E), which matches the same bore, stroke and force class in the short ISO 21287 body. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP series was built to the DIN standard. FA/FB flange and LB foot brackets still bolt to the standard face.
