This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED32X30S, 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 ACPD32X30S
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X30S 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 ACED32X30S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X30S
Double acting with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD32X30S pushes and pulls with identical output: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction, because each stroke works on the rod-side area of the 32 mm piston. The 12 mm through-rod resists rotation and side load, gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. This unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clipped on for end-of-stroke signalling.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into tight jigs, guarding and gantries. A fixed TPU bumper sits at both ends to soften arrival, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s over 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi). Note that the piston drifts if air is lost, so use a rod lock or pilot check where a load must be held. The ACPD family is discontinued: the current-production direct is the ACED32X30, and you should confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED32X30S (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).

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).
Where the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X30S Is Used
Symmetric jig clamping
The equal 345.6 N force in both directions lets one cylinder clamp from either side of a machining fixture without recalculating push versus pull.
Two-way product pusher
On a bottling line transfer table, the through-rod drives a pusher plate forward and back with identical 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, keeping cycle timing symmetric.
Position-flagged gate control
With the -S magnet fitted, CMSE or DMSE switches on the 32 mm barrel confirm gate open and closed states on a packaging interlock at 30-500 mm/s.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X30S with the ACED32X30S
At 345.6 N per side at 0.5 MPa, the 32 mm bore suits clamping and transfer jobs in the 20 kg vertical-lift class with margin. Step down to the 25 mm bore (206.2 N) for lighter fixtures, or up to 40 mm (571.8 N) if the part weight grows. The 30 mm stroke sits well inside the 200 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore. If the load must stay put on air loss, add a rod lock or pilot check rather than relying on the cylinder itself. Mount with FA/FB flange or LB foot hardware, and remember this model is discontinued - order the ACED32X30 as the current equivalent after confirming ISO 21287 dimensions.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED32X30S
- ✓ 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 ACPD32X30S FAQ
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, force is equal both ways: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa in each 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), and speed 30-500 mm/s.
The hard-anodized aluminium body follows the short ISO 21287-class format, saving about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end and a female M8x1.25 rod thread. The ACPD series is discontinued; the ACED32X30 is the current direct successor in the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before ordering.
