This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED32X30SB, 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 ACPD32X30SB
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X30SB 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 ACED32X30SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X30SB
A double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to the DIN-standard ACP format, the ACPD32X30SB pushes a 12 mm rod out of BOTH covers, so thrust is identical on every stroke: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, either direction. Its 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 welding jigs and pick-and-place gantries. The B code gives a male rod thread and the S code fits the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clipped on for end-of-stroke sensing.
The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a fixed TPU bumper at each end, the S45C hard-chrome rod resists wear, and the through-rod doubles as a rotation-resistant guide or a sensor-flag carrier at the rear. Note this model is discontinued: the current-production direct is the ACED32X30, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED32X30SB (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 ACPD32X30SB Is Used
Two-sided jig clamping
The rear rod clamps a fixture nest while the front rod ejects the finished bracket, both at 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa - one cylinder, two working ends on a machining line.
Conveyor gate diverter
A 30 mm stroke is enough to swing a diverter gate between two chute lanes on a bottling line, and the symmetric through-rod keeps the gate blade square under side load.
Position-flag sensing station
With the -S magnet fitted, CMSE or DMSE switches confirm end positions, while the back-end rod carries a cam flag to trigger a vision check on an electronics assembly cell.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X30SB with the ACED32X30SB
At 345.6 N per side at 0.5 MPa, the 32 mm bore sits between the 25 mm (206.2 N) and 40 mm (571.8 N) double-rod versions - step down when the load is light, step up for heavier clamping. The 30 mm stroke is well inside the 200 mm standard range for this bore, so no made-to-order build is needed. Remember a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost; add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put. This unit already carries the optional -S magnet and male rod thread; FA/FB flange or LB foot brackets bolt to the ISO 21287 face. Order the ACED32X30 as the current replacement and verify mounting dimensions.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED32X30SB
- ✓ 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 ACPD32X30SB FAQ
Yes - because a rod exits both covers, both strokes use the rod-side area. Output is 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction, with a peak of 70.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, port 1/8" PT, male rod thread, fixed TPU bumper at both ends.
Order the ACED32X30, the current-production ISO 21287 replacement made by swapping the P for an E. It matches the same 32 mm bore, 30 mm stroke and double-rod force class, and accepts the same FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis and SDB pivot family plus CMSE / DMSE switches when the -S magnet is specified. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before swapping, since the ACP was built to a DIN-standard footprint.
