This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED32X40S, 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 ACPD32X40S
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X40S is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 40mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED32X40S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X40S
Double acting with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD32X40S pushes and pulls with identical force: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction, because both strokes work on the rod-side area of the 32 mm bore. The through-rod resists rotation and light side load, gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. A fixed TPU bumper sits at each end, and speed spans 30-500 mm/s on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs and gantries. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE switches can be mounted directly. Note the ACPD family is discontinued; the current direct is ACED32X40, and you should confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED32X40S (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 ACPD32X40S Is Used
Two-sided jig clamping
The 40 mm stroke and equal 345.6 N force in both directions let one fixture clamp a machined aluminium bracket from either side without re-plumbing.
Reciprocating slide drive
A packaging line shuttle driven by the through-rod gets identical thrust on forward and return strokes at speeds up to 500 mm/s, keeping cycle timing symmetric.
Position-flagged gate actuator
With the -S magnet fitted, CMSE or DMSE switches on the tube report end positions of a small inspection gate, while the rear rod carries a mechanical flag.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X40S with the ACED32X40S
For a 40 mm stroke in the 32 mm class, expect 345.6 N both ways at 0.5 MPa; step down to ACPD25 (206.2 N) for lighter clamps or up to ACPD40 (571.8 N) if the job needs more push. A plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must be held. FA/FB flange and LB foot mountings bolt to the standard face, and the -S magnet on this unit accepts CMSE / DMSE switches. Since ACPD is discontinued, order ACED32X40 as the current-production equivalent and verify the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED32X40S
- ✓ 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 ACPD32X40S FAQ
No. Because a rod exits both covers, both strokes use the rod-side area, so force is equal in both directions: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa. At 1.0 MPa the bore reaches a maximum of 70.5 kgf. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure.
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 FA/FB flange or LB foot options and an M8x1.25 female rod thread. Each end carries a fixed TPU bumper that only decelerates the piston at stroke ends; it never holds or brakes a load. This model includes the optional -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches, and since ACPD is discontinued, ACED32X40 is the current replacement - confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before converting.
