This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED32X40SB, 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 ACPD32X40SB
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X40SB 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 ACED32X40SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X40SB
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD32X40SB pushes and pulls with identical output: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction, since both strokes work on the rod-side area of the 32 mm bore. The male rod thread (B code) and the fitted -S magnet make it ready for CMSE or DMSE switches straight out of the box. Its hard-anodized aluminium body runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), with speeds of 30-500 mm/s and a fixed TPU bumper at each end.
The through-rod is the practical advantage here: it resists rotation and light side load, gives a symmetric mount on the ISO 21287 face, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag or a second tool. Note that this model is discontinued; the current-production direct is ACED32X40, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED32X40SB (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 ACPD32X40SB Is Used
Reciprocating parts transfer
The rear rod drives a return flag or gripper while the front rod pushes PCB trays between two test stations on an electronics line, with identical 345.6 N force in each direction.
Symmetric press fixture
A small benchtop staking jig uses both rod ends to center a connector housing, relying on the through-rod to resist rotation at 30-500 mm/s cycle speeds.
Position-monitored gate
With the -S magnet already fitted, CMSE switches confirm open and closed positions of a guarding slide on a packaging machine, backed by the fixed TPU bumpers at both ends.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X40SB with the ACED32X40SB
At 345.6 N per side, this 32 mm bore sits between the 25 mm bore (206.2 N) and the 40 mm bore (571.8 N) in the same compact family. Choose the 40 mm bore if your jig needs headroom above 500 N; stay at 32 mm when the 40 mm body will not fit the envelope. The 40 mm stroke is well inside the 200 mm standard limit for this bore, so no made-to-order build is needed. Because a plain through-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put. Order the ACED32X40 for new projects, and match FA/FB flange or LB foot brackets to the ISO 21287 face.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED32X40SB
- ✓ 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 ACPD32X40SB FAQ
Yes. Because a rod exits both covers, both strokes use the rod-side area of the 32 mm bore: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, equal push and pull. At the full 1.0 MPa rating the peak is 70.5 kgf. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, and speed spans 30-500 mm/s.
Order the ACED32X40, the ISO 21287 successor made by swapping the P for an E. It matches the same 32 mm bore, 40 mm stroke and force class with a short body that saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before the swap, since the ACP was built to a DIN-standard footprint, and re-check the FA/FB or LB bracket fit.
