This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED32X45, 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 ACPD32X45
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X45 is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 45mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED32X45 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X45
This double acting compact cylinder pushes a 12 mm rod out of BOTH covers, so the 32 mm bore delivers 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa in either direction - the rod-side area is the same on each stroke. At 0.7 MPa that rises to 483.8 N, and the through-rod resists rotation and side load while the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it fits tight jigs, guards and gantries.
Built on a hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod, a fixed TPU bumper at each end and 1/8" PT ports, it runs at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and 30-500 mm/s. Note: this model is discontinued - the current-production direct is the ACED32X45, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. The magnet is not fitted on this code; order the -S version if you need CMSE / DMSE switches.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED32X45 (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 ACPD32X45 Is Used
Fixture clamping on CNC pallets
The 345.6 N through-rod clamps aluminium housings from both sides of a machining fixture, with the rear rod carrying a flag for a switch when -S is ordered.
Push-pull indexing on small conveyors
Equal force both ways makes the 45 mm stroke ideal for reciprocating stops and part pushers on electronics assembly lines at 30-500 mm/s.
Dual-position gate on packaging machines
A rod exiting each cover lets one cylinder drive a diverter gate and trigger a position signal from the back rod on carton-forming equipment.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X45 with the ACED32X45
At 345.6 N per side, bore 32 suits clamping and transfer jobs in the 200-350 N band. If your load is lighter, bore 25 gives 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa; if you need more, bore 40 reaches 571.8 N. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put. FA/FB flange and LB foot mountings bolt to the standard face, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE position switches. Since ACPD is discontinued, spec the ACED32X45 as the current equivalent and verify the ISO 21287 footprint.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED32X45
- ✓ 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 ACPD32X45 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, with a maximum of 70.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, speed 30-500 mm/s, and the bore 32 port is 1/8" PT with an M8x1.25 female rod thread.
The ACED32X45 is the current-production successor - swap the P for an E and you get the same 32 mm bore, 45 mm stroke and force class in the short ISO 21287 body. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before ordering, since the ACPD was built to the older DIN-standard compact pattern.
