This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED32X45B, 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 ACPD32X45B
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X45B 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 ACED32X45B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X45B
Double acting with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD32X45B delivers an identical 345.6 N in each direction at 0.5 MPa (483.8 N at 0.7 MPa), because both strokes work on the rod-side area of the 32 mm bore. The male rod thread (B code) on each 12 mm rod bolts straight to tooling, and the through-rod doubles as a rotation-resistant guide or a back-end sensor flag carrier. This model is discontinued; the current-production successor is the ACED32X45.
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 guarding where a full-length body will not reach. FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot and FTC brackets all bolt to the standard face. A fixed TPU bumper sits at each end, and since no S code is ordered there is no magnet, so CMSE or DMSE switches cannot be fitted on this version. Expect about 208 N (roughly 21 kg) of usable vertical force at 0.5 MPa when you plan for a real margin.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED32X45B (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 ACPD32X45B Is Used
Symmetric press fixture
The 345.6 N equal output in both directions suits a small bench press that must clamp and retract with identical force on plastic housings.
Reciprocating conveyor diverter
A rod on each end lets the through-rod push a package lane over at 30-500 mm/s and carry a guide roller on the rear rod.
Gantry pick station
The short body fits under a low gantry beam, and the back rod can hold a flag for a switch when the -S magnet version is ordered.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X45B with the ACED32X45B
Size between neighbours: the 25 mm bore gives 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa if your load is lighter, while the 40 mm bore reaches 571.8 N for heavier clamping. The 45 mm stroke sits well inside the 200 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it is a catalogue item. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. Order the -S code instead if position sensing with CMSE / DMSE switches matters. For new designs, specify the ACED32X45 and confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED32X45B
- ✓ 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 ACPD32X45B FAQ
Yes. Because a rod exits both covers, both strokes use the rod-side area: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, equal in push and pull. At 1.0 MPa the peak is 70.5 kgf. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end.
Order the ACED32X45, the current ISO 21287 replacement: swap the P for an E and you keep the same 32 mm bore, 45 mm stroke and force class. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture first, since the ACP was built to the DIN standard. Also note this unit has no magnet; the optional -S code is what enables CMSE / DMSE switches.
