This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED32X45S, 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 ACPD32X45S
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X45S 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 ACED32X45S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X45S
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD32X45S pushes and pulls with the same 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa (483.8 N at 0.7 MPa), because each stroke works on the rod-side area. The through-rod resists rotation and light side load, gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. This unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount directly on the body. Its 45 mm stroke sits well inside the 200 mm standard range for the 32 mm bore.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it suits tight jigs, guards and gantries. FA/FB flange and LB foot brackets plus I/Y rod knuckles bolt straight to the face. Note this model is discontinued: the current-production direct is ACED32X45, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED32X45S (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 ACPD32X45S Is Used
Symmetric fixture clamping
The 345.6 N output in both directions lets one cylinder clamp and release a machined aluminium housing in a CNC jig without reversing the mount.
Push-pull slide transfer
A packaging line slide moves a 15 kg tray back and forth on the through-rod, with the rear rod carrying a DMSE switch flag for end-of-stroke signal.
Indexed gate on an assembly cell
The 45 mm stroke indexes a guarding gate, and the fitted -S magnet feeds CMSE reed switches so the PLC confirms both positions.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X45S with the ACED32X45S
At 345.6 N per side at 0.5 MPa, the 32 mm bore covers medium clamping and transfer tasks; step down to a 25 mm bore (206.2 N) for lighter fixtures or up to 40 mm (571.8 N) for heavier press-fit work. The through-rod keeps force equal in both directions, so size the application on the rod-side figure alone. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost - for a held load add a rod lock or pilot check. If you need position feedback, this S-coded unit already carries the magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches. Since ACPD is discontinued, order ACED32X45 as the current replacement and verify the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED32X45S
- ✓ 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 ACPD32X45S FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, force is equal both ways: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa on each stroke, with a maximum of 70.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and speed range 30-500 mm/s. Air must be filtered to 40 um.
Order ACED32X45, the current-production ISO 21287 successor: swap the P for an E and you get the same 32 mm bore, 45 mm stroke and force class with a matching short body and mounting family. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before the swap, since the ACP was built to a DIN-standard footprint. This model also carries the optional -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches, and its fixed TPU bumpers decelerate the piston at each end.
