This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED32X45SB, 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 ACPD32X45SB
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X45SB 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 ACED32X45SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X45SB
Double acting with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD32X45SB 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 side load, gives a symmetric mount, and lets the rear rod carry a sensor flag, while fixed TPU bumpers at each end take the end-of-stroke hit. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
This is a DIN-standard compact body in hard-anodized aluminium with an S45C hard-chrome rod, and its short build saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs and guarding. At 0.5 MPa, plan on roughly 207 N (about 21 kg) of usable vertical work rather than the full 345.6 N rating. Note the model is discontinued: the current-production direct is ACED32X45 in the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED32X45SB (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 ACPD32X45SB Is Used
Two-sided jig clamping
The through-rod lets one cylinder clamp a machined aluminium bracket from both sides at 345.6 N each way, halving valve count on a drilling fixture.
Conveyor part diverter
Equal push and pull at 483.8 N (0.7 MPa) swings a pusher blade across a packaging line belt in both directions with the same cycle force.
Flag-driven position feedback
With the -S magnet fitted, a CMSE switch on the body and a flag on the rear rod confirm retract on an electronics assembly press slide.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X45SB with the ACED32X45SB
For a 45 mm stroke job needing about 345.6 N both ways, this 32 mm bore fits; drop to ACPD25X45 (206.2 N) if the load is lighter, or step up to ACPD40X45 (571.8 N) for more margin. The 45 mm stroke sits well inside the 200 mm maximum standard stroke for bore 32. This unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches can be added, and the male rod thread (B code) suits I/Y knuckles on the ISO 21287 face. A plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check for held loads. Replacement: ACED32X45.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED32X45SB
- ✓ 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 ACPD32X45SB 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, on the rod-side area of the 32 mm bore. Maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 70.5 kgf. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and speed 30-500 mm/s.
The ISO 21287-class short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a hard-anodized aluminium body and fixed TPU bumpers at both ends. FA/FB flanges, LB feet, CA/CB clevises, SDB pivots and FTC brackets bolt straight to the face. This model has the male rod thread (B) and the optional -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches. It is discontinued - the direct is ACED32X45; confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
