This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED32X50, 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 ACPD32X50
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X50 is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 50mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED32X50 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X50
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod through both covers, the ACPD32X50 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 50 mm stroke and short ISO 21287 body cut roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight fixtures where a full-length body cannot. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and speed runs 30-500 mm/s.
The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, while the rear rod can carry a sensor flag on a conveyor reject station. Fixed TPU bumpers sit at both ends. Note this model is discontinued: the current-production direct is ACED32X50, same bore, stroke and force class, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. This unit has no magnet; the optional -S code adds one for CMSE / DMSE switches.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED32X50 (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 ACPD32X50 Is Used
Conveyor reject pusher
The 345.6 N through-rod kicks rejected cartons off a packaging line from either side, and the rear rod carries a sensor flag for position feedback.
Fixture clamping on a CNC jig
Equal push and pull at 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa clamps and releases an aluminium workpiece in a machining jig, with the short body fitting under the fixture lid.
Bidirectional gate actuator
A bottling line gate needs identical force both ways; the double rod drives the gate open and closed with one cylinder, no reverse plumbing.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X50 with the ACED32X50
At 345.6 N per side, the 32 mm bore sits between the 25 mm (206.2 N) and 40 mm (571.8 N) options at 0.5 MPa. If your clamp or transfer load needs more than about 207 N of real work, step up to 40 mm; below that, the 25 mm saves space. The through-rod suits symmetric tooling plates and anti-rotation fixtures. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put. Choose FA/FB flange or LB foot mounting to match the ISO 21287 face, and order the -S code if CMSE / DMSE position switches are planned. For new projects, specify ACED32X50, the current replacement.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED32X50
- ✓ 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 ACPD32X50 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. Stroke is 50 mm, rod is 12 mm with an M8x1.25 female thread, and the air port is 1/8". Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and speed is 30-500 mm/s.
No - the ACPD family is discontinued. The current-production direct is ACED32X50 (swap the P for an E), an ISO 21287 compact cylinder in the same bore, stroke and force class. Before swapping, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture, since the ACP was built to the DIN standard. If you need position sensing on the replacement, order the -S magnet code and use CMSE or DMSE switches.
