This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED32X50S, 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 ACPD32X50S
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X50S 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 ACED32X50S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X50S
Double acting with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD32X50S pushes and pulls with identical force - 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa in each direction, because both strokes work on the rod-side area of the 32 mm bore. The 50 mm through-rod is 12 mm hard-chrome S45C, resists rotation and side load, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. This unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches mount directly on the body.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into tight jigs, guarding and gantries. A fixed TPU bumper sits at each end, and the hard-anodized aluminium body runs 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at 30-500 mm/s. Note: this model is discontinued - the current-production direct is ACED32X50, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED32X50S (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 ACPD32X50S Is Used
Two-sided fixture clamping
The 50 mm through-rod clamps a machined aluminium bracket from both covers at once, delivering 345.6 N per side at 0.5 MPa on a CNC jig.
Gated conveyor diverter
With the -S magnet fitted, CMSE switches report gate position on a packaging line while the double rod keeps the pusher bar square at 30-500 mm/s.
Symmetric slide actuation
A rear rod drives a position flag on a small assembly-station slide, where equal 483.8 N force in both directions at 0.7 MPa keeps stroke timing identical.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X50S with the ACED32X50S
At 345.6 N per side at 0.5 MPa, this bore sits between the 25 mm ACPD (206.2 N) and the 40 mm ACPD (571.8 N) - step down for lighter clamps, up for heavier presses. The through-rod suits symmetric mounts and flag-driven sensing; FA/FB flange or LB foot brackets bolt to the ISO 21287 face. It does not hold position when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check for a suspended load. Order ACED32X50 as the current replacement and verify mounting dimensions.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED32X50S
- ✓ 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 ACPD32X50S FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design means both strokes use the rod-side area, so force is equal either way: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa, 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, and 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, at 30-500 mm/s.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end and FA/FB flange or LB foot mounting. The ACPD family is discontinued; the current-production direct is ACED32X50 (same bore, stroke and force class) - confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
