This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED32X50SB, 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 ACPD32X50SB
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X50SB 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 ACED32X50SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X50SB
Double acting with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD32X50SB is a DIN-standard compact cylinder whose 32 mm bore delivers 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa in each direction, because both strokes work on the rod-side area. The 50 mm stroke moves at 30-500 mm/s on air filtered to 40 um, within a 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) operating band and a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof rating. The B code gives a male rod thread, and the S code means the optional -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clipped on for end-of-stroke signalling.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with S45C hard-chrome rod is an ISO 21287 short build that saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into tight jigs, guards and gantries. Fixed TPU bumpers sit at both ends. Note that this model is discontinued: the current-production direct is the ACED32X50, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED32X50SB (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 ACPD32X50SB Is Used
Fixture clamping on CNC pallets
The 345.6 N both-ways force clamps a machined housing from either side, and the 50 mm stroke clears the pallet for loading between cycles.
Bidirectional pusher on packaging lines
Equal force in both directions lets one cylinder divert cartons left or right on a conveyor without reversing the supply circuit.
Position feedback on assembly stations
With the fitted -S magnet, CMSE or DMSE switches confirm full advance and retract on a screw-driving or press-fit station.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X50SB with the ACED32X50SB
Size both ways before committing: the 25 mm bore gives 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa and the 40 mm bore gives 571.8 N, so the 32 mm bore at 345.6 N sits between them for medium clamping and transfer loads. Because the through-rod exits both covers, the rear rod can carry a sensor flag or a second tool, and the symmetric mount resists rotation and side load. FA/FB flange or LB foot brackets bolt to the ISO 21287 face. A plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put. This ACPD is discontinued - order the ACED32X50 as the current replacement and verify mounting dimensions.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED32X50SB
- ✓ 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 ACPD32X50SB 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, both ways, on the rod-side area. At 1.0 MPa the 32 mm bore reaches 70.5 kgf maximum.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits shallow fixtures and guards. FA/FB flange and LB foot brackets bolt to the standard face, the 12 mm rod ends in a male thread (B code), and the fitted -S magnet accepts CMSE / DMSE switches. This model is discontinued - the ACED32X50 is the current direct.
