This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED32X5B, 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 ACPD32X5B
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X5B is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 5mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED32X5B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X5B
Double acting with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD32X5B delivers an identical 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa (483.8 N at 0.7 MPa) in each direction, since both strokes work on the rod-side area of the 32 mm piston. The 5 mm stroke suits tiny clamp-and-release motions, and the male rod thread (B code) on each end bolts straight to tooling. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed range 30-500 mm/s, ports are 1/8".
The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into cramped fixtures and guarding. The through-rod resists rotation and side load, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag; a fixed TPU bumper sits at each end. Note this model is discontinued - the current-production successor is the ACED32X5, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED32X5B (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 ACPD32X5B Is Used
Micro clamping on a PCB test fixture
The 5 mm stroke and 345.6 N both-ways force are enough to seat and release a spring-loaded locator on a circuit-board test nest, with the male thread picking up the clamp arm directly.
Flag carrier for position sensing
The rear rod on this through-rod cylinder can hold a sensor flag, letting a machine controller confirm end-of-stroke on short indexing moves at up to 500 mm/s.
Eject pin on a small assembly press
A 32 mm double-rod unit nudges finished parts off a nest in a compact bench-top assembly station, where the short body fits under a low guard.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X5B with the ACED32X5B
At 345.6 N per direction at 0.5 MPa, this bore sits between the 25 mm (206.2 N) and 40 mm (571.8 N) double-rod versions - step down for lighter pick-and-place, up if the part weight grows. The 5 mm stroke is well inside the 200 mm standard range for bore 32. Because the piston drifts when air is lost, add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put. This unit has no magnet; order the -S code if CMSE / DMSE switches are needed later. For new designs, specify the ACED32X5 instead - it is the current direct for this discontinued model.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED32X5B
- ✓ 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 ACPD32X5B FAQ
Yes - it is a double-rod cylinder, so force is equal both ways: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum of about 70.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the bore 32 port size is 1/8".
AirTAC no longer produces the ACPD family. The current direct is the ACED32X5 (swap the P for an E), an ISO 21287 compact cylinder in the same bore, stroke and force class. Check the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before swapping, since the ACP was built to the DIN standard. If you need position switches, order the -S magnet code so CMSE / DMSE sensors can be used.
