This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED32X5S, 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 ACPD32X5S
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X5S 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 ACED32X5S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X5S
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod through BOTH covers, the ACPD32X5S delivers 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa in each direction because both strokes work on the rod-side area - never a stronger push than pull. This -S version carries the optional magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clipped on for end-of-stroke detection on the 5 mm travel. The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod runs at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and 30-500 mm/s.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is exactly why a 5 mm nudge stroke like this suits tight indexing fixtures and clamping nests. The through-rod resists rotation and light side load, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag while the front rod does the work. A fixed TPU bumper sits at both ends. Note: this model is discontinued - the current-production direct is the ACED32X5 (same bore, stroke and force class); confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED32X5S (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 ACPD32X5S Is Used
PCB test fixture clamping
A 5 mm stroke with 345.6 N per side is ideal for pressing a bed-of-nails probe plate onto a circuit board in electronics test rigs, where the -S magnet feeds a CMSE switch to confirm full clamp before the test starts.
Short-push part ejection
On a small assembly line, the front rod nudges a finished bushing off a nest while the rear rod trips a DMSE sensor flag, giving a 5 mm eject with equal 483.8 N force at 0.7 MPa either way.
Gauge check slide
In a metrology station, the through-rod carries a go/no-go gauge tip with minimal rotation, and the short body fits inside a guard where a full-length ISO 15552 profile cylinder would never fit.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X5S with the ACED32X5S
At 345.6 N per side (0.5 MPa), bore 32 covers small clamps and part-presenters; step down to bore 25 (206.2 N) for lighter nests or up to bore 40 (571.8 N) if the tooling grows. The 5 mm stroke sits well inside the 200 mm max standard stroke for this bore, so it is a catalog item, not a made-to-order build. FA/FB flange or LB foot mounts bolt to the ISO 21287 face. The piston drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put. Order the ACED32X5 as the current replacement and verify mounting dimensions first.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED32X5S
- ✓ 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 ACPD32X5S FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, output is EQUAL both ways: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, on the rod-side area. Maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 70.5 kgf. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, port 1/8" (PT), rod thread M8x1.25 female.
Order the ACED32X5, the current-production ISO 21287 successor (swap the P for an E). It matches the same 32 mm bore, 5 mm stroke and force class, but confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping since the ACP is DIN-standard. The -S magnet code carries over, so CMSE / DMSE switches still work.
