This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED32X5SB, 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 ACPD32X5SB
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X5SB 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 ACED32X5SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X5SB
Double acting with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD32X5SB delivers 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa in each direction, because both strokes work on the rod-side area of the 32 mm piston. At 0.7 MPa that rises to 483.8 N either way, with a peak of 70.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 5 mm stroke suits short clamp-and-release moves, and the through-rod resists rotation and light side load while the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be fitted for end-position sensing.
The short ISO 21287-class body cuts roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into cramped fixtures where a full-length body will not reach. A fixed TPU bumper at each end decelerates the piston, and the hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-500 mm/s. Note the ACPD family is discontinued: the current direct is ACED32X5, and you should confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. As a rule of thumb, plan on about 207 N (roughly 21 kg) of usable vertical work at 0.5 MPa rather than the full rating.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED32X5SB (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 ACPD32X5SB Is Used
Short-stroke clamping on a CNC fixture
The 5 mm stroke is ideal for a swing clamp or part-present pin on a milling fixture, where 345.6 N per side at 0.5 MPa seats the part without over-travel.
Position-flagged ejector in an assembly station
With the -S magnet and a DMSE switch on the front rod, a PLC confirms each 5 mm eject or reject push between pallet stops.
Symmetric push-pull in a gauge rig
A through-rod that pushes and pulls with equal 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa lets a checking fixture load a dial indicator both ways from one cylinder.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X5SB with the ACED32X5SB
If 345.6 N per side at 0.5 MPa is more than the job needs, the bore 25 ACPD gives 206.2 N both ways; if you need more, the bore 40 version reaches 571.8 N. Both directions are equal on this through-rod design, so there is no push-versus-pull mismatch to size around. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost - for a held load add a rod lock or pilot check valve. FA/FB flange or LB foot mounting bolts to the standard face, and the -S magnet on this unit pairs with CMSE / DMSE switches. Order ACED32X5 as the current-production replacement.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED32X5SB
- ✓ 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 ACPD32X5SB 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, peaking at 70.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Both strokes use the rod-side area of the 32 mm bore, so there is no push-pull difference. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure.
No - the ACPD family is discontinued. The current-production direct is ACED32X5 (swap the P for an E), an ISO 21287 compact cylinder in the same bore, stroke and force class. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP was built to the DIN standard, and check FA/FB flange or LB foot hole patterns against your fixture.
