This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED32X60B, 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 ACPD32X60B
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X60B is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 60mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED32X60B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X60B
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD32X60B pushes and pulls with identical output: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction, because both strokes work on the rod-side area of the 32 mm bore. The 60 mm stroke sits well inside the 200 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it is a catalogue item, not a made-to-order build. AirTAC has discontinued the ACPD family; the current-production direct is the ISO 21287 ACED32X60, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before you swap, since the ACP was built to a DIN-standard footprint.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why this bore and stroke suit tight jigs and guard-mounted tooling. The through-rod resists rotation and light side load and gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag on a fixture that has no room for a body-mounted switch. Note that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost; use a rod lock or pilot check if the load must be held.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED32X60B (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 ACPD32X60B Is Used
Bench-top press fixture
The equal 345.6 N output in both directions suits a small marking or staking press on a machining centre bench, where the 60 mm stroke covers part load and unload in one cycle.
Push-part ejector on a transfer line
A rear-exiting rod lets the same cylinder eject a housing from a nest and return a flag for the PLC, with the through-rod keeping the pusher square to the part.
Clamping a weld jig for brackets
In an automotive sub-assembly jig, the 32 mm bore holds sheet brackets at about 207 N of practical force at 0.5 MPa, and the short body fits under the jig top plate.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X60B with the ACED32X60B
Size both ways before committing: the 25 mm bore delivers 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa, while the 40 mm bore reaches 571.8 N, so this 32 mm unit at 345.6 N sits squarely in the middle for clamping and transfer duties. If the load must stay put on air loss, pair the cylinder with a rod lock or pilot check valve rather than expecting the cylinder to hold. This code has no -S magnet, so no CMSE or DMSE switch can be fitted; order the -S variant if position sensing is planned. Mounting brackets from the FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis and SDB pivot family bolt to the standard face. Since ACPD is discontinued, order the ACED32X60 as the current replacement and verify the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions first.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED32X60B
- ✓ 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 ACPD32X60B FAQ
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, output is identical in both directions: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum of 70.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), temperature -20 to +70 C, speed 30-500 mm/s, with a 12 mm rod, 1/8" port and fixed TPU bumpers at both ends.
AirTAC no longer produces the ACPD family. The current-production replacement is the ACED32X60, an ISO 21287 compact cylinder in the same bore, stroke and force class - just swap the P for an E in the code. Before swapping, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions, because the ACP was built to a DIN-standard footprint and bracket positions may differ. If you need position sensing, remember the magnet is only fitted when the -S code is ordered.
