This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED32X70S, 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 ACPD32X70S
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X70S is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 70mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED32X70S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X70S
A double acting, double-rod compact cylinder in the DIN-standard ACP series, the ACPD32X70S pushes a 32 mm piston through a 70 mm stroke with a rod leaving both covers. Because each side sees the rod-side area, output is identical in either direction: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, with a peak of 70.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The S code means the magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clipped on for end-of-stroke signalling. AirTAC has discontinued this model; the current-production successor is the ISO 21287 ACED32X70.
The short ISO 21287-class body cuts roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it suits tight jigs, guarding and gantry frames. The through-rod resists rotation and modest side load and gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. A fixed TPU bumper sits at both ends.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED32X70S (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 ACPD32X70S Is Used
Symmetric jig clamping
The equal 345.6 N force in both directions lets one cylinder clamp a machined housing from either side of a drilling fixture, with the 70 mm stroke clearing part loading.
Reciprocating push-pull station
A rod on each cover drives a slide forward and back with identical force, ideal for alternating stamping or marking heads on a small press bench.
Position-flagged conveyor gating
With the -S magnet fitted, CMSE or DMSE switches confirm gate open and closed on a packaging line, while the rear rod carries a mechanical flag for visual checks.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X70S with the ACED32X70S
At 345.6 N per direction, the 32 mm bore covers clamping and transfer duties in the 20-35 kg equivalent class; step down to the 25 mm bore (206.2 N) for lighter pick-and-place or up to the 40 mm bore (571.8 N) when the part is heavier. The 70 mm stroke sits well inside the 200 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so no made-to-order build is needed. Note that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put. FA/FB flange and LB foot mountings bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face, and the fitted -S magnet accepts CMSE / DMSE switches. Order the ACED32X70 as the current direct and confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED32X70S
- ✓ 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 ACPD32X70S FAQ
Yes - as a double-rod cylinder both strokes use the rod-side area, so output is equal in each direction: 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa, 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum of 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, temperature -20 to +70 C, with air filtered to 40 um. The rod is 12 mm with an M8x1.25 female thread and the port is 1/8" (PT).
AirTAC no longer produces the ACPD series. The current-production replacement is the ISO 21287 ACED32X70, which swaps the P for an E and matches the same 32 mm bore, 70 mm stroke and force class with a similar short body and mounting family. Because the ACP was DIN-standard, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before swapping. The fixed TPU bumpers, optional -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches, and FA/FB flange or LB foot options carry over in the ACE range.
