This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED32X70SB, 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 ACPD32X70SB
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X70SB 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 ACED32X70SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X70SB
Double acting with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD32X70SB pushes and pulls with identical force: 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. The 32 mm bore drives a 12 mm through-rod over a 70 mm stroke, with a male rod thread (B code) and 1/8" ports. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and a fixed TPU bumper sits at each end.
The short ISO 21287 body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs and guarding where a full-length body will not fit. The through-rod resists rotation and side load, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE switches mount directly for position feedback. Note: the ACPD family is discontinued - the current-production direct is the ACED32X70, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED32X70SB (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 ACPD32X70SB Is Used
Symmetric push-pull fixture clamping
On a machining jig for aluminium brackets, the 345.6 N rod-side force clamps the part from both covers in turn, and the male thread takes a standard I-type knuckle without adapters.
Position-flagged gantry transfer
The rear rod carries a flag for CMSE or DMSE switches (this -S model carries the magnet), confirming full 70 mm advance on a pick-and-place gantry inside a compact machine frame.
Bidirectional divert on packaging lines
A packaging line diverter needs equal force either way; the through-rod drives a pusher pad on each stroke at 30-500 mm/s, keeping the 32 mm bore small enough for the guard space.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD32X70SB with the ACED32X70SB
At 345.6 N per side at 0.5 MPa, this 32 mm bore suits clamping and transfer loads in the 200-300 N band. Step down to the 25 mm bore (206.2 N) for lighter tooling, or up to the 40 mm bore (571.8 N) when the part weight or friction rises. The 70 mm stroke sits well inside the 200 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it is a catalogue item, not made to order. The male rod thread (B) accepts standard rod knuckles, and FA/FB flange or LB foot brackets bolt to the ISO 21287 face. Remember that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put. For new designs, order the ACED32X70 instead, as this model is discontinued.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED32X70SB
- ✓ 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 ACPD32X70SB FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design means both strokes use the rod-side area, so force is equal either way: 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 for the 32 mm bore. Never expect a larger push than pull on this cylinder.
The ACPD family is no longer in production; the current direct is the ACED32X70 (swap the P for an E), which matches the same 32 mm bore, 70 mm stroke and force class. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP is DIN-standard. On the ACPD, the magnet is the optional -S code - this SB model carries it, enabling CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches.
