This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACE100X120SB, 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 ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X120SB
The AirTAC ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X120SB is a double acting DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 120mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACE100X120SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X120SB
A double acting compact cylinder in the DIN-standard ACP series, the ACP100X120SB pairs a 100 mm bore with a 120 mm stroke and a male-threaded 25 mm rod. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 3927 N and pulls 3681.6 N, rising to 5497.8 N push at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical peak of 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. 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, and -20 to +70 C, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end.
Its short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it fits deep presses, weld fixtures and gantry clamps where a full-length body cannot. Because the -S magnet is fitted, CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches mount directly on the tube for end-of-stroke feedback. This model is discontinued; the current-production direct is the ACE100X120, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE100X120SB (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 (Ø100mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 3927 N | 3682 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 5498 N | 5154 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 801 kgf | |
The ACE100X120SB produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

Where the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X120SB Is Used
Pneumatic press head
A 100 mm bore driving a small forming or staking press delivers 3927 N at 0.5 MPa, about 5497.8 N at 0.7 MPa, across a 120 mm working stroke.
Weld fixture clamping
The short body drops into tight weld-cell fixtures, and the fitted -S magnet feeds CMSE or DMSE switch signals to the PLC for clamp-confirmation interlocks.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X120SB with the ACE100X120SB
At this force class, step down to an 80 mm bore (2513.3 N push at 0.5 MPa) if your load is under about 150 kg, or stay at 100 mm for heavy clamping and pressing. The 120 mm stroke sits well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so no made-to-order build is needed. The male rod thread (B code) suits I/Y rod knuckles and linkage work, while FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis brackets bolt to the same mounting face. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve for a held load. Order the ACE100X120 as the current replacement.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE100X120SB
- ✓ Same bore / stroke / force class
- ✓ Confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G)
- ✓ Add -S for magnet if you need sensors
Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP100X120SB FAQ
Push is 3927 N and pull 3681.6 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa push is 5497.8 N and pull 5154.2 N, with a theoretical maximum of 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It is double acting with a 100 mm bore, 120 mm stroke, 25 mm rod, 1/4" PT ports, 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) operating pressure, 30-500 mm/s speed and a fixed TPU bumper at both ends.
Order the ACE100X120, the current-production ISO 21287 successor made by swapping the P for an E. It matches the same bore, stroke and force class, but because the ACP was DIN-standard you should confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions and port positions before swapping it into an existing fixture.
