This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACE12X10, 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 ACP12X10
The AirTAC ACP Compact Cylinder ACP12X10 is a double acting DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø12mm bore and 10mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACE12X10 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP12X10
The ACP12X10 is a double acting compact cylinder in the discontinued AirTAC ACP DIN-standard series, with a 12 mm bore and a 10 mm stroke. At 0.5 MPa it pushes with 56.5 N and pulls with 42.4 N, rising to 79.2 N push and 59.4 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 11.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Its hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome rod run on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-500 mm/s.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into slim fixtures and small assemblies where a full-length body cannot. This model is discontinued; the current-production direct is ACE12X10, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE12X10 (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 (Ø12mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 57 N | 42 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 79 N | 59 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 12 kgf | |
The ACE12X10 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 ACP12X10 Is Used
Micro part ejection
Ejects small machined or moulded parts from a fixture with a short 10 mm push, using the 56.5 N force available at 0.5 MPa.
Compact presence check
With the optional -S magnet and a CMSE or DMSE switch, the 12 mm bore confirms a tiny component is seated in an electronics assembly nest.
Light clamping in tight jigs
The short body, about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, clamps PCBs or small brackets inside crowded jig plates.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP12X10 with the ACE12X10
For a 10 mm stroke at this force level, compare the 16 mm bore (100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa) if your load is near the 12 mm limit, or stay at 12 mm for lighter clamping and positioning. A plain ACP12X10 does not hold position when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve for a held load. The rod end here is female M3x0.5 with a PT port thread; the optional -S code adds the magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches, and without -S no magnet is fitted. Order ACE12X10 as the current replacement.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE12X10
- ✓ 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 ACP12X10 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 56.5 N and pulls 42.4 N; at 0.7 MPa it pushes 79.2 N and pulls 59.4 N. The theoretical maximum is 11.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It is double acting, runs at 30-500 mm/s on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) air, and has a fixed TPU bumper at both ends.
No - the ACP family is discontinued. The current-production replacement is ACE12X10 (swap the P for an E), which matches the same 12 mm bore, 10 mm stroke and force class in the ISO 21287 short-body format. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP was built to the DIN standard.
