This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACE12X100B, 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 ACP12X100B
The AirTAC ACP Compact Cylinder ACP12X100B is a double acting DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø12mm bore and 100mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACE12X100B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP12X100B
The ACP12X100B is a double acting compact cylinder in the discontinued AirTAC ACP DIN-standard series, with a 12 mm bore, a 100 mm stroke and a male rod thread on the 6 mm rod. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 56.5 N and pulls 42.4 N; at 0.7 MPa those rise to 79.2 N and 59.4 N, with a theoretical maximum of 11.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and rod speed runs 30-500 mm/s.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with threaded aluminium covers and an S45C hard-chrome rod keeps the short ISO 21287-class body roughly 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into slim fixtures and small assemblies. Because the 100 mm stroke exceeds the 50 mm standard limit for this bore, it is a made-to-order build. Note this model is discontinued; the current direct is ACE12X100, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE12X100B (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 ACE12X100B 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 ACP12X100B Is Used
Micro assembly press
The 56.5 N push at 0.5 MPa seats small connectors and clips in electronics assembly, and the male rod thread accepts a compact knuckle for direct tooling.
Small-part ejector
A 100 mm stroke clears tiny machined or moulded parts from a fixture, with the short body fitting where a full-length cylinder cannot.
Slide positioning
Order the -S magnet version to enable CMSE or DMSE switches for end-of-stroke detection on light indexing slides; this B-code unit has no magnet.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP12X100B with the ACE12X100B
At 56.5 N push at 0.5 MPa this 12 mm bore suits light clamping and positioning; if the load needs more, step up to the 16 mm bore at 100.5 N or the 20 mm bore at 157.1 N, both in the same compact family. A plain ACP does not hold position when air is lost - the piston drifts - so add a rod lock or pilot check valve for a held load. The male rod thread (B code) suits external knuckles, and the 100 mm stroke is non-standard for this bore, so it is built to order. This model is discontinued: order ACE12X100 as the current-production replacement and verify the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE12X100B
- ✓ 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 ACP12X100B FAQ
Push is 56.5 N and pull 42.4 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa push is 79.2 N and pull 59.4 N, with a theoretical maximum of 11.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It is double acting with a 12 mm bore, 6 mm male-threaded rod, M5x0.8 port, 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) operating range and 30-500 mm/s speed. The 100 mm stroke exceeds the 50 mm standard limit, so it is made to order.
The current-production replacement is ACE12X100 - swap the P for an E. It matches the same bore, stroke and force class in the ISO 21287 short-body family with FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis mounting, but confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping since the ACP was DIN-standard.
