This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACE12X150, 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 ACP12X150
The AirTAC ACP Compact Cylinder ACP12X150 is a double acting DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø12mm bore and 150mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACE12X150 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP12X150
The ACP12X150 is a double acting compact cylinder in the DIN-standard ACP series, with a 12 mm bore pushing a 150 mm stroke. At 0.5 MPa it delivers 56.5 N on extension and 42.4 N on retraction, rising to 79.2 N and 59.4 N at 0.7 MPa. The 150 mm stroke is longer than the 50 mm standard maximum for this bore, so it is made to order. Note this model is discontinued; the current-production successor is ACE12X150.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which suits slim slides and light pick-and-place heads. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a fixed TPU bumper at both ends, and the rod ends in a female M3x0.5 thread with an M5x0.8 air port.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE12X150 (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 ACE12X150 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 ACP12X150 Is Used
Lab sample ejector
The 56.5 N push at 0.5 MPa is enough to eject microplate-sized samples from a fixture nest, and the 150 mm stroke clears the full tray depth.
Blister tray indexing
A 150 mm made-to-order stroke advances light blister trays one pocket at a time on a small packaging line, with the 6 mm rod handling the low index force.
Test rig actuator (with -S)
Order the -S magnet version and CMSE or DMSE switches to confirm end positions on a small leak-test or press-check station.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP12X150 with the ACE12X150
At 56.5 N push at 0.5 MPa, the 12 mm bore suits light loads such as small part ejection or sensor-actuated gates; step up to the 16 mm bore (100.5 N) if the load grows, or down to nothing smaller since 12 mm is the smallest in the range. The 150 mm stroke is a made-to-order length, above the 50 mm standard cap for this bore. This version has no magnet, so CMSE or DMSE switches cannot be used; order the -S code if position sensing is needed. A plain cylinder drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve for a held load. For new designs, specify ACE12X150 instead and confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE12X150
- ✓ 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 ACP12X150 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the ACP12X150 pushes 56.5 N and pulls 42.4 N; at 0.7 MPa it pushes 79.2 N and pulls 59.4 N, with a theoretical maximum of 11.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The model is discontinued and is replaced by ACE12X150, a direct of the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits narrow gantries and slides. Switches are only possible on the -S version, which carries the optional magnet for CMSE or DMSE sensors; this standard ACP12X150 has no magnet fitted.
