This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACE12X150SB, 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 ACP12X150SB
The AirTAC ACP Compact Cylinder ACP12X150SB 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 ACE12X150SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP12X150SB
A double acting DIN-standard compact cylinder, the ACP12X150SB pairs a 12 mm bore with a long 150 mm stroke and a male threaded rod end. At 0.5 MPa it pushes with 56.5 N and pulls with 42.4 N, rising to 79.2 N push at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical ceiling of 11.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. 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 guarded assemblies. Note the 150 mm stroke is beyond the 50 mm standard limit for this bore, so it is built to order.
The hard-anodized aluminium body carries an S45C hard-chrome rod, a fixed TPU bumper at each end, and the optional -S magnet this model includes, letting CMSE or DMSE switches report rod position. This model is discontinued; the current-production direct is the ACE12X150, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE12X150SB (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 ACE12X150SB 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 ACP12X150SB Is Used
Position-flagged slide check
The fitted -S magnet with a DMSE switch confirms the rod reached full extension on a 150 mm verification stroke in an electronics test fixture.
Light connector press-fit
About 34 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa seats small USB or terminal housings without damaging delicate plastic features.
Sample pusher in lab automation
The slim short-body profile slides vials or microplates along a 150 mm track inside a compact analyzer chassis.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP12X150SB with the ACE12X150SB
At 12 mm bore you are at the light end of the range: 56.5 N push at 0.5 MPa. If your part or clamp needs more, a 16 mm bore gives 100.5 N and a 20 mm bore 157.1 N at the same pressure; if this is already ample, it is the smallest size offered. The 150 mm stroke is a made-to-order length since the standard maximum for this bore is 50 mm. The B code gives a male M3x0.5 rod thread and the -S magnet accepts CMSE / DMSE switches. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. Order the ACE12X150 as the current replacement.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE12X150SB
- ✓ 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 ACP12X150SB FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 56.5 N and pulls 42.4 N. At 0.7 MPa those figures rise to 79.2 N push and 59.4 N pull. The theoretical maximum is 11.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, and rod speed runs 30-500 mm/s.
This stroke is non-standard and made to order, so lead time applies. The ACP12X150SB itself is discontinued; the current-production successor is the ACE12X150 in the same bore, stroke and force class. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before swapping, since the ACP was built to a DIN-standard footprint.
