This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACE12X175, 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 ACP12X175
The AirTAC ACP Compact Cylinder ACP12X175 is a double acting DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø12mm bore and 175mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACE12X175 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP12X175
The ACP12X175 is a double acting DIN-standard compact cylinder with a 12 mm bore and a 175 mm stroke. Air drives the rod in both directions, and a fixed TPU bumper sits at each end of the hard-anodized aluminium body. 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 and 59.4 N, with a theoretical maximum of 11.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits tight jigs and gantries where a full-length body will not.
Note that the 175 mm stroke is beyond the 50 mm maximum standard stroke for bore 12, so this unit is made to order. The rod ends in a female M3x0.5 thread and the air port is M5x0.8. This model is discontinued: the current-production replacement is the ACE12X175, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE12X175 (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 ACE12X175 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 ACP12X175 Is Used
Small-part ejection from plastic molds
The 56.5 N push at 0.5 MPa is enough to kick light molded caps or bushings off a tooling plate, and the 175 mm stroke clears deep mold pockets on a made-to-order basis.
Compact slide gate on a bottling line
A short body that saves about 50% of the length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder slots behind machine guards; order the -S code when CMSE or DMSE switch feedback on gate position is needed.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP12X175 with the ACE12X175
At 12 mm bore this is the smallest size in the family: 56.5 N push at 0.5 MPa versus 100.5 N from a 16 mm bore and 245.4 N from a 25 mm bore, so step up a bore if your load sits near the limit. The 175 mm stroke is a made-to-order length, since bore 12 tops out at 50 mm as a standard stroke. A plain unit holds nothing when air is lost - the piston drifts - so add a rod lock or pilot check valve for a held load. Mounting brackets and the optional -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches should be specified at order time; the ACE12X175 is the direct successor.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE12X175
- ✓ 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 ACP12X175 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 a double acting compact cylinder, 12 mm bore with a 6 mm rod, M5x0.8 port, female M3x0.5 rod thread, operating pressure 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C, and a fixed TPU bumper at both ends. The 175 mm stroke is a non-standard, made-to-order length.
No - the ACP family is discontinued and this model is no longer in production. The current direct is the ACE12X175, which matches the same bore, stroke and force class in the ISO 21287 short-body format. Because the ACP was built to the DIN standard, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions and bracket fit before swapping. If you need position sensing, order the -S version so the optional magnet is fitted for CMSE or DMSE switches.
