This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACE12X175SB, 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 ACP12X175SB
The AirTAC ACP Compact Cylinder ACP12X175SB 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 ACE12X175SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP12X175SB
The ACP12X175SB is a double acting DIN-standard compact cylinder with a 12 mm bore and a made-to-order 175 mm stroke, built on a hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod and a fixed TPU bumper at each end. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 56.5 N and pulls 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. Its short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into slim fixtures a full-length body cannot reach.
Because the S code is in the model, the optional -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clamped on for end-of-stroke sensing without any external brackets. The B code gives a male rod thread on the 6 mm rod, with a PT port thread. Note that when air is lost the piston drifts freely - the bumper never holds a load, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve if you need position retention. This model is discontinued; the current-production direct is ACE12X175 in the same bore, stroke and force class, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE12X175SB (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 ACE12X175SB 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 ACP12X175SB Is Used
Signalled ejection on small-part chutes
The fitted -S magnet lets a DMSE switch confirm each 175 mm eject stroke on a packaging chute, while the 56.5 N push at 0.5 MPa clears lightweight plastic parts reliably.
Light clamping in slim jigs
With about 34 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa, the cylinder clamps thin aluminium brackets in electronics assembly jigs where the short body is the only way to fit inside the fixture.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP12X175SB with the ACE12X175SB
At 56.5 N push and 42.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa, this bore suits light clamping and small-part ejection. If you need more muscle, the 16 mm bore delivers 100.5 N push at the same pressure; if this is oversized, the 20 mm bore at 157.1 N is the step up, while stepping down is not possible below 12 mm. The 175 mm stroke exceeds the 50 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it is made to order. Mounting brackets and the male rod thread carry over to the ACE12X175 replacement - verify the ISO 21287 face dimensions before ordering.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE12X175SB
- ✓ 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 ACP12X175SB 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. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, air filtered to 40 um, speed 30-500 mm/s and temperature -20 to +70 C.
The bore 12 standard stroke tops out at 50 mm, so 175 mm is a non-standard, made-to-order build - expect a longer lead time. The ACP family is discontinued; the current direct is the ACE12X175 (same bore, stroke and force class, ISO 21287 short body). Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your ACP footprint before swapping, since the ACP was built to the DIN standard.
