This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACE12X200, 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 ACP12X200
The AirTAC ACP Compact Cylinder ACP12X200 is a double acting DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø12mm bore and 200mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACE12X200 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP12X200
This double acting compact cylinder pairs a slim 12 mm bore with an unusually long 200 mm stroke, pushing 56.5 N at 0.5 MPa (79.2 N at 0.7 MPa, up to 11.5 kgf theoretical). The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so a long-reach axis still fits inside a tight guard or slide. Note that 200 mm exceeds the 50 mm standard stroke for this bore, so it is a made-to-order build.
The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a fixed TPU bumper at each end, and the female M3x0.5 rod thread takes standard I/Y knuckles. This model is discontinued; the current-production direct is ACE12X200, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE12X200 (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 ACE12X200 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 ACP12X200 Is Used
Sliding sensor carriage
The 200 mm made-to-order stroke traverses a small inspection camera or sensor head across a PCB or vial tray, with about 34 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa - ample for a friction-free slide.
Light gate ejection
A 12 mm bore at 56.5 N push (0.5 MPa) nudges small plastic caps or stamped clips off a chute; the compact body slots into conveyor framing where a full-length cylinder will not fit.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP12X200 with the ACE12X200
At 56.5 N push / 42.4 N pull (0.5 MPa) this 12 mm bore suits light clamping and positioning; step up to a 16 mm bore (100.5 N push) if the load grows, or drop to a shorter stroke if 200 mm reach is more than the mechanism needs. The 200 mm stroke is non-standard for this bore (standard tops out at 50 mm), so expect a made-to-order lead time. The rod end is female M3x0.5 and the port is M5x0.8. No magnet is fitted - order the -S code if you want CMSE or DMSE switches. This unit is discontinued and replaced by ACE12X200 in the same bore, stroke and force class.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE12X200
- ✓ 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 ACP12X200 FAQ
Push is 56.5 N and pull is 42.4 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa it reaches 79.2 N push and 59.4 N pull, with a theoretical maximum of 11.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 200 mm stroke exceeds the 50 mm standard maximum for a 12 mm bore, so it is built to order. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and speed is 30-500 mm/s.
Only if the optional -S magnet is ordered - without it no CMSE or DMSE switch can be mounted. The ACP family is discontinued; the current-production successor is ACE12X200 (swap the P for an E), which matches the same bore, stroke and force class. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP was built to the DIN standard.
