This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACE12X200B, 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 ACP12X200B
The AirTAC ACP Compact Cylinder ACP12X200B 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 ACE12X200B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP12X200B
The ACP12X200B is a double acting DIN-standard compact cylinder with a 12 mm bore and a long 200 mm stroke, driving a 6 mm hard-chrome S45C rod through a male thread (the B code). 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 ceiling of 11.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Air is the only fluid, filtered to 40 um, at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), running 30-500 mm/s between -20 and +70 C.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is how a 200 mm stroke still fits a slim slide or guard arm. Fixed TPU bumpers sit at both ends, the hard-anodized aluminium body takes FA/FB flange or LB foot brackets, and note this model is discontinued: the current-production direct is ACE12X200, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE12X200B (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 ACE12X200B 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 ACP12X200B Is Used
Inspection gate actuator
The 56.5 N push at 0.5 MPa swings a small camera or sensor gate on a PCB inspection station, and the 200 mm stroke clears the fixture without a long body.
Label or liner ejector
On a labelling head, the 42.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa retracts a light pusher that strips labels or liners, with the fixed TPU bumper quieting each end of travel.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP12X200B with the ACE12X200B
This is the light-duty end of the range: 56.5 N push at 0.5 MPa suits small gates, sensors and eject parts. If your load needs more, the 16 mm bore delivers 100.5 N at the same pressure; if less, there is no smaller ACP bore, so re-check your force budget. The 200 mm stroke is beyond the 50 mm standard maximum for a 12 mm bore, so it is made to order. The B code gives a male rod thread; omit it for female M3x0.5. No magnet is fitted, so no CMSE or DMSE switch can be used - order the -S code if position sensing matters. A plain cylinder does not hold load when air is lost; add a rod lock or pilot check valve for held loads. Order ACE12X200 as the current replacement.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE12X200B
- ✓ 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 ACP12X200B 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; theoretical maximum is 11.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It is a double acting 12 mm bore compact cylinder with a 6 mm male-thread rod, M5x0.8 port, 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) operating range, 30-500 mm/s speed, -20 to +70 C, and fixed TPU bumpers at both ends.
No. The standard maximum stroke for a 12 mm ACP bore is 50 mm, so 200 mm is a non-standard, made-to-order stroke. Also note the whole ACP family is discontinued: the current-production replacement is ACE12X200, an ISO 21287 compact cylinder in the same bore, stroke and force class. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before swapping, since ACP was built to the DIN standard.
