This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACE12X35, 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 ACP12X35
The AirTAC ACP Compact Cylinder ACP12X35 is a double acting DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø12mm bore and 35mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACE12X35 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP12X35
A double acting compact cylinder in the DIN-standard ACP series, the ACP12X35 delivers 56.5 N of push and 42.4 N of pull at 0.5 MPa from a 12 mm bore with a 35 mm stroke. Its short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it fits slim pick-and-place heads and tight fixture slots. Air supply runs 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof rating, and rod speed spans 30-500 mm/s.
This model is discontinued; the current-production direct is the ACE12X35 in the same bore, stroke and force class, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. The body is hard-anodized aluminium with an S45C hard-chrome rod, a fixed TPU bumper at both ends, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches when ordered.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE12X35 (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 ACE12X35 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 ACP12X35 Is Used
Micro part ejection
Ejects small machined pins or plastic caps off a nest with 56.5 N of push at 0.5 MPa, enough for parts under 30 g with margin.
Sensor-checked presence
With the optional -S magnet, CMSE or DMSE switches confirm extend and retract on a 35 mm stroke in an electronics assembly station.
Light fixture clamping
Holds thin PCB brackets or lens holders in a drill jig using about 34 N of practical force at 0.5 MPa inside a compact fixture body.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP12X35 with the ACE12X35
At 56.5 N push at 0.5 MPa, the 12 mm bore suits light clamping and small part transfer; step up to the 16 mm bore (100.5 N) for roughly double the force, or down to the 10 mm class where available. The 35 mm stroke sits inside the 50 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it is a catalogue item. The rod end is female M3x0.5 and the port is M5x0.8; order the -S code if you need the magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve for a held load, and specify the ACE12X35 as the current replacement.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE12X35
- ✓ 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 ACP12X35 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the 12 mm bore gives 56.5 N push and 42.4 N pull; at 0.7 MPa it gives 79.2 N push and 59.4 N pull. The theoretical maximum is 11.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s.
No - the ACP family is discontinued. The current-production replacement is the ACE12X35 (swap the P for an E), an ISO 21287 compact cylinder in the same bore, stroke and force class. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP followed the DIN standard.
