This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACE12X35S, 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 ACP12X35S
The AirTAC ACP Compact Cylinder ACP12X35S 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 ACE12X35S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP12X35S
The ACP12X35S is a double acting compact cylinder in the DIN-standard ACP series, with a 12 mm bore, 35 mm stroke and a 6 mm rod. 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 peak of 11.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The S in the code means the optional -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be mounted directly on the hard-anodized aluminium body. The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it suits tight jigs and slim guarding where a full-length body will not fit.
The rod end carries a female M3x0.5 thread, the port is M5x0.8, and a fixed TPU bumper sits at both ends. Note that this model is discontinued: the current-production direct is the ACE12X35, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. Operating window is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE12X35S (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 ACE12X35S 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 ACP12X35S Is Used
PCB push-off station
Ejects finished circuit boards from a test nest on an SMT line; the fitted magnet and a CMSE switch confirm each ejection cycle at 30-500 mm/s.
Lab sample clamp
The 56.5 N push at 0.5 MPa holds small vials or slides in an analytical instrument fixture, with the 35 mm stroke clearing the nest for loading.
Micro part ejector
Kicks tiny turned parts off a machining arbor into a chute; about 3 kg of vertical lift equivalent covers light component weights with margin.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP12X35S with the ACE12X35S
For a 35 mm stroke at this force level, compare the 16 mm bore (100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa) if the load is heavier, or drop to the smallest frame size if 56.5 N is ample. Because the piston drifts when air is lost, add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. The fitted -S magnet pairs with CMSE / DMSE switches for end-of-stroke sensing, and FA/FB flange, LB foot or CA/CB clevis mounts bolt to the ISO 21287 face. Order the ACE12X35 as the current replacement.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE12X35S
- ✓ 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 ACP12X35S FAQ
Push is 56.5 N and pull 42.4 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa push rises to 79.2 N and pull to 59.4 N, with a theoretical maximum of 11.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It is double acting with a 12 mm bore, 35 mm stroke, 6 mm rod, M5x0.8 port and female M3x0.5 rod thread, running on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) filtered air at 30-500 mm/s.
Order the ACE12X35, the current-production ISO 21287 successor: swap the P for an E and you get the same bore, stroke and force class with a matching short body and mounting family. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture first, since the ACP was built to a DIN-standard footprint.
