This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACE40X60S, 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 ACP40X60S
The AirTAC ACP Compact Cylinder ACP40X60S is a double acting DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 60mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACE40X60S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP40X60S
This ACP40X60S is a double acting compact cylinder in the DIN-standard ACP series, with a 40 mm bore and 60 mm stroke driving a 12 mm hard-chrome rod through a female M8x1.25 thread. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 628.3 N and pulls 571.8 N; at 0.7 MPa those rise to 879.6 N and 800.5 N, with a theoretical peak of 128.1 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, guards and gantries. A fixed TPU bumper sits at both ends, speed runs 30-500 mm/s, and pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi). Note this model is discontinued: the current-production direct is ACE40X60, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE40X60S (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 (Ø40mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 628 N | 572 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 880 N | 800 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 128 kgf | |
The ACE40X60S 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 ACP40X60S Is Used
Fixture clamping on CNC machining centres
The 628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa clamps aluminium or mild-steel workpieces in dedicated jigs, and the short body fits where fixture space above the table is limited.
Carton push-off on packaging lines
With about 64 kgf of theoretical thrust at 0.5 MPa, the cylinder ejects filled cartons from infeed stations at speeds up to 500 mm/s, while CMSE switches confirm extend and retract.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP40X60S with the ACE40X60S
Size against neighbours: the 32 mm bore gives 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to 50 mm raises it to 981.7 N, so the 40 mm at 628.3 N sits mid-range for clamping and lifting duties. Keep the 60 mm stroke well inside the 200 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore. If the valve centres or air is lost, the rod will drift, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve for a held load. FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis mountings bolt to the same face, and the -S magnet already on this unit accepts CMSE / DMSE switches. Order ACE40X60 as the current replacement.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE40X60S
- ✓ 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 ACP40X60S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the cylinder pushes 628.3 N and pulls 571.8 N; at 0.7 MPa push is 879.6 N and pull is 800.5 N; the theoretical maximum is 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It is double acting with a 40 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, 12 mm rod with female M8x1.25 thread, and a 1/8" PT port. A practical rule of thumb is about 377 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa.
Order ACE40X60, the current-production ISO 21287 successor: swap the P for an E and you get the same bore, stroke and force class in a matching short body. Because the ACP was built to a DIN standard, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. The -S magnet on this unit carries over as an option on the ACE, and CMSE / DMSE switches remain compatible.
