This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACE80X15BCB, 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 ACP80X15BCB
The AirTAC ACP Compact Cylinder ACP80X15BCB is a double acting DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 15mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACE80X15BCB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP80X15BCB
The ACP80X15BCB is a double acting DIN-standard compact cylinder with an 80 mm bore and a short 15 mm stroke, built around a hard-anodized aluminium body and an S45C hard-chrome plated 20 mm rod. At 0.5 MPa it pushes with 2513.3 N and pulls with 2356.2 N; at 0.7 MPa those figures rise to 3518.6 N and 3298.7 N. The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into presses and clamping fixtures where a full-length body will not fit. The B code gives a male rod thread and the CB code adds a clevis mount.
The fixed TPU bumper at each end only softens end-of-travel contact; it never holds a load, so fit a rod lock or pilot check valve where position must be kept. Note that this model is discontinued: the current-production direct is the ACE80X15, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before ordering.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACE80X15BCB (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 (Ø80mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 2513 N | 2356 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 3519 N | 3299 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 513 kgf | |
The ACE80X15BCB 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 ACP80X15BCB Is Used
Pneumatic press head
A short-stroke 80 mm bore delivers 2513.3 N at 0.5 MPa for staking, riveting or pressing bushings into housings on a bench press where the compact body keeps the frame low.
Heavy fixture clamping
Clamps machined castings on a CNC fixture with about 1508 N of practical force at 0.5 MPa; the 15 mm stroke is enough to clear loading and re-clamp in seconds.
Gate and latch actuation
Swings heavy access gates or latches on material-handling equipment through a CB clevis, using the male rod thread to pick up the existing linkage pin.
Replacing the Airtac ACP Compact Cylinder ACP80X15BCB with the ACE80X15BCB
At 80 mm bore this is near the top of the compact range: 2513.3 N push at 0.5 MPa versus 981.7 N from a 50 mm bore, while the 100 mm bore reaches 3927.0 N if you need more. The 15 mm stroke sits well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it is a standard catalogue item. The male rod thread (B) and CB clevis suit swinging linkages; FA/FB flange or LB foot are alternatives. If you need position feedback, order the -S version to enable CMSE or DMSE switches - without the S code there is no magnet in the piston. This model is discontinued; the ACE80X15 is the current replacement in the same bore, stroke and force class.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACE80X15BCB
- ✓ 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 ACP80X15BCB FAQ
Push is 2513.3 N and pull is 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa push is 3518.6 N and pull 3298.7 N, with a theoretical maximum of 512.6 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It is a double acting compact cylinder, 80 mm bore, 15 mm stroke, 20 mm rod, 1/4" PT port, operating on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) filtered air at 30-500 mm/s, with a fixed TPU bumper at both ends. The model is discontinued; the ACE80X15 is the current replacement.
The B code gives a male rod thread and the CB code provides a clevis mount; FA/FB flange, LB foot and other ISO 21287-family brackets are also available. Sensors are only possible when the optional -S magnet is ordered - this unit has no magnet fitted, so no CMSE or DMSE switch can be used on it. Since the model is discontinued, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions of the ACE80X15 before swapping it in.
