This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED12X175S, 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 ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD12X175S
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD12X175S is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø12mm bore and 175mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED12X175S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD12X175S
Double acting with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD12X175S pushes and pulls with identical force because each stroke works on the rod-side area: 42.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 59.4 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction. The 12 mm bore drives a 6 mm through-rod over a 175 mm stroke, which exceeds the 50 mm standard limit for this bore, so this length is made to order. The -S code means the magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clipped on for end-of-stroke sensing.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it suits slim slides and tight fixtures. A hard-anodized aluminium body carries the S45C hard-chrome rod, a fixed TPU bumper sits at each end, and the back-end rod can carry a sensor flag or a second tooling plate. Running on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), it moves at 30-500 mm/s. Note this model is discontinued; the current direct is the ACED12X175, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED12X175S (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 | Force (both ways) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 42 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 59 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 9 kgf |
Double-rod: a rod exits both covers, so output force is equal in both directions (rod-side area used).

Where the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD12X175S Is Used
Presence check on small parts
The back-end rod carries a flag past a CMSE or DMSE switch, confirming a vial or connector seated in a test nest at up to 500 mm/s.
Push-pull gating in tight cells
Equal 42.4 N force both ways lets one cylinder slide a light guard or chute gate in and out without reversing plumbing, inside a frame too narrow for a full-length body.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD12X175S with the ACED12X175S
At 42.4 N per side at 0.5 MPa this 12 mm bore suits light pick-and-place, gating and sensor-flag duties; step up to the 16 mm bore (75.4 N at 0.5 MPa) if the load grows, or drop to a smaller stroke if travel allows. The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, but the piston will drift if air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check for a held load. The 175 mm stroke is a made-to-order length above the 50 mm standard for this bore. This model is discontinued - order the ACED12X175 as the current ISO 21287 replacement and verify mounting dimensions.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED12X175S
- ✓ Same bore / stroke / force class
- ✓ Confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G)
- ✓ Add -S for magnet if you need sensors
Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD12X175S FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, force is equal in both directions: 42.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 59.4 N at 0.7 MPa either way, with a maximum of 8.6 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, port M5x0.8, rod thread M3x0.5 female.
The compact body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and FA/FB flange or LB foot mounts bolt to the standard face. The S in the model code means the optional -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE switches can be mounted for position sensing. This model is discontinued; the ACED12X175 is the current direct - confirm ISO 21287 dimensions before ordering.
