This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED12X35, 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 ACPD12X35
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD12X35 is a double acting, double rod 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 ACED12X35 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD12X35
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the discontinued ACPD12X35 delivers 42.4 N in each direction at 0.5 MPa (59.4 N at 0.7 MPa), because both strokes work on the rod-side area. The 12 mm bore takes a 6 mm through-rod with a female M3x0.5 end thread and an M5x0.8 port. Its hard-anodized aluminium body is an ISO 21287 short build that saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into slim fixtures and tight instrument panels.
The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, while the rear rod can carry a sensor flag on a moving table. A fixed TPU bumper sits at each end, and stroke speed runs 30-500 mm/s over 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) of clean air. This model is discontinued; the current direct is the ACED12X35, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED12X35 (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 ACPD12X35 Is Used
Lab sample pusher
The 42.4 N bidirectional stroke slides microscope sample trays between stations, with the rear rod driving a flag past a position sensor when the -S magnet is ordered.
Small-part ejection
Equal force both ways lets one through-rod eject a machined pin on the forward stroke and retract the pusher under the same 42.4 N, inside a compact jig head.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD12X35 with the ACED12X35
At 42.4 N per side (0.5 MPa) this 12 mm bore suits light positioning work; step up to the 16 mm bore at 75.4 N or drop to a single-rod ACP class if you need more force in one direction only. The 35 mm stroke sits well inside the 50 mm standard limit for this bore. The rod ends are female M3x0.5; add the -S code only if you want the optional magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches - without it no sensor can be fitted. Note that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, so use a rod lock or pilot check for a held load. Order the ACED12X35 as the current-production replacement.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED12X35
- ✓ 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 ACPD12X35 FAQ
It is a double-rod cylinder, so output is identical on both strokes: 42.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 59.4 N at 0.7 MPa, both from the rod-side area. The maximum force rating for the 12 mm bore is 8.6 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure.
Only if you order the -S variant, which adds the optional magnet; CMSE or DMSE switches then sense position along the body. The plain ACPD12X35 has no magnet, so no switch will trigger. Also note this model is discontinued - the ACED12X35 is the current ISO 21287 direct, and you should verify its mounting dimensions before converting.
