This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED12X35B, 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 ACPD12X35B
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD12X35B 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 ACED12X35B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD12X35B
Double acting with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD12X35B pushes and pulls with the same 42.4 N at 0.5 MPa (59.4 N at 0.7 MPa) because each stroke works on the rod-side area. The 12 mm bore drives a 6 mm through-rod over a 35 mm stroke, and the male rod thread from the B code bolts straight to your tooling. This model is discontinued; the current-production direct is the ACED12X35.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into slim pick-and-place heads and micro-assembly fixtures. A fixed TPU bumper sits at each end, the hard-anodized aluminium body carries an S45C hard-chrome rod, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s. No magnet is fitted on this code, so CMSE / DMSE switches need the optional -S magnet version.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED12X35B (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 ACPD12X35B Is Used
Micro-assembly press head
The 42.4 N both-way force seats small connectors or labels in electronics benches where the 35 mm stroke and short body fit inside a compact gantry frame.
Symmetric push-pull gating
Equal force in each direction makes the through-rod ideal for sliding a small fixture or vise jaw forward and back with identical 42.4 N thrust at 0.5 MPa.
Rear-rod flag position check
The back-end rod carries a flag for a proximity or, with the optional -S magnet, a CMSE / DMSE switch to confirm end positions on a 35 mm transfer slide.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD12X35B with the ACED12X35B
For a 35 mm stroke at this force class, the 12 mm bore gives 42.4 N both ways at 0.5 MPa; step down is not available (12 mm is the smallest bore), while the 16 mm bore raises output to 75.4 N if your part weight grows. The through-rod resists rotation and side load, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check for a held load. Order the -S code if you want CMSE / DMSE switch positions, and confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping to the ACED12X35.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED12X35B
- ✓ 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 ACPD12X35B 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 on the rod-side area, with a peak 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, PT body ports, male M3x0.5 rod thread, and the maximum standard stroke for this bore is 50 mm.
The ISO 21287 short body cuts mounting length by roughly half compared with an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with FA/FB flange or LB foot brackets and a fixed TPU bumper at each end. The ACPD family is discontinued; the ACED12X35 is the current direct in the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
