This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED12X75, 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 ACPD12X75
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD12X75 is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø12mm bore and 75mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED12X75 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD12X75
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD12X75 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 rod over a 75 mm stroke, which is beyond the 50 mm standard stroke for this bore, so it is a made-to-order build. The through-rod resists rotation and light side load, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod keeps the short ISO 21287-style body roughly 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, ideal for tight fixtures. A fixed TPU bumper sits at each end. This model is discontinued; the current direct is ACED12X75, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED12X75 (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 ACPD12X75 Is Used
Small-parts ejection from plastic molds
The symmetric 42.4 N push and pull at 0.5 MPa ejects and retracts light molded clips, with the 75 mm stroke clearing deep cavities in a compact mold base.
Two-sided flag actuation on test rigs
A rod at both ends lets one side drive the workpiece while the rear rod trips a flag or switch, keeping electronics bench fixtures short and symmetric.
Light pusher on narrow conveyor frames
With about 25 N of practical working force and a short body that fits beside the belt, it diverts small cartons or blister packs without overhanging the frame.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD12X75 with the ACED12X75
At 42.4 N per side at 0.5 MPa this bore suits light clamping and small part transfer; step down is not available below 12 mm, while bore 16 gives 75.4 N both ways if you need more. The 75 mm stroke exceeds the 50 mm standard for bore 12, so expect a non-standard order. No magnet is fitted on this code; add the -S option if you later need CMSE or DMSE switch positions. A plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, so use a rod lock or pilot check for held loads. Order ACED12X75 as the current replacement.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED12X75
- ✓ 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 ACPD12X75 FAQ
Yes, force is equal both ways because a rod exits each cover and both strokes use the rod-side area: 42.4 N at 0.5 MPa, 59.4 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum of 8.6 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C, air filtered to 40 um.
Yes, strokes beyond the 50 mm standard for bore 12 are made to order. The ACPD12X75 itself is discontinued; the current-production direct is ACED12X75 (P changed to E), in the same bore, stroke and force class. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP follows the older DIN-standard body.
