This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED12X75B, 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 ACPD12X75B
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD12X75B 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 ACED12X75B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD12X75B
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD12X75B pushes and pulls with identical 42.4 N output 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 with a male M3x0.5 thread on both ends, and the 75 mm stroke is a made-to-order length since the standard range for this bore stops at 50 mm. Its short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into slim fixtures and guarding where a full-length body cannot.
The through-rod resists rotation and light side load and gives a symmetric mount, while fixed TPU bumpers pad both ends. Note this model is discontinued: the current-production direct is the ACED12X75 (swap the P for an E), so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before ordering.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED12X75B (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).

Replacement mapping (swap P for E): ACP→ACE, ASP→ASE, ATP→ATE, ACPD→ACED, ACPJ→ACEJ. ACP-family: ACP (double acting), ASP / ATP (single acting push / pull), ACPD (double rod), ACPJ (double rod, adjustable stroke).
Where the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD12X75B Is Used
Flag trigger on small indexing tables
The rear rod carries a switch flag so a CMSE or DMSE sensor (fitted only when the -S magnet is ordered) confirms mid-stroke index positions on a compact rotary dial table.
Light lid clamp in a slim fixture
The 59.4 N at 0.7 MPa holds small enclosure lids or PCB covers in a narrow jig where the short body fits beside the workpiece.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD12X75B with the ACED12X75B
At 42.4 N per side this is the smallest ACPD bore; step up to the 16 mm bore (75.4 N at 0.5 MPa) if your jig needs more push, or down is not possible since 12 mm is the base size. The 75 mm stroke is non-standard for this bore and is built to order. Like every plain double-rod cylinder it will drift when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put. The optional -S magnet code enables CMSE / DMSE switches; this unit has no magnet fitted. Order the ACED12X75 as the current replacement.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED12X75B
- ✓ 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 ACPD12X75B FAQ
Output is equal in both directions: 42.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 59.4 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum of 8.6 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), temperature -20 to +70 C, speed 30-500 mm/s, with a 6 mm rod, M3x0.5 male rod threads and an M5x0.8 port. The 75 mm stroke exceeds the 50 mm standard maximum and is made to order.
No - the ACPD family is discontinued. The current-production direct is the ACED12X75, the ISO 21287 successor in the same bore, stroke and force class. Because the ACP was DIN-standard, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before swapping.
