This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED12X75S, 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 ACPD12X75S
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD12X75S 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 ACED12X75S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD12X75S
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD12X75S pushes and pulls with identical force: 42.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 59.4 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction, because both strokes work on the rod-side area of the 12 mm bore. The through-rod resists rotation and light side load, gives a symmetric mounting point at each end, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. This unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clipped on for end-of-stroke signalling.
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 fixtures and guarding where a full-length body will not fit. 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 at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi). Note the 75 mm stroke exceeds the 50 mm standard maximum for this bore, so it is a made-to-order build. The ACPD family is discontinued; the current direct is the ACED12X75 (swap the P for an E) - confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP is DIN-standard.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED12X75S (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 ACPD12X75S Is Used
Presence confirmation on small assembly stations
The through-rod carries a flag at the rear cover while the front rod confirms part seating, and the fitted -S magnet drives a CMSE or DMSE switch at each end of the 75 mm travel.
Push-pull gating in compact test rigs
Because a rod exits both covers, the same 59.4 N at 0.7 MPa moves a sliding gate or shuttle in both directions inside a guard where a full-length body would not fit.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD12X75S with the ACED12X75S
At 42.4 N per side at 0.5 MPa this 12 mm bore suits light clamping, positioning and sensor-flag duty; step up to the 16 mm bore (75.4 N both ways) for roughly 78% more force, or drop to the smallest 12 mm class only if space is absolute. The 75 mm stroke is non-standard for this bore (50 mm max standard), so expect a made-to-order lead time. If the load must stay put when air is lost, add a rod lock or pilot check valve - a plain through-rod cylinder will drift. Mount with FA/FB flange or LB foot brackets, and remember this model already includes the -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches. For new designs, order the ACED12X75 instead, the current-production successor in the same bore, stroke and force class.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED12X75S
- ✓ 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 ACPD12X75S FAQ
Output is equal both ways because the double rod means both strokes use the rod-side area: 42.4 N at 0.5 MPa, 59.4 N at 0.7 MPa, and 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, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end. The 75 mm stroke is a made-to-order length, since the standard maximum for a 12 mm bore is 50 mm.
This model is discontinued. The current-production replacement is the ACED12X75 - swap the P for an E - which matches the same 12 mm bore, 75 mm stroke and force class on the ISO 21287 short body; confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping because the ACP is DIN-standard. This particular unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE and DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be mounted for end-of-stroke detection; on the replacement, order the -S code to get the same switching capability.
