This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED12X75SB, 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 ACPD12X75SB
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD12X75SB 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 ACED12X75SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD12X75SB
This is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder: a 6 mm piston rod exits both covers of the 12 mm bore body, so the through-rod gives equal output force on every stroke - 42.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 59.4 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction. The 75 mm stroke is longer than the 50 mm standard limit for this bore, so it is a made-to-order build. The S code means the optional -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clipped on for end-position sensing, and the B code gives a male rod thread.
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 pick-and-place heads and tight sensor gantries. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a fixed TPU bumper at each end, and the rear rod is handy for carrying a sensor flag. Note this model is discontinued: the current-production direct is ACED12X75, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED12X75SB (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 ACPD12X75SB Is Used
Position-flagged test fixtures
The rear rod carries a flag past a CMSE or DMSE switch, giving a second confirmation point on a 75 mm stroke in a compact electronics test jig.
Small-part ejection
Equal 42.4 N force in both directions pushes tiny stamped or moulded parts off a nest and retracts with identical power, at speeds from 30 to 500 mm/s.
Lab slide actuation
The symmetric through-rod drives a microscope or analyser slide where a back-end rod is needed for a home-position sensor and space is minimal.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD12X75SB with the ACED12X75SB
At 42.4 N per side at 0.5 MPa this bore suits light clamping and small-part transfer; step down is not available in this family, while the 16 mm bore gives 75.4 N if you need more push. The through-rod resists rotation and light side load and gives a symmetric mount, but the piston will drift if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check where a load must be held. FA/FB flange or LB foot mounting bolts to the ISO 21287 face. This ACPD is discontinued; order ACED12X75 as the current equivalent and verify mounting dimensions.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED12X75SB
- ✓ 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 ACPD12X75SB FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, force is equal both ways: 42.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 59.4 N at 0.7 MPa on every stroke (rod-side area). Maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 8.6 kgf. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, air filtered to 40 um, temperature -20 to +70 C.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end and FA/FB flange or LB foot options. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches can be mounted. It is discontinued - the current direct is ACED12X75; confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before ordering.
