This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED12X80, 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 ACPD12X80
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD12X80 is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø12mm bore and 80mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED12X80 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD12X80
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD12X80 pushes and pulls with identical 42.4 N output at 0.5 MPa (59.4 N at 0.7 MPa), because both strokes work on the rod-side area of the 12 mm piston. The through-rod resists rotation and light side load, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag or a second tooling plate. AirTAC has discontinued this model; the current-production direct is the ACED12X80 in the same bore, stroke and force class.
The 80 mm stroke is longer than the 50 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it is a made-to-order build - allow lead time and confirm the drawing. The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which suits slim pick-and-place heads and small test rigs. A fixed TPU bumper pads each end, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches - this code has no magnet fitted.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED12X80 (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 ACPD12X80 Is Used
PCB fixture presence check
The through-rod carries a flag on the rear end for a CMSE switch (with the -S magnet) while the front rod confirms a board is seated in a test fixture - 42.4 N is ample for a light probe stroke.
Small-parts ejector on an assembly bench
Equal push and pull lets the same 12 mm cylinder eject a finished bushing and retract a gate, with the fixed TPU bumper quieting both ends at 30-500 mm/s.
Lab sample pusher in a compact analyzer
The short body, about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, fits inside a benchtop instrument housing where the 80 mm made-to-order stroke reaches a reagent tray.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD12X80 with the ACED12X80
At 42.4 N per direction, this bore suits light clamping, part presence checks and small vertical lifts; for heavier work compare the 16 mm bore at 75.4 N or the 20 mm bore at 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa. The 80 mm stroke is non-standard for bore 12 (max standard 50 mm), so order it as a made-to-order item. FA/FB flange and LB foot mounts bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the female M3x0.5 rod thread takes standard I/Y knuckles. If you need position sensing, order the -S code - without it no magnet is fitted and no CMSE / DMSE switch can be read. For new designs, specify the ACED12X80 instead and confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED12X80
- ✓ 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 ACPD12X80 FAQ
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, force is equal both ways: 42.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 59.4 N at 0.7 MPa, on the rod-side area in each direction. Maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 8.6 kgf. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, port M5x0.8, rod 6 mm with a female M3x0.5 thread.
Yes. The maximum standard stroke for a 12 mm bore is 50 mm, so 80 mm is a made-to-order stroke - expect a longer lead time and confirm the drawing. The ACPD family itself is discontinued; the current-production replacement is the ACED12X80 (swap the P for an E), an ISO 21287 compact with the same bore, stroke and force class. Verify the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before converting your fixture, and remember the magnet is only present when the -S code is ordered.
