This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED12X80B, 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 ACPD12X80B
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD12X80B 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 ACED12X80B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD12X80B
Double acting with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD12X80B is a discontinued DIN-standard compact cylinder: 12 mm bore, 80 mm stroke, 6 mm rod, M5x0.8 port. Because both strokes work on the rod-side area, output is identical in each direction - 42.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 59.4 N at 0.7 MPa, with 8.6 kgf available at 1.0 MPa. The 80 mm travel is longer than the 50 mm standard stroke for this bore, so it is a made-to-order build. The through-rod resists rotation and side load and lets the rear rod carry a sensor flag or a second tooling plate.
The 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. Air is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and a fixed TPU bumper sits at each end. This model is discontinued; the current-production direct is the ACED12X80 - confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED12X80B (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 ACPD12X80B Is Used
Sensor flag carrier on pick-and-place heads
The rear rod on this 80 mm through-rod build carries a flag past a switch, while the front rod does the 42.4 N push at 0.5 MPa - one cylinder, two functions.
Ejecting small plastic caps from an injection mold
About 25 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa is enough to strip lightweight caps from shallow cores, and the symmetric rod mount keeps the ejector plate square.
Reciprocating gate on a compact lab feeder
Equal 59.4 N output in both directions at 0.7 MPa moves a lightweight gate back and forth at 30-500 mm/s inside a body about half the length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD12X80B with the ACED12X80B
At 12 mm bore the 42.4 N both-ways output suits light clamping, small part ejection and sensor-flag duty. If your load needs more, the 16 mm bore delivers 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa; if 42.4 N is already generous, step down only if a smaller bore exists in your fixture envelope. The 80 mm stroke exceeds the 50 mm standard for this bore, so order it as a made-to-order item. The B code gives a male M3x0.5 rod thread; the port is M5x0.8. This unit has no magnet - order the -S code if you need CMSE or DMSE switches. It will not hold a load if air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check for held positions. Replacement: ACED12X80, same bore, stroke and force class.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED12X80B
- ✓ 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 ACPD12X80B FAQ
Both directions equally, 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, and up to 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, air filtered to 40 um, temperature -20 to +70 C. The 80 mm stroke is a non-standard, made-to-order length for the 12 mm bore, whose standard maximum is 50 mm.
Only if you order the -S variant: the optional -S magnet enables CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches. This non-S model has no magnet, so no switch can be mounted. The ACPD family is discontinued; the current-production direct is the ISO 21287 ACED12X80 (swap the P for an E) in the same bore, stroke and force class. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before converting, since the ACP follows the DIN-standard footprint.
