This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED12X80S, 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 ACPD12X80S
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD12X80S 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 ACED12X80S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD12X80S
This is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder: a piston rod exits both covers, so the 12 mm bore delivers the same 42.4 N at 0.5 MPa (59.4 N at 0.7 MPa) on every stroke, since both sides work on the rod-side area. The 80 mm stroke is longer than the 50 mm standard maximum for this bore, so it is a made-to-order build. The -S code means the magnet is fitted, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be mounted for end-of-stroke sensing.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it suits slim slides and tight gantries. A fixed TPU bumper sits at both ends, and the through-rod resists rotation and can carry a sensor flag on the rear end. Note this model is discontinued: the current direct is the ACED12X80, and you should confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP is DIN-standard.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED12X80S (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 ACPD12X80S Is Used
Position feedback on small assembly stations
With the fitted -S magnet, CMSE or DMSE switches confirm cap or connector seating on electronics assembly fixtures where the 80 mm made-to-order stroke reaches a deep pocket.
Symmetric push-pull transfer slide
Equal 42.4 N thrust in both directions at 0.5 MPa lets a single cylinder push a small tray out and retract it with identical force on a compact linear slide.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD12X80S with the ACED12X80S
For a 12 mm bore the equal-force output is 42.4 N at 0.5 MPa in both directions. If you need more, the 16 mm bore gives 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa; if less will do, there is no smaller bore in this family, so check whether a shorter stroke on the same bore fits. The 80 mm stroke exceeds the 50 mm standard maximum, so order it as a non-standard build. The through-rod does not hold position when air is lost - for a held load add a rod lock or pilot check. This unit is discontinued; the ACED12X80 is the current replacement in the same bore, stroke and force class.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED12X80S
- ✓ 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 ACPD12X80S FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design puts a rod through both covers, so both strokes use the rod-side area. At 0.5 MPa you get 42.4 N each way, at 0.7 MPa you get 59.4 N each way, and the maximum at 1.0 MPa is 8.6 kgf. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, speed 30-500 mm/s, and the 80 mm stroke is a made-to-order length above the 50 mm standard maximum for this bore.
Order the ACED12X80: swap the P for an E and you get the current-production ISO 21287 compact cylinder in the same 12 mm bore, 80 mm stroke and force class. It keeps the M5x0.8 port, the M3x0.5 female rod thread and the FA/FB flange or LB foot mounting family, but confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before the swap because the ACP was built to the DIN standard.
