This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED12X80SB, 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 ACPD12X80SB
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD12X80SB 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 ACED12X80SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD12X80SB
This is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder in the discontinued AirTAC ACPD series. The 12 mm bore pushes and pulls with identical force because a rod exits both covers, so each stroke sees the rod-side area: 42.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 59.4 N at 0.7 MPa. The 80 mm stroke exceeds the 50 mm standard maximum for this bore, so it is a made-to-order length. The B code gives a male rod thread (M3x0.5) and the S code fits the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE switches can be mounted for position feedback.
The hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome rod run on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-500 mm/s, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end. The through-rod resists rotation and side load, and the back-end rod can carry a sensor flag. This model is discontinued; the current-production direct is ACED12X80, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED12X80SB (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 ACPD12X80SB Is Used
Presence verification on small assembly stations
The through-rod carries a switch flag on the rear rod while the front rod confirms a micro-part is seated, with CMSE or DMSE switches reading position at 30-500 mm/s.
Light-duty push-off after a pick-and-place cycle
About 42.4 N in either direction at 0.5 MPa nudges small housings off a nest; the symmetric double-rod mount keeps the push aligned in tight cells.
Compact lab and test-rig actuation
The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, fitting 80 mm of travel inside benchtop fixtures where full-length cylinders will not.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD12X80SB with the ACED12X80SB
At 42.4 N per direction, the 12 mm bore suits light clamping and sensing tasks; step up to the 16 mm bore (75.4 N at 0.5 MPa) if you need nearly double the force, or downsize from 20 mm (117.8 N) to save space. Note that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check for a held load. The male rod thread pairs with I/Y knuckles, and FA/FB flange or LB foot mounts bolt to the ISO 21287 face. Order ACED12X80 as the current replacement and verify its mounting dimensions.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED12X80SB
- ✓ 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 ACPD12X80SB FAQ
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, output is equal both ways (rod-side area on each stroke): 42.4 N at 0.5 MPa, 59.4 N at 0.7 MPa, and up to about 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, temperature -20 to +70 C, port M5x0.8, rod 6 mm with male M3x0.5 thread.
No. The 12 mm bore normally tops out at a 50 mm standard stroke, so 80 mm is a made-to-order length. The ACPD series is discontinued; the current-production successor is ACED12X80 (same bore, stroke and force class). Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP is DIN-standard.
