This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED12X90, 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 ACPD12X90
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD12X90 is a double acting, double rod DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø12mm bore and 90mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACED12X90 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD12X90
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACPD12X90 pushes and pulls with identical output: 42.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 59.4 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction, because both strokes work on the rod-side area of the 12 mm bore. The through-rod resists rotation and light side load, gives a symmetric mounting point at each end, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. A fixed TPU bumper sits at both covers to soften end-of-travel impact. Note that this 90 mm stroke is beyond the 50 mm standard limit for bore 12, so it is a made-to-order build.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod follows the short ISO 21287-style footprint, cutting roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder - handy inside small fixtures and sliding guards. Running on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), it covers 30-500 mm/s. This model is discontinued; the current direct is the ACED12X90, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED12X90 (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 ACPD12X90 Is Used
Two-position part detection
Mount a workpiece carrier between the twin 6 mm rods of the ACPD12X90 on a small assembly station; the rear rod carries a flag so a switch reads both end positions on a 90 mm travel.
Micro press for electronics
Pushing with 42.4 N from each side at 0.5 MPa, the cylinder seats ribbon-cable connectors or small PCB spacers where only a few newtons of controlled force are needed.
Bidirectional slide gate
On a compact lab automation slide, the through-rod drives a lightweight gate 90 mm left or right with equal 59.4 N force at 0.7 MPa, so no direction change alters cycle behavior.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD12X90 with the ACED12X90
At 42.4 N per side at 0.5 MPa, bore 12 suits light clamping, small part ejection and sensor-flag duty. If your load needs more, bore 16 delivers 75.4 N and bore 20 reaches 117.8 N in both directions; bore 25 gives 206.2 N if headroom matters. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost - for a held position add a rod lock or pilot check valve. The 90 mm stroke is non-standard for this bore and built to order. This cylinder has no magnet fitted; order the -S code if you need CMSE / DMSE switch positions. For new projects, specify the ACED12X90 instead, the current ISO 21287 successor.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED12X90
- ✓ 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 ACPD12X90 FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, output is equal both ways: 42.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 59.4 N at 0.7 MPa per direction, with a maximum of 8.6 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Both strokes use the rod-side area of the 12 mm bore, so push and pull are identical. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s and pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
Bore 12 tops out at 50 mm as a standard stroke, so 90 mm is a made-to-order build with a longer lead time. Also note this model is discontinued: the current-production replacement is the ACED12X90, an ISO 21287 compact cylinder in the same bore, stroke and force class. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before swapping, and remember the fixed TPU bumpers only soften the ends of travel - they never hold a load.
