This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACED12X90SB, 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 ACPD12X90SB
The AirTAC ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD12X90SB 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 ACED12X90SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD12X90SB
The ACPD12X90SB is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder in the DIN-standard ACP series, now discontinued. A 6 mm rod exits both covers, so the 12 mm bore delivers 42.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 59.4 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction - both strokes work on the rod-side area, so push and pull are identical. The 90 mm stroke exceeds the 50 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it is a made-to-order build. The male rod thread (B code) and the -S magnet are both fitted, letting CMSE or DMSE switches report position on either end.
The hard-anodized aluminium body follows the ISO 21287 short format, cutting roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder - useful in slim pick-and-place heads and tight test fixtures. Fixed TPU bumpers sit at both ends, and the through-rod resists rotation and side load while the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. Plan on about 25 N (roughly 2.5 kg vertical) of usable force at 0.5 MPa rather than the full rating. For new projects, order the current-production ACED12X90 and confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACED12X90SB (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 ACPD12X90SB Is Used
Lab sample pusher
The 42.4 N per-direction force and 90 mm stroke slide sample trays between test stations on compact benchtop analyzers where a full-length body will not fit.
Position-flagged gate
With the -S magnet fitted, CMSE or DMSE switches on either end confirm open/closed states on small diverting gates in electronics assembly lines.
Symmetric ejector
The male-threaded through-rod drives a small ejector plate from both sides in a plastics inspection jig, keeping equal 59.4 N force at 0.7 MPa in each travel.
Replacing the Airtac ACPD Double Rod Compact Cylinder ACPD12X90SB with the ACED12X90SB
At 42.4 N per direction this is the lightest ACPD bore - step up to the 16 mm bore (75.4 N) for twice the load, or down is not possible since 12 mm is the smallest. The through-rod suits symmetric clamping and guided tooling, but the piston will drift if air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check for held loads. The -S magnet is already on this model; pair it with CMSE or DMSE switches. The 90 mm stroke is non-standard for bore 12 (max standard 50 mm), so expect a made-to-order lead time - or specify the ACED12X90, the current ISO 21287 direct.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACED12X90SB
- ✓ 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 ACPD12X90SB FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design means both strokes use the rod-side area, so force is equal both ways: 42.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 59.4 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum of 8.6 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the 90 mm stroke is a made-to-order length above the 50 mm standard maximum for bore 12.
Order the ACED12X90, the current-production ISO 21287 successor: swap the P for an E and you get the same 12 mm bore, 90 mm stroke and force class with a matching short body and mounting family. Because the ACP is DIN-standard, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before swapping. The male rod thread and -S magnet options carry over.
