This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ASE80X15, 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.

The AirTAC ASP Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ASP80X15 is a single acting, push (spring return) DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 15mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ASE80X15 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.
The ASP80X15 is a single acting push cylinder with spring return: air extends the 20 mm rod and the internal spring pulls it back home, so only one air line is needed. In the 80 mm bore class it delivers 2316.2 N of push at 0.5 MPa (3321.5 N at 0.7 MPa), already net of the spring, and it starts working from just 0.2 MPa. The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into tight die and fixture pockets. Note this unit has no magnet fitted, so no switch can be mounted unless you order the optional -S version.
A fixed TPU bumper at each end decelerates the rod, and the hard-anodized aluminium body with S45C hard-chrome rod stands up to workshop air filtered to 40 um. This model is discontinued; the current-production direct is the ASE80X15 (same bore, stroke and force class), so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ASE80X15 (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.
| Pressure | Push force (spring return) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 2316.2 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 3321.5 N |
Single-acting push: air extends the rod; the return spring retracts it. Forces already net the spring; minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa.
| ASP | DIN compact cylinder (single-acting push, spring-return, discontinued). |
|---|---|
| 80 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×15 | Stroke length in mm. |
| S | Optional built-in magnet for sensor position sensing (omit for no magnet). |
| B | Rod type: B = male thread; blank = female thread. |
Replacement mapping (swap P for E): ACP→ACE, ASP→ASE, ATP→ATE, ACPD→ACED, ACPJ→ACEJ. ACP-family: ACP (double acting), ASP / ATP (single acting push / pull), ACPD (double rod), ACPJ (double rod, adjustable stroke).
The 2316.2 N push at 0.5 MPa clamps steel workpieces in a machining fixture, and the 15 mm stroke keeps the clamp arm inside a tight jig wall.
Mounted under a press die, the 80 mm bore kicks finished blanks clear in one short 15 mm kick, with the spring retracting the pin between strokes.
A packaging line uses the short body to press lids onto filled trays; about 118 kg of vertical lift equivalent covers the downforce with margin.
If 2316.2 N at 0.5 MPa is more than your job needs, step down to the 63 mm bore (1420.5 N at 0.5 MPa); if you need more, the 100 mm bore gives 3640.7 N. Remember the spring returns the rod to its retracted home on air loss - it will not hold a mid-stroke position. Match FA/FB flange, LB foot or CA/CB clevis mounting to your fixture, and order the -S code if you want CMSE / DMSE switches. For new builds, specify the ASE80X15 instead, as this ASP is discontinued.
Replacement checklist
This single acting push cylinder gives 2316.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 3321.5 N at 0.7 MPa, both already net of the return spring. Working pressure is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 50-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C, and the 1/4" port takes air filtered to 40 um. The 20 mm rod ends in a female M12x1.75 thread.
Order the ASE80X15: swap the P for an E and you get the current-production ISO 21287 successor in the same bore, stroke and force class. Before swapping, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture, since the ASP was built to a DIN-standard compact format. If you need position switches, the replacement also takes CMSE / DMSE sensors when the magnet option is specified.
Send us the quantity and destination. We confirm price, stock and lead time on the ASE80X15 replacement — usually within 7-8 hours.
