This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ASE80X15B, 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 ASP80X15B 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 ASE80X15B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.
The ASP80X15B is a single acting push, spring-return compact cylinder: air extends the 20 mm rod and an internal spring retracts it, so only one air line is needed and the rod sits retracted whenever pressure drops below 0.2 MPa. With an 80 mm bore it delivers 2316.2 N of push at 0.5 MPa (3321.5 N at 0.7 MPa), already net of the spring. The hard-anodized aluminium body follows the short ISO 21287-style footprint, saving roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and a fixed TPU bumper pads both ends of travel.
The B code gives a male rod thread and the 1/4" port suits higher flow at this bore. Note that this model is discontinued: the current-production replacement is the ASE80X15, which matches the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ASE80X15B (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 an aluminium gearbox housing against a hard stop on a machining fixture, and the spring retracts the clamp automatically if air pressure is lost.
A 15 mm stroke is enough to push stamped brackets clear of a press die between cycles, with the 20 mm rod resisting buckling at full 3321.5 N output at 0.7 MPa.
Presses snap-on lids onto 5 L lubricant pails at the end of a packaging conveyor; the short body fits inside the guard where a full-length profile cylinder would not.
Size by force: the 63 mm bore gives 1420.5 N at 0.5 MPa if your load is lighter, while the 100 mm bore reaches 3640.7 N for heavier clamping. Because the spring drives the rod home on air loss, this cylinder cannot hold a mid-stroke position - pick the double-acting ACE family if you need controlled motion in both directions. The male rod thread (B) pairs with I/Y knuckles, and FA/FB flange, LB foot or CA/CB clevis mounts bolt to the standard face. Order the -S code only if you want the optional magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches; without it no sensor can be fitted. Replacement: ASE80X15.
Replacement checklist
At 0.5 MPa the push force is 2316.2 N, rising to 3321.5 N at 0.7 MPa - both figures are net of the return spring. Operating range is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure; below 0.2 MPa the spring wins and the rod retracts. Speed range is 50-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C, and the air must be filtered to 40 um.
Order the ASE80X15, the current-production ISO 21287 successor: swap the P for an E and you get the same 80 mm bore, 15 mm stroke and force class in a matching short body. Before swapping, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture, since the ASP follows the older DIN-standard compact layout. Mounting brackets (FA/FB, LB, CA/CB) and the optional -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches are available on the replacement.
