This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACEJ12X10-10SB, 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 ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ12X10-10SB
The AirTAC ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ12X10-10SB is a double acting, double rod, adjustable stroke DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø12mm bore and 10mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACEJ12X10-10SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ12X10-10SB
A double acting compact cylinder with an adjustable stroke, the ACPJ12X10-10SB runs on a 12 mm bore and delivers 56.5 N of push force and 42.4 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. The -10 code gives a 10 mm adjustment window, so an external stop screw trims the extend stroke anywhere within the ordered 10 mm range on site. The short ISO 21287-style body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it fits slim jigs and guarded stations where a full-length body cannot. This model is discontinued; the current-production replacement is ACEJ12X10, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
Because the bore is small, plan real work at roughly 34 N (about 0.6 of the push rating) at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 2.8 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The S code means the magnet is fitted, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be mounted for end-of-stroke sensing, and the B code gives a male rod thread. A fixed TPU bumper sits at both ends, the hard-anodized aluminium body carries M5x0.8 ports, and speed spans 30-500 mm/s across 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) of clean, 40 um filtered air.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACEJ12X10-10SB (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 |
ACPJ is double-rod: the rear rod that carries the stroke adjuster exits the rear cover, so both piston faces lose rod area. The rod-side (annular) area is used for both directions (conservative).

Where the Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ12X10-10SB Is Used
Micro part ejection
Ejects small stamped terminals or connector pins off a die with the 10 mm trimmed extend stroke, using about 34 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa.
Sensor-confirmed clamp
Clamps thin PCB fixtures in a test station; the fitted magnet drives a CMSE switch so the PLC verifies the clamped position before the test starts.
Bottle cap press-check
Presses a short probe onto cosmetic bottle caps on a packaging line, lifting about 2.8 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin at 0.5 MPa.
Replacing the Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ12X10-10SB with the ACEJ12X10-10SB
At 56.5 N push at 0.5 MPa this 12 mm bore suits light clamping and positioning; step down is not available below this bore, while the 16 mm bore (100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa) covers roughly double the load. The stop screw only shortens the extend stroke and is not a mid-stroke lock, so the piston still drifts if air is lost. FA/FB flange or LB foot mounts bolt to the standard face, and the fitted -S magnet accepts CMSE / DMSE switches. For new projects order the current ACEJ12X10 instead.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACEJ12X10-10SB
- ✓ Same bore / stroke / force class
- ✓ Confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G)
- ✓ Add -S for magnet if you need sensors
Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ12X10-10SB FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 56.5 N and pulls 42.4 N; at 0.7 MPa it pushes 79.2 N and pulls 59.4 N, with a theoretical maximum of 11.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The -10 code sets a 10 mm adjustment window: a stop screw shortens the 10 mm extend stroke on site, so the usable range is 0-10 mm. It shortens the stroke only and does not hold a load if air is lost. Speed is 30-500 mm/s at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
No, the ACPJ family is discontinued. The current-production drop-in is ACEJ12X10 in the same bore, stroke and force class; confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping since the ACP is DIN-standard. This unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be fitted, and it mounts via FA/FB flange or LB foot with a male rod thread and M5x0.8 ports.
