This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACEJ12X200-10SB, 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 ACPJ12X200-10SB
The AirTAC ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ12X200-10SB is a double acting, double rod, adjustable stroke DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø12mm bore and 200mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACEJ12X200-10SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ12X200-10SB
This is a double acting compact cylinder with an adjustable extend stroke: a stop screw trims the 200 mm stroke by up to 10 mm, giving a usable range of 190-200 mm. The 12 mm bore delivers 56.5 N push and 42.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa, rising to 79.2 N push at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 11.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 200 mm stroke exceeds the 50 mm standard maximum for this bore, so it is a made-to-order build. This model is discontinued; the current-production replacement is ACEJ12X200.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it suits narrow slides and compact fixtures. A fixed TPU bumper sits at both ends, and the -S code on this unit means the magnet is fitted, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be mounted directly. As a rule of thumb, plan on roughly 33.9 N (about 3.5 kg) of real work at 0.5 MPa rather than the full rating, and expect it to lift about 2.9 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at 30-500 mm/s.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACEJ12X200-10SB (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 ACPJ12X200-10SB Is Used
Lab sample pusher
The 56.5 N push at 0.5 MPa is enough to advance small sample trays into a test station, with the 190-200 mm trim range matching shallow fixtures.
Vision-check ejector
With the fitted -S magnet and a CMSE switch, the controller confirms the rod is home before the camera cycle starts on a small-parts inspection line.
Compact jig clamp
The short body, about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, fits inside tight drill jigs where a full-length body cannot reach the 200 mm stroke.
Replacing the Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ12X200-10SB with the ACEJ12X200-10SB
At 56.5 N push at 0.5 MPa this bore sits at the light end of the range; step up to bore 16 for 100.5 N or bore 20 for 157.1 N if the load is heavier. The male rod thread (B code) suits knuckle and external tooling, while the fitted -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE position sensing. Remember the stop screw only shortens the extend stroke and does not hold a load on air loss. Before ordering, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions of the ACEJ12X200 replacement, since this ACP body follows the older DIN standard.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACEJ12X200-10SB
- ✓ 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 ACPJ12X200-10SB FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the 12 mm bore gives 56.5 N push and 42.4 N pull; at 0.7 MPa it gives 79.2 N push and 59.4 N pull; theoretical maximum is 11.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. For sizing, count on about 33.9 N (roughly 3.5 kg) of usable force at 0.5 MPa, or about 2.9 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin.
The -10 code provides a 10 mm window: an external stop screw shortens the 200 mm extend stroke to any setting between 190 and 200 mm; it never lengthens the stroke and it is not a mid-stroke lock. The ACPJ family is discontinued, so order the ACEJ12X200 as the current drop-in and verify the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
