This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACEJ16X100-10, 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 ACPJ16X100-10
The AirTAC ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ16X100-10 is a double acting, double rod, adjustable stroke DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 100mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACEJ16X100-10 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ16X100-10
Double acting and adjustable, the ACPJ16X100-10 uses a 10 mm stop-screw window to trim its 100 mm extend stroke anywhere between 90 and 100 mm on site. The 16 mm bore delivers 100.5 N push and 75.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa, rising to 140.7 N push at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical peak of 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 100 mm stroke is beyond the 75 mm standard maximum for this bore, so it is a made-to-order build. Note this model is discontinued; the current-production replacement is ACEJ16X100.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which matters inside tight jigs and guarding. In practice, plan on roughly 60 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin - enough for small fixture plates or light covers. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries an S45C hard-chrome rod, fixed TPU bumpers sit at both ends, and the rod end is female M4x0.7. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACEJ16X100-10 (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 (Ø16mm)
| Pressure | Force (both ways) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 75 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 106 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 15 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 ACPJ16X100-10 Is Used
Small-part ejection on assembly benches
A 90-100 mm trimmed extend stroke with about 60 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa clears finished clips or bushings from a nest without disturbing the next part.
Gate interlock on a compact packaging head
The short body fits behind a guard where a full-length profile cylinder will not, and the stop screw lets you match the gate travel exactly between 90 and 100 mm.
Sample press in a lab fixture
About 5 kg of vertical force with a 2:1 margin seats vials or lids gently; the female M4x0.7 rod thread takes a standard knuckle for quick tooling changes.
Replacing the Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ16X100-10 with the ACEJ16X100-10
At 16 mm bore you sit mid-range: the 12 mm bore gives 56.5 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the 20 mm bore reaches 157.1 N - step up if your part weight approaches the 5 kg vertical-lift figure. The stop screw only shortens the extend stroke and does not lock the piston; on air loss the rod still drifts, so add a separate clamp if you need position holding. FA/FB flange and LB foot mountings fit the standard face, and if you want CMSE / DMSE switches you must order the optional -S magnet version, since this code has no magnet. Before swapping to ACEJ16X100, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACEJ16X100-10
- ✓ 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 ACPJ16X100-10 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 75.4 N; at 0.7 MPa it pushes 140.7 N and pulls 105.6 N. The theoretical maximum is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and speed is 30-500 mm/s. The 100 mm stroke is a made-to-order length, since the standard maximum for a 16 mm bore is 75 mm.
The -10 code gives a 10 mm window: a stop screw shortens the 100 mm extend stroke to any length down to 90 mm. It is a mechanical end stop only - it never holds a load if air is lost. This ACPJ is discontinued; the current drop-in is ACEJ16X100 in the same bore, stroke and force class. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, and remember the magnet is only fitted when you order the optional -S code.
