This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACEJ16X100-100, 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 ACPJ16X100-100
The AirTAC ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ16X100-100 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 ACEJ16X100-100 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ16X100-100
The ACPJ16X100-100 is a double acting compact cylinder with an adjustable extend stroke: a stop screw trims the 100 mm stroke anywhere within the ordered 100 mm window, so one unit covers a 0-100 mm working range. Push force is 100.5 N and pull is 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa, rising to 140.7 N at 0.7 MPa. The 100 mm stroke exceeds the 75 mm standard limit for the 16 mm bore, so this unit is made to order. This model is discontinued; the current-production replacement is the ACEJ16X100.
The hard-anodized aluminium body in the ISO 21287 short format saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it suits tight jigs and guard-mounted tooling. A fixed TPU bumper sits at both ends and the S45C hard-chrome rod carries a female M4x0.7 thread. As a rule of thumb, plan on about 60 N (roughly 6 kgf) of usable push at 0.5 MPa, enough to lift about 5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note the stop screw is a mechanical end stop only: on air loss the piston still drifts, so it is not a load-holding brake.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACEJ16X100-100 (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 ACPJ16X100-100 Is Used
Small-parts ejection on assembly fixtures
The 0-100 mm adjustable range lets one cylinder serve several fixture variants, with about 100.5 N of push to eject stamped clips or bushings at 0.5 MPa.
Light clamping in compact jigs
The short ISO 21287 body fits inside guard-restricted jig plates where a full-length profile cylinder will not, delivering roughly 60 N of practical clamp force.
Position-flagged testing stations
With the optional -S magnet ordered, CMSE or DMSE switches report end positions on a QC test bench running 30-500 mm/s cycles.
Replacing the Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ16X100-100 with the ACEJ16X100-100
Size by force first: at 0.5 MPa this 16 mm bore pushes 100.5 N; step down to a 12 mm bore (56.5 N) for lighter clamps or up to a 20 mm bore (157.1 N) for heavier presses. Order the -S code if you need the optional magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches - without it no sensor can be fitted. FA/FB flange and LB foot mounts bolt to the ISO 21287 face, so standard fixtures accept it directly. Since this model is discontinued, spec the ACEJ16X100 as the drop-in successor and confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, because the ACP family is DIN-standard.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACEJ16X100-100
- ✓ 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 ACPJ16X100-100 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 75.4 N; at 0.7 MPa push is 140.7 N and pull 105.6 N; theoretical maximum is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The -100 code gives a 100 mm adjustment window, so the extend stroke can be trimmed anywhere from 0 to 100 mm with the stop screw. The 100 mm stroke is a made-to-order length because the standard maximum for this bore is 75 mm.
No - the ACPJ family is discontinued. The current-production drop-in is the ACEJ16X100, which matches the same bore, stroke and force class in the ISO 21287 short-body format. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your existing DIN-standard fixture before swapping, and remember the magnet is only present when the -S code is ordered.
