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

About the Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ16X100-100S
Double acting and adjustable, the ACPJ16X100-100S is a discontinued DIN-standard compact cylinder with a 16 mm bore and a 100 mm stroke. The -100 code gives a 100 mm adjustment window: an external stop screw trims the extend stroke anywhere in a 0-100 mm range, so one cylinder can be tuned on the machine without changing parts. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 75.4 N; at 0.7 MPa that rises to 140.7 N push. The 100 mm stroke exceeds the 75 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it is a made-to-order item. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be mounted for end-of-stroke sensing.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it suits tight jigs and guarding where a full-length body will not fit. A rule of thumb: about 60 N of the 100.5 N push is realistic working force at 0.5 MPa, which lifts roughly 6 kg vertically - halve that to about 3 kg if you want a 2:1 margin for a real part weight. Note that the stop screw is a mechanical end stop, not a mid-stroke lock: on air loss the piston still drifts. Production has ended; the current drop-in is the ACEJ16X100 in the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP is DIN-standard.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACEJ16X100-100S (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 ACPJ16X100-100S Is Used
Small-parts ejection in plastic molding
A 100 mm extend stroke trimmed down to 60 mm on the machine clears thin-walled caps from a mold nest; 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa is enough for lightweight parts.
Position-checked test fixtures
The -S magnet with CMSE or DMSE switches confirms full retraction of an 8 mm rod probe before a leak or electrical test cycle starts.
Pick-and-place drop stations
In a compact gantry head, the 0-100 mm adjustment window lets one cylinder serve trays of different depths; about 6 kg vertical lift at 0.5 MPa covers small components.
Replacing the Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ16X100-100S with the ACEJ16X100-100S
Size both ways before ordering: the ACPJ12X100-100S gives about 56.5 N push at 0.5 MPa if your load is lighter, while the ACPJ20X100-100S reaches 157.1 N if you need more. Match the mounting to your fixture - FA/FB flange or LB foot bolt to the standard face - and remember the magnet here is the -S option this model already carries. The ACPJ16X100-100S is discontinued; order the ACEJ16X100 as the current replacement and verify ISO 21287 mounting dimensions first.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACEJ16X100-100S
- ✓ 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 ACPJ16X100-100S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 75.4 N; at 0.7 MPa, 140.7 N push and 105.6 N pull; theoretical maximum is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C, air filtered to 40 um. Port is M5x0.8, rod thread is female M4x0.7, and the 100 mm stroke is a made-to-order length above the 75 mm standard maximum for this bore.
The -100 code is a 100 mm window: an external stop screw shortens the extend stroke anywhere from 0 to 100 mm. It is a mechanical end stop only - it never holds or brakes a load, and the piston drifts if air is lost. The ACPJ family is discontinued; the current-production drop-in is the ACEJ16X100 (same bore, stroke and force class). Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, because the ACP is DIN-standard.
