This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACEJ16X110-20S, 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 ACPJ16X110-20S
The AirTAC ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ16X110-20S is a double acting, double rod, adjustable stroke DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 110mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACEJ16X110-20S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ16X110-20S
This ACPJ16X110-20S is a double acting compact cylinder with an adjustable extend stroke: a stop screw trims the 110 mm stroke by up to 20 mm on site, giving a usable 90-110 mm range. Air works on both faces of the piston, so the rod extends and retracts under power. At 0.5 MPa the 16 mm bore delivers 100.5 N push and 75.4 N pull, rising to 140.7 N push at 0.7 MPa. The 110 mm stroke exceeds the 75 mm standard limit for bore 16, so it is a made-to-order build. This model is discontinued; the current-production replacement is the ACEJ16X110, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into slim fixtures and guarded cells. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries an S45C hard-chrome rod, fixed TPU bumpers at both ends and the optional -S magnet, which this unit has fitted, so CMSE / DMSE switches can read position directly. As a sizing rule of thumb, plan on about 60 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, and for vertical lifts that works out to lifting roughly 5 kg with a 2:1 margin. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s over 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) of clean, 40 um filtered air.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACEJ16X110-20S (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 ACPJ16X110-20S Is Used
Small-parts ejection on assembly fixtures
The 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa is enough to kick stamped terminals or molded caps off a nest, and the 90-110 mm adjustable window lets a technician dial the eject position without shimming the mount.
Position-verified gate latch on a packaging line
With the -S magnet fitted, a CMSE or DMSE switch confirms the 16 mm bore rod is fully home before the carton closer cycles, at speeds from 30-500 mm/s.
Light press-fit of bushings in electronics jigs
About 60 N of practical working force at 0.5 MPa suits seating small nylon or aluminium bushings, and the compact short body fits where a full-length profile cylinder cannot.
Replacing the Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ16X110-20S with the ACEJ16X110-20S
Size against neighbours: the 12 mm bore gives 56.5 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to 20 mm raises it to 157.1 N - pick 16 mm when 100.5 N covers the job with headroom. Remember the stop screw only shortens the extend stroke within the 20 mm window; it is a mechanical end stop, not a mid-stroke lock, so the rod can still drift if air is lost. FA/FB flanges and LB feet bolt to the standard face, and the fitted -S magnet pairs with CMSE / DMSE switches. For new designs, order the ACEJ16X110 instead - same bore, stroke and force class, in current production.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACEJ16X110-20S
- ✓ 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 ACPJ16X110-20S FAQ
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 and 105.6 N pull, with a theoretical maximum of 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The -20 code gives a 20 mm adjustment window, so the 110 mm stroke can be trimmed anywhere between 90 and 110 mm with the external stop screw. The stroke is non-standard for this bore (75 mm max standard) and made to order.
The body is hard-anodized aluminium with an S45C hard-chrome rod, M5x0.8 ports, a female M4x0.7 rod thread and fixed TPU bumpers at both ends. It is a short ISO 21287-class design, roughly 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount directly. Note the model is discontinued - the drop-in successor is the ACEJ16X110, so verify ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before ordering.
