This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACEJ16X15-10B, 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 ACPJ16X15-10B
The AirTAC ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ16X15-10B is a double acting, double rod, adjustable stroke DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 15mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACEJ16X15-10B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ16X15-10B
Double acting and adjustable, the ACPJ16X15-10B is a discontinued DIN-standard compact cylinder with a 16 mm bore and 15 mm stroke. An external stop screw trims the extend stroke anywhere within the 10 mm window, giving a usable range of 5-15 mm on site. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 75.4 N; at 0.7 MPa those figures rise to 140.7 N and 105.6 N. The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight fixtures and guarding.
Plan on roughly 60 N of real work at 0.5 MPa (about 0.6 of the rated push), which vertically lifts around 6 kg with a 2:1 margin. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries an S45C hard-chrome rod, fixed TPU bumpers sit at both ends, and the B code gives a male rod thread on the 8 mm rod. This model is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is ACEJ16X15 in the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACEJ16X15-10B (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 ACPJ16X15-10B Is Used
Small-part press fitting
The 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa seats dowel pins or press-fits nylon bushings in electronics assembly jigs, with the 10 mm window letting you dial the stroke down to 5 mm for shallow inserts.
Fixture clamping on compact machining tables
Clamps a machined bracket against a hard stop inside a CNC fixture where a full-length ISO 15552 cylinder will not fit; the short body cuts mounting length by about half.
Carton flap tuck on a packaging line
At 30-500 mm/s the rod tucks a flap or nudges a carton into a lane; the 15 mm stroke trimmed by up to 10 mm matches shallow product heights without re-piping.
Replacing the Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ16X15-10B with the ACEJ16X15-10B
At 16 mm bore this sits mid-range: the 12 mm bore pushes 56.5 N at 0.5 MPa, while the 20 mm bore reaches 157.1 N, so step up if your jig needs more than about 60 N of working force. The stop screw is a mechanical end stop for the extend stroke only - it does not lock the piston mid-stroke, and on air loss the rod still drifts. FA/FB flange and LB foot mountings bolt to the standard face, and if you need position sensing, order the -S version with the optional magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches; this non-S unit has no magnet. For new builds, specify ACEJ16X15 instead.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACEJ16X15-10B
- ✓ 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 ACPJ16X15-10B 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 -10 code is a 10 mm adjustment window: a stop screw shortens the 15 mm extend stroke, so the usable range is 5-15 mm. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the port is M5x0.8. Note the stop is an end stop, not a mid-stroke lock.
No - the ACPJ family is discontinued. The current-production replacement is ACEJ16X15, the ISO 21287 successor in the same bore, stroke and force class; confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping since the ACP is DIN-standard. The body is hard-anodized aluminium with fixed TPU bumpers at both ends, the B code gives a male thread on the 8 mm rod, and FA/FB flange or LB foot mountings fit the standard face. Position sensing needs the optional -S magnet with CMSE / DMSE switches - this unit has none.
