This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACEJ16X150-30, 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 ACPJ16X150-30
The AirTAC ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ16X150-30 is a double acting, double rod, adjustable stroke DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 150mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACEJ16X150-30 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ16X150-30
This is a double acting compact cylinder with an adjustable extend stroke: the -30 code gives a 30 mm stop-screw window, so the 150 mm stroke can be trimmed anywhere in a 120-150 mm range on site. Note the 150 mm stroke exceeds the 75 mm standard maximum for bore 16, so it is a made-to-order build.
The hard-anodized aluminium body carries an S45C hard-chrome rod with a female M4x0.7 thread and M5x0.8 ports, running at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and 30-500 mm/s with fixed TPU bumpers at both ends. This model is discontinued: the current direct is the ACEJ16X150, and buyers should confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP is DIN-standard.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACEJ16X150-30 (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 ACPJ16X150-30 Is Used
Product push-off at a packaging bench
A short-body cylinder fits under low guarding to nudge cartons off a narrow conveyor, and the trimmed stroke keeps the push consistent batch to batch.
Replacing the Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ16X150-30 with the ACEJ16X150-30
Size the bore by load: at 0.5 MPa the 16 mm bore pushes 100.5 N, while the 12 mm bore manages only 56.5 N and the 20 mm bore reaches 157.1 N - step up to 20 mm if your jig needs margin above about 60 N of working force. The stop screw trims the extend stroke only; it is a mechanical end stop, not a mid-stroke lock, so the rod can still drift if air is lost. Mounting uses FA/FB flanges or LB feet on the ISO 21287 face, and position sensing requires the optional -S magnet code with CMSE / DMSE switches - without -S there is no magnet. Order the ACEJ16X150 as the current-production replacement.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACEJ16X150-30
- ✓ 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 ACPJ16X150-30 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 75.4 N; at 0.7 MPa those rise to 140.7 N and 105.6 N, with a theoretical maximum of 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 16 mm bore uses M5x0.8 ports and an M4x0.7 female rod thread, runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof tested to 1.5 MPa (215 psi), from -20 to +70 C at 30-500 mm/s. The 150 mm stroke is a made-to-order length because the standard maximum for bore 16 is 75 mm.
An external stop screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 30 mm, giving a usable 120-150 mm range; it cannot lengthen the stroke past the ordered 150 mm. The stop is a mechanical end stop only - it never holds or brakes a load, and the fixed TPU bumpers simply decelerate the piston at each end. This ACPJ is discontinued; the ACEJ16X150 is the current ISO 21287 direct in the same bore, stroke and force class, so confirm mounting dimensions before converting.
