This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACEJ16X150-40, 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 ACPJ16X150-40
The AirTAC ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ16X150-40 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 ACEJ16X150-40 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ16X150-40
Double acting compact cylinder with an adjustable extend stroke, the ACPJ16X150-40 uses a 40 mm stop-screw window so the effective stroke can be trimmed anywhere between 110 and 150 mm on site. The 150 mm stroke is longer than the 75 mm standard limit for bore 16, so it is a made-to-order build. Note this model is discontinued; the current-production replacement is ACEJ16X150, same bore, stroke and force class.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which matters in slim gantries and guarded cells. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries an S45C hard-chrome rod, a female M4x0.7 rod thread and fixed TPU bumpers at both ends; the magnet is the optional -S code, so this unit has none and no CMSE / DMSE switch can be fitted.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACEJ16X150-40 (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).

Replacement mapping (swap P for E): ACP→ACE, ASP→ASE, ATP→ATE, ACPD→ACED, ACPJ→ACEJ. ACP-family: ACP (double acting), ASP / ATP (single acting push / pull), ACPD (double rod), ACPJ (double rod, adjustable stroke).
Where the Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ16X150-40 Is Used
Packaging line ejector
At 30-500 mm/s the rod can push lightweight cartons off a belt; the compact body fits the narrow frame space an ISO 15552 profile cylinder cannot.
Lab feed station
The female M4x0.7 rod thread accepts small tooling for dosing or sample indexing, with the 6 kgf usable force matching light vials and trays.
Replacing the Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ16X150-40 with the ACEJ16X150-40
Remember the stop screw trims the extend stroke only and is not a mid-stroke lock - on air loss the rod still drifts. FA/FB flange and LB foot mountings bolt to the standard face. Order the -S variant if position sensing via CMSE / DMSE switches is needed. For new designs specify ACEJ16X150 and confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACEJ16X150-40
- ✓ 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 ACPJ16X150-40 FAQ
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, air filtered to 40 um.
The -40 code gives a 40 mm window: an external stop screw shortens the 150 mm extend stroke to as little as 110 mm; it cannot lengthen it. Fixed TPU bumpers decelerate at both ends. The ACPJ family is discontinued - order ACEJ16X150 as the direct successor and confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions first.
