This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACEJ16X160-100SB, 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 ACPJ16X160-100SB
The AirTAC ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ16X160-100SB is a double acting, double rod, adjustable stroke DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 160mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACEJ16X160-100SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ16X160-100SB
Double acting compact cylinder with an adjustable extend stroke, the ACPJ16X160-100SB carries a 16 mm bore, a 160 mm made-to-order stroke and a 100 mm trim window, so the stop screw sets the usable extend range anywhere from 60 to 160 mm on site. 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 peak of 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The male rod thread (B code) and M5x0.8 ports suit small clamping fixtures.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod keeps the mounting length about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into tight jig plates and guard rails. A fixed TPU bumper sits at both ends and only decelerates the piston at the extremes. Because 100.5 N of push translates to roughly 10 kgf, plan on lifting about 5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin, or apply about 60 N of real work at 0.5 MPa. Note this model is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is the ACEJ16X160, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. The fitted -S magnet accepts CMSE / DMSE switches.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACEJ16X160-100SB (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 ACPJ16X160-100SB Is Used
Small-part ejection on rotary indexing tables
The 60-160 mm adjustable extend range lets a fixture builder dial in the exact eject position for connector housings, using the 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa to clear parts from nests without damaging them.
Sample vial pusher in laboratory automation
A 16 mm bore with male rod thread and M5x0.8 ports fits compact lab deck plates; the -S magnet with a DMSE switch confirms vial-present positions along the 160 mm travel.
Carton flap tuck-down on a packaging line
At 30-500 mm/s the cylinder folds flaps on small cartons; the stop screw trims the stroke per carton size, and the short body fits where a full-length profile cylinder cannot.
Replacing the Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ16X160-100SB with the ACEJ16X160-100SB
Size both ways: if 100.5 N of push at 0.5 MPa is more than your fixture needs, the ACPJ12 at 56.5 N saves space; if you need more, the ACPJ20 delivers 157.1 N in the same short-body family. The 160 mm stroke exceeds the 75 mm standard maximum for bore 16, so it is built to order. The stop screw trims the extend stroke only - it is a mechanical end stop, not a mid-stroke lock, so the piston still drifts if air is lost. Order FA/FB flange or LB foot hardware to match the ISO 21287 face, and remember the -S magnet (fitted here) is what enables CMSE / DMSE switch mounting. For new designs, specify the ACEJ16X160 instead, as this ACPJ is discontinued.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACEJ16X160-100SB
- ✓ 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 ACPJ16X160-100SB 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. In practice plan on about 60 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, which corresponds to lifting roughly 5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, with M5x0.8 ports and an 8 mm male-threaded rod.
No. The maximum standard stroke for a 16 mm bore is 75 mm, so 160 mm is a non-standard, made-to-order length. The ACPJ family itself is discontinued; the current-production replacement is the ACEJ16X160 (ISO 21287), which matches the same bore, stroke and force class. Because the ACP is DIN-standard, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. The fixed TPU bumpers at both ends simply decelerate the piston at each end of travel.
