This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACEJ16X160-10S, 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 ACPJ16X160-10S
The AirTAC ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ16X160-10S 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 ACEJ16X160-10S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ16X160-10S
The ACPJ16X160-10S is a double acting compact cylinder with an adjustable extend stroke: a stop screw trims the 160 mm stroke by up to 10 mm, giving a usable range of 150-160 mm on site. The 16 mm bore delivers 100.5 N push and 75.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa, rising to 140.7 N push at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical peak of 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. This unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be mounted for end-of-stroke sensing.
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, guards and slides where a full-length body will not reach. As a working rule, plan for roughly 60 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 3 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note that the 160 mm stroke exceeds the 75 mm maximum standard stroke for bore 16, so this is a made-to-order build. The ACPJ family is discontinued; the current drop-in replacement is the ACEJ16X160, and buyers should confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACEJ16X160-10S (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 ACPJ16X160-10S Is Used
Fixture clamping on CNC jigs
The 150-160 mm adjustable reach clamps workpieces on machining jigs where the 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa is enough, and the short body fits inside the fixture envelope.
Position-verified ejector on small assembly lines
With the fitted -S magnet and a CMSE switch, the 160 mm stroke confirms part ejection before the next station indexes, running 30-500 mm/s.
Product diverter on packaging conveyors
The 75.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa retracts a lightweight pusher arm to divert small cartons, while the compact body mounts under low guard rails.
Replacing the Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ16X160-10S with the ACEJ16X160-10S
At 16 mm bore this cylinder sits between the 12 mm size (56.5 N push at 0.5 MPa) and the 20 mm size (157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa). If your load needs more than about 60 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa, step up to bore 20. The stop screw only shortens the extend stroke and is not a mid-stroke lock: on air loss the piston still drifts, so do not rely on it to hold a load. FA/FB flange or LB foot mounting bolts onto the standard face, and the fitted -S magnet works with CMSE / DMSE switches. This model is discontinued - order the ACEJ16X160 as the current-production equivalent and verify ISO 21287 mounting dimensions.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACEJ16X160-10S
- ✓ 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 ACPJ16X160-10S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 75.4 N; at 0.7 MPa it pushes 140.7 N and pulls 105.6 N; theoretical maximum is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The -10 code gives a 10 mm adjustment window, so the 160 mm extend stroke can be trimmed anywhere in a 150-160 mm range with the stop screw. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the 160 mm stroke is a made-to-order length above the 75 mm standard maximum for bore 16.
No - the ACPJ16X160-10S is discontinued. The current-production replacement is the ACEJ16X160, which swaps the P for an E and matches the same bore, stroke and force class in the ISO 21287 short-body format. Because the ACP was built to a DIN-standard footprint, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. The replacement keeps the FA/FB flange and LB foot options, and the -S magnet code for CMSE / DMSE switch sensing.
