This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACEJ16X30-10S, 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 ACPJ16X30-10S
The AirTAC ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ16X30-10S is a double acting, double rod, adjustable stroke DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 30mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACEJ16X30-10S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ16X30-10S
Double acting and adjustable, the ACPJ16X30-10S is a discontinued DIN-standard compact cylinder with a 16 mm bore and 30 mm stroke that a stop screw trims by up to 10 mm, giving a usable extend range of 20-30 mm. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 75.4 N, and the -S code means the magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be mounted directly on the hard-anodized aluminium body.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it suits tight jigs and guarded stations. For sizing, treat roughly 60 N (0.6 of the push force) as the practical working effort, and expect it to lift about 5 kg vertically once a 2:1 margin is applied. A fixed TPU bumper sits at both ends, speed runs 30-500 mm/s, and the current drop-in is the ACEJ16X30 - confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACEJ16X30-10S (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 ACPJ16X30-10S Is Used
Small-parts ejector on assembly fixtures
The trimmed 20-30 mm extend range ejects finished clips or pins from a nest without overtravel, with the fitted magnet confirming home position via a CMSE switch.
Light clamping of PCB test fixtures
About 60 N of practical clamping effort at 0.5 MPa holds small circuit boards against a locating rail during probe testing, and the short body fits under the fixture lid.
Position-flagged gate on a lab sorter
The -S magnet and a DMSE solid-state switch signal gate-open on a compact divert station, while the TPU bumper quiets the 30-500 mm/s stroke at both ends.
Replacing the Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ16X30-10S with the ACEJ16X30-10S
At 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa, this 16 mm bore sits between the 12 mm bore (56.5 N) and the 20 mm bore (157.1 N); step up if your tooling needs more than about 60 N of working effort. The 10 mm window trims the extend stroke only - it is a mechanical end stop, not a mid-stroke lock, so the rod still drifts if air is lost. FA/FB flange and LB foot mountings plus the fitted -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches cover most fixture needs. Since this model is discontinued, order the ACEJ16X30 and verify the ISO 21287 footprint first.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACEJ16X30-10S
- ✓ 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 ACPJ16X30-10S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 75.4 N; at 0.7 MPa push rises to 140.7 N and pull to 105.6 N, with a theoretical maximum of 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Plan on about 60 N of real working effort 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 pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and speed 30-500 mm/s.
The -10 code sets a 10 mm adjustment window: an external stop screw shortens the 30 mm extend stroke on site to any length from 20 to 30 mm, though it cannot lengthen the stroke and it does not hold a load if air is lost. The ACPJ family is discontinued; the current-production drop-in is the ACEJ16X30 in the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, and note the magnet here is the fitted -S option, not a default on every cylinder.
