This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACEJ16X60-10, 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 ACPJ16X60-10
The AirTAC ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ16X60-10 is a double acting, double rod, adjustable stroke DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 60mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACEJ16X60-10 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ16X60-10
The ACPJ16X60-10 is a double acting, adjustable-stroke compact cylinder with a 16 mm bore and 60 mm stroke. A stop screw trims the extend stroke by up to 10 mm on site, giving a usable range of 50-60 mm; it shortens the stroke only and never lengthens it.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs and gantries. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries an S45C hard-chrome rod, fixed TPU bumpers at both ends, a female M4x0.7 rod thread and M5x0.8 ports. This model has no magnet fitted; the optional -S code adds one for CMSE / DMSE switches. The ACPJ family is discontinued - the current-production direct is the ACEJ16X60, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACEJ16X60-10 (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 ACPJ16X60-10 Is Used
Compact gating on an assembly cell
The short body, about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, fits between guarding frames where a full-length cylinder will not, moving small plastic housings at 30-500 mm/s.
Replacing the Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ16X60-10 with the ACEJ16X60-10
At 16 mm bore this sits mid-range: the 12 mm bore pushes 56.5 N at 0.5 MPa for lighter clamping, while the 20 mm bore delivers 157.1 N when you need more force in the same short body. The 60 mm stroke is within the 75 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore. Note that the stop screw is a mechanical end stop for the extend stroke, 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 and LB foot mountings bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switch positioning. For new designs, order the ACEJ16X60 instead, matching bore, stroke and force class.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACEJ16X60-10
- ✓ 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 ACPJ16X60-10 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; the theoretical maximum is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The -10 code gives a 10 mm adjustment window: the stop screw shortens the 60 mm extend stroke to any setting from 50 to 60 mm. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, with fixed TPU bumpers at both ends.
Yes, but only if you order the -S variant, which carries the optional magnet for CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches; this standard version has no magnet, so no switch can be mounted. The ACPJ family is discontinued. The current-production replacement is the ACEJ16X60 - swap the P for an E - which matches the same bore, stroke and force class. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP was built to a DIN standard.
