This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACEJ16X60-30S, 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 ACPJ16X60-30S
The AirTAC ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ16X60-30S 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 ACEJ16X60-30S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ16X60-30S
The ACPJ16X60-30S is a double acting compact cylinder with an adjustable extend stroke: the -30 stop screw trims the 60 mm stroke down to as little as 30 mm on site, so one unit covers a 30-60 mm working range. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 75.4 N, rising to 140.7 N on the extend stroke at 0.7 MPa. The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into tight fixtures a full-length body cannot reach.
This bore 16 unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clamped on for end-of-stroke signalling. In practice, plan on about 60 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, which lifts roughly 5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note this ACPJ family is discontinued; the current-production drop-in is the ACEJ16X60, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACEJ16X60-30S (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 ACPJ16X60-30S Is Used
Small-parts ejector on assembly fixtures
A 30-60 mm adjustable stroke ejects finished electronics components from a nest, with the 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa clearing light plastic or stamped parts reliably.
Position-verified clamping in test rigs
The fitted -S magnet drives CMSE or DMSE switches at both ends, so a PCB test fixture confirms the clamp is fully retracted before the cycle starts.
Compact press head for lab devices
With about 60 N of practical working force and a trimmed stroke, the short body fits inside a benchtop medical-device press where a profile cylinder will not.
Replacing the Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ16X60-30S with the ACEJ16X60-30S
Size by force: bore 12 gives 56.5 N push at 0.5 MPa, this 16 mm bore delivers 100.5 N, and stepping up to bore 20 reaches 157.1 N - choose the next bore up if your jig needs more than about 60 N of working force. The adjuster is a mechanical end stop for the extend stroke only, not a mid-stroke lock, so the rod can still drift if air is lost. FA/FB flange and LB foot mountings bolt to the standard face, and the fitted -S magnet accepts CMSE / DMSE switches. Order the ACEJ16X60 as the current replacement.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACEJ16X60-30S
- ✓ 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 ACPJ16X60-30S 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. The -30 adjustment window lets a stop screw trim the 60 mm extend stroke anywhere down to 30 mm. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, with a fixed TPU bumper at both ends.
No - 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. Because the ACP was DIN-standard, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions of the ACEJ against your fixture before swapping. This unit's fitted -S magnet carries over as an option on the ACEJ for CMSE / DMSE switches.
