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

About the Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ16X60-30SB
Double acting and adjustable in stroke, the ACPJ16X60-30SB is a DIN-standard compact cylinder with a 16 mm bore, 60 mm stroke and a 30 mm trim window. A stop screw shortens the extend stroke anywhere within that window, giving a usable 30-60 mm range on site. This unit carries the -S magnet and the B male rod thread, and it pushes 100.5 N (pull 75.4 N) at 0.5 MPa. Its hard-anodized aluminium body runs about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs and guarding where a full-length body cannot. Note: the ACPJ family is discontinued; the current drop-in is ACEJ16X60.
Practically, plan on roughly 60 N of real work at 0.5 MPa (about 0.6 of the rated push), which lifts about 5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The fixed TPU bumper at each end only decelerates the piston; it never locks or holds a load, and on air loss the rod still drifts. Ports are M5x0.8, speed spans 30-500 mm/s, and CMSE / DMSE switches can be mounted because this model carries the optional -S magnet. Confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping to the ACEJ.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACEJ16X60-30SB (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 ACPJ16X60-30SB Is Used
Fixture clamping on CNC jigs
The 30-60 mm trimmed extend stroke clamps small aluminium or plastic workpieces in machining fixtures, with the male rod thread taking an external knuckle.
Packaging line reject pushers
About 60 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa is enough to push misfilled cartons off a light conveyor lane, and the short body fits under guarding.
Position-checked test stations
With the -S magnet fitted, CMSE or DMSE switches confirm extend and retract on a 30-60 mm verification move in electronics test fixtures.
Replacing the Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ16X60-30SB with the ACEJ16X60-30SB
At 16 mm bore this size delivers 100.5 N push / 75.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa. Step down to the 12 mm bore (56.5 N push) for lighter pick-and-place, or up to 20 mm (157.1 N push) if the load grows. The 30 mm window trims the extend stroke between 30 and 60 mm; the stop is a mechanical end stop, not a mid-stroke lock, so do not rely on it to hold a load. FA/FB flange and LB foot mountings plus I/Y rod knuckles bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the male rod thread (B) suits external knuckles. For new designs, order the ACEJ16X60 - same bore, stroke and force class - and verify mounting dimensions first.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACEJ16X60-30SB
- ✓ 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 ACPJ16X60-30SB FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 75.4 N; at 0.7 MPa that rises to 140.7 N push and 105.6 N pull, with a theoretical maximum of 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The -30 code sets a 30 mm adjustment window: a stop screw trims the 60 mm extend stroke down to as little as 30 mm. The stop is a mechanical end stop only - it does not hold a load if air is lost.
It is a DIN-standard compact body in hard-anodized aluminium with an S45C hard-chrome rod, saving about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a fixed TPU bumper at both ends and M5x0.8 ports. The ACPJ is discontinued; the current-production replacement is ACEJ16X60 in the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
