This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACEJ20X175-10S, 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 ACPJ20X175-10S
The AirTAC ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ20X175-10S is a double acting, double rod, adjustable stroke DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 175mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACEJ20X175-10S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ20X175-10S
The ACPJ20X175-10S is a double acting compact cylinder with an adjustable extend stroke: a stop screw trims the 175 mm stroke by up to 10 mm on site, giving a usable 165-175 mm range. The 175 mm stroke exceeds the 100 mm maximum standard stroke for the 20 mm bore, so this unit is made to order.
Its short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into narrow pick-and-place gantries and guarded test stations. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries an S45C hard-chrome rod, fixed TPU bumpers at both ends, and the -S magnet code is fitted, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be mounted for end-of-stroke signalling. Note: this ACPJ model is discontinued; the current-production direct is the ACEJ20X175 - confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACEJ20X175-10S (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 (Ø20mm)
| Pressure | Force (both ways) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 118 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 165 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 24 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 ACPJ20X175-10S Is Used
Position-signalled slide feed in a packaging head
With the -S magnet fitted, CMSE or DMSE switches confirm extend and retract on a 165-175 mm feed move, running at 30-500 mm/s between fixed TPU bumpers.
Sample press in a compact lab test rig
About 94 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa suits light pressing of vials or coupons inside a guarded bench frame where the short body saves roughly half the length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder.
Replacing the Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ20X175-10S with the ACEJ20X175-10S
Size around the 94 N usable figure at 0.5 MPa and remember the stop screw only shortens the extend stroke within the 10 mm window - it is a mechanical end stop, not a mid-stroke lock, so the rod still drifts if air is lost. FA/FB flanges and LB feet bolt to the standard face, and the fitted -S magnet accepts CMSE / DMSE switches. For new builds, order the ACEJ20X175 instead - this ACPJ is discontinued.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACEJ20X175-10S
- ✓ 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 ACPJ20X175-10S FAQ
Push is 157.1 N and pull 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa push rises to 219.9 N and pull to 164.9 N, with a theoretical maximum of 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It is double acting, runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), temperature -20 to +70 C, speed 30-500 mm/s, port M5x0.8, female M6x1.0 rod thread, and a 10 mm extend-stroke adjustment window (165-175 mm usable).
The 20 mm bore tops out at 100 mm as a standard stroke, so 175 mm is a non-standard, made-to-order build - expect a longer lead time. Also note this ACPJ model is discontinued; the current-production replacement is the ACEJ20X175 in the same bore, stroke and force class, so confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before ordering either version.
