This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACEJ20X60-10, 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.

The AirTAC ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ20X60-10 is a double acting, double rod, adjustable stroke DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø20mm 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 ACEJ20X60-10 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.
A stop screw trims the extend stroke by up to 10 mm on site, giving a usable 50-60 mm range without changing hardware. The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight fixtures and guarding where a full-length body will not fit.
The hard-anodized aluminium body carries aluminium covers with an S45C hard-chrome rod, and fixed TPU bumpers at both ends decelerate the piston. Note that this model is discontinued: the current-production replacement is the ACEJ20X60, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACEJ20X60-10 (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.
| 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).
| ACPJ | DIN compact cylinder (adjustable-stroke, discontinued). |
|---|---|
| 20 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×60 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -10 | Adjustable stroke window (mm the extend stroke can be shortened on site). |
| S | Optional built-in magnet for sensor position sensing (omit for no magnet). |
| B | Rod type: B = male thread; blank = female thread. |
Replacement mapping (swap P for E): ACP→ACE, ASP→ASE, ATP→ATE, ACPD→ACED, ACPJ→ACEJ. ACP-family: ACP (double acting), ASP / ATP (single acting push / pull), ACPD (double rod), ACPJ (double rod, adjustable stroke).
In a 60 mm stroke gantry probe station the short body saves about 50% of the length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder; add the -S magnet code if CMSE / DMSE switches are needed later.
The 10 mm window shortens the extend stroke only, it is not a mid-stroke lock, so the piston still drifts on air loss. Mounting uses FA/FB flanges or LB feet on the ISO 21287 face, and if you need end-position sensing order the -S version with the optional magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches; this non-S unit has no magnet. For new designs specify the ACEJ20X60, the current direct successor.
Replacement checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 157.1 N and pulls 117.8 N; at 0.7 MPa it pushes 219.9 N and pulls 164.9 N; theoretical maximum is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The -10 code is a 10 mm adjustment window: an external stop screw shortens the 60 mm extend stroke to any value from 50 to 60 mm. It is a mechanical end stop only, not a load-holding brake, and the piston still drifts if air is lost. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and speed is 30-500 mm/s.
No, the ACPJ family is discontinued. The current-production replacement is the ACEJ20X60, which swaps the P for an E and matches the same 20 mm bore, 60 mm stroke and force class in the ISO 21287 short-body format. Because the ACP was built to a DIN-standard compact layout, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions and FA/FB or LB hole pattern against your fixture before swapping. This non-S unit has no magnet; order the -S code if you want CMSE / DMSE switch capability.
