This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the ACP series. You can still order this code here: we ship the current replacement ACEJ20X60-10B, 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 ACPJ20X60-10B 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 ACEJ20X60-10B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.
Double acting and adjustable, the ACPJ20X60-10B is a discontinued DIN-standard compact cylinder: 20 mm bore, 60 mm stroke and a 10 mm male rod thread (the B code). At 0.5 MPa it pushes 157.1 N and pulls 117.8 N; at 0.7 MPa those figures rise to 219.9 N and 164.9 N, with a theoretical peak of 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs and guarding. A stop screw trims the extend stroke anywhere in the ordered 10 mm window, giving a usable 50-60 mm range; it is a mechanical end stop only, so the piston still drifts if air is lost. Fixed TPU bumpers sit at both ends, speed runs 30-500 mm/s, and the port is M5x0.8. This model is discontinued - the current direct is the ACEJ20X60; confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACEJ20X60-10B (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).
Short-body mounting fits crowded PCB test fixtures where a full-length profile cylinder will not, and the male rod thread takes a standard knuckle.
Uses the 50-60 mm adjustable range to nudge cartons onto a conveyor lane, with the fixed TPU bumper softening each extend at up to 500 mm/s.
The 60 mm stroke is within the 100 mm max standard stroke for bore 20, so no made-to-order length is involved. Mount with FA/FB flange or LB foot hardware on the ISO 21287 face. This unit has no magnet fitted - order the -S code if you want CMSE / DMSE switch position sensing. Since ACPJ is discontinued, spec the ACEJ20X60 as the current-production equivalent.
Replacement checklist
Push is 157.1 N and pull 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa push is 219.9 N and pull 164.9 N, with a theoretical max of 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C, port M5x0.8, rod 10 mm male thread, and the extend stroke trims within the 10 mm window (50-60 mm usable).
No - the ACPJ family is discontinued. The current-production direct is the ACEJ20X60, which matches the same bore, stroke and force class. Because the ACP is DIN-standard rather than ISO 21287, confirm the mounting dimensions against the ACEJ datasheet before swapping, and add the -S code on the replacement if you need the optional magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches.
