This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACEJ12X110-100SB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACEJ12X110-100SB in place of this model. 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 ACPJ12X110-100SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ12X110-100SB is a double acting, adjustable stroke DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø12mm bore and 110mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACEJ12X110-100SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ12X110-100SB
The ACPJ12X110-100SB is a double acting compact cylinder with an adjustable extend stroke, discontinued by AirTAC and now succeeded by the ACEJ12X110 in the same bore, stroke and force class. Its 12 mm bore delivers 56.5 N push and 42.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa (79.2 N push at 0.7 MPa), with a theoretical ceiling of 11.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The -100 code sets a 100 mm adjustment window: a stop screw trims the 110 mm stroke down on site, giving a usable range of 10-110 mm. The 110 mm stroke exceeds the 50 mm standard maximum for this bore, so it is a made-to-order build. The B code specifies a male rod thread (6 mm rod), and the S code fits the optional magnet so CMSE / DMSE switches can be mounted.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it suits tight jigs and guarded stations. A hard-anodized aluminium body carries an S45C hard-chrome rod, with a fixed TPU bumper at both ends. For sizing, treat roughly 0.6 of the push force as usable work at 0.5 MPa, about 34 N, which corresponds to lifting roughly 1.7 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C, air filtered to 40 um. Before swapping to the ACEJ12X110, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions, since the ACP was built to a DIN standard.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACEJ12X110-100SB (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 (Ø12mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 57 N | 42 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 79 N | 59 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 12 kgf | |
The ACEJ12X110-100SB produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

Where the Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ12X110-100SB Is Used
Lab sample ejector
The 34 N usable push at 0.5 MPa ejects microplate or vial racks from a magazine, and the 10-110 mm trim range lets technicians dial the ejection distance per rack format.
Fixture presence check
With the -S magnet fitted, CMSE or DMSE switches confirm a pallet is fully seated in a small assembly fixture, while the stop screw sets exact seating depth.
Connector press-fit station
The 79.2 N push at 0.7 MPa presses small connectors or labels onto PCBs in electronics assembly, where the short body fits inside a compact guarding frame.
Replacing the Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ12X110-100SB with the ACEJ12X110-100SB
At 12 mm bore this is the smallest force class in the family: 56.5 N push at 0.5 MPa. If your load needs more, step up to the 16 mm bore at 100.5 N push or the 20 mm bore at 157.1 N push, both at 0.5 MPa. Keep in mind the stop screw is a mechanical end stop for the extend stroke, not a mid-stroke lock, so the piston still drifts if air is lost. This model carries the optional -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches and a male rod thread; FA/FB flange and LB foot mountings bolt to the standard face. The ACPJ is discontinued, so order the ACEJ12X110 as the current drop-in and verify ISO 21287 mounting dimensions first.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACEJ12X110-100SB
- ✓ 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 ACPJ12X110-100SB FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 56.5 N and pulls 42.4 N; at 0.7 MPa it pushes 79.2 N and pulls 59.4 N. The theoretical maximum is 11.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the 110 mm stroke is a made-to-order length above the 50 mm standard maximum for this bore.
The -100 code provides a 100 mm window: an external stop screw shortens the 110 mm extend stroke anywhere down to 10 mm, and a fixed TPU bumper decelerates at each end. The ACPJ is discontinued; the current-production replacement is the ACEJ12X110, a drop-in in the same bore, stroke and force class. Confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, because the ACP was DIN-standard.
