This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACEJ12X110-20SB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACEJ12X110-20SB 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 ACPJ12X110-20SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ12X110-20SB 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 ACEJ12X110-20SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ12X110-20SB
This 12 mm bore unit is double acting, with air driving the rod in both directions, and its -20 code adds a 20 mm adjustment window: an external stop screw trims the 110 mm extend stroke down to 90 mm on site. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 56.5 N and pulls 42.4 N, rising to 79.2 N and 59.4 N at 0.7 MPa. The 110 mm stroke exceeds the 50 mm standard maximum for this bore, so it is a made-to-order build. A male rod thread (B code) and the -S magnet, which accepts CMSE / DMSE switches, are fitted.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into slim fixtures and guarding. For sizing, treat roughly 34 N (about 0.6 of the push force) as the practical working effort at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 2.9 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note this model is discontinued; the current-production replacement is ACEJ12X110, and buyers should confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACEJ12X110-20SB (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 ACEJ12X110-20SB 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 ACPJ12X110-20SB Is Used
Small-part ejection from plastic molds
The 90-110 mm adjustable extend stroke nudges finished caps or clips off a mold face, with 56.5 N of push at 0.5 MPa enough for lightweight parts.
Position-verified test fixtures
The fitted -S magnet works with CMSE or DMSE switches to confirm rod position in electronics test rigs, while the stop screw sets the exact approach point.
Label press on packaging lines
About 34 N of practical working force at 0.5 MPa presses labels or date stamps onto cartons, and the short body fits the tight headspace above the conveyor.
Replacing the Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ12X110-20SB with the ACEJ12X110-20SB
At 56.5 N push at 0.5 MPa this bore 12 suits light clamping and positioning; step up to bore 16 (100.5 N) or bore 20 (157.1 N) for heavier work. The stop screw is a mechanical end stop only - on air loss the piston drifts, so do not rely on it to hold a load. FA/FB flange and LB foot mountings bolt to the standard face, and the fitted -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switch sensing. This model is discontinued; order ACEJ12X110 as the drop-in and verify mounting dimensions.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACEJ12X110-20SB
- ✓ 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 ACPJ12X110-20SB FAQ
Push is 56.5 N and pull 42.4 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa push is 79.2 N and pull 59.4 N; theoretical maximum is 11.5 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 6 mm with male thread. The 110 mm stroke is a made-to-order length above the 50 mm standard maximum for this bore.
A stop screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 20 mm, giving a usable range of 90-110 mm; it cannot lengthen the stroke past the ordered 110 mm. Fixed TPU bumpers decelerate at both ends. This ACPJ is discontinued - the current-production drop-in is ACEJ12X110 in the same bore, stroke and force class. Confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP series is DIN-standard.
