This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACEJ12X200-75SB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACEJ12X200-75SB 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 ACPJ12X200-75SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ12X200-75SB is a double acting, adjustable stroke DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø12mm bore and 200mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACEJ12X200-75SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ12X200-75SB
This AirTAC ACPJ12X200-75SB is a double acting compact cylinder with an adjustable extend stroke: the -75 code gives a 75 mm trim window, so the stop screw sets the effective stroke anywhere from 125 to 200 mm on site. The 12 mm bore delivers 56.5 N push and 42.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa, rising to 79.2 N push at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical ceiling of 11.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Its 200 mm stroke exceeds the 50 mm standard maximum for bore 12, so this is a made-to-order build. Note: the ACPJ family is discontinued; the current-production drop-in is ACEJ12X200, and buyers should confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping because the ACP follows a DIN-standard footprint.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which matters in slim gantries, guarding frames and slide assemblies. A hard-anodized aluminium body carries an S45C hard-chrome rod, fixed TPU bumpers sit at both ends, and the fitted -S magnet accepts CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches for end-of-stroke sensing. As a rule of thumb, plan on about 34 N (roughly 3 kg vertical lift) of real work at 0.5 MPa rather than the full 56.5 N rating, halving again for a 2:1 margin on lifting duty. Operating window: 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-500 mm/s, air filtered to 40 um.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACEJ12X200-75SB (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 ACEJ12X200-75SB 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 ACPJ12X200-75SB Is Used
Small-part ejection from plastic molds
The 56.5 N push at 0.5 MPa is enough to kick lightweight molded caps or clips off a nest, and the 125-200 mm adjustable range lets the molder tune reach without re-plumbing.
Position-verified test fixtures
With the fitted -S magnet driving CMSE or DMSE switches, an electronics lab can confirm full extension of a probe or contactor arm before a test cycle starts.
Light parts lowering in packaging chutes
About 3 kg of practical vertical capacity at 0.5 MPa suits lowering small blister packs or sachets between conveyor levels in a compact cartoning cell.
Replacing the Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ12X200-75SB with the ACEJ12X200-75SB
Size both ways before committing: if 56.5 N push at 0.5 MPa is marginal, step up to the 16 mm bore for 100.5 N; if the load is under about 30 N, the same 12 mm bore in a shorter standard stroke may cost less. The male rod thread (B code) suits I/Y knuckles and external tooling, while FA/FB flange and LB foot mounts bolt to the standard face. This unit carries the -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches can be added for position feedback. Remember the stop screw trims the extend stroke only - it is a mechanical end stop, not a mid-stroke lock, and the piston will drift if air is lost. Order ACEJ12X200 as the current replacement and verify ISO 21287 mounting dimensions.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACEJ12X200-75SB
- ✓ 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 ACPJ12X200-75SB FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 56.5 N and pulls 42.4 N; at 0.7 MPa those rise to 79.2 N and 59.4 N, with a theoretical maximum of 11.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 12 mm bore uses an M5x0.8 port and a 6 mm male-thread rod. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C, with fixed TPU bumpers at both ends. The 200 mm stroke is a made-to-order length above the 50 mm standard maximum for this bore.
The -75 code is a 75 mm window: an external stop screw shortens the extend stroke anywhere between 125 and 200 mm, set on site without disassembly. It trims the stroke only - it will not hold a load if air pressure is lost. The ACPJ family is discontinued; the current-production replacement is ACEJ12X200 (same bore, stroke and force class in the ISO 21287 ACE line). Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before swapping, since the ACP was built to a DIN-standard footprint.
