This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACEJ16X110-100 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACEJ16X110-100 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 ACPJ16X110-100
The AirTAC Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ16X110-100 is a double acting, adjustable stroke DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø16mm 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 ACEJ16X110-100 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ16X110-100
The ACPJ16X110-100 is a double acting compact cylinder with an adjustable extend stroke: an external stop screw trims the 110 mm stroke by up to 100 mm, giving a usable range of 10-110 mm on site. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 75.4 N, rising to 140.7 N at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. A fixed TPU bumper sits at both ends, and the 8 mm S45C hard-chrome rod carries a female M4x0.7 thread.
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 where a full-length body cannot. Plan on roughly 60 N (about 6 kg) of real work at 0.5 MPa rather than the full rating, which equals lifting about 5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note that the 110 mm stroke exceeds the 75 mm standard maximum for bore 16, so this is a made-to-order build. This model is discontinued; the current-production replacement is the ACEJ16X110, and buyers should confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACEJ16X110-100 (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 (Ø16mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 101 N | 75 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 141 N | 106 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 21 kgf | |
The ACEJ16X110-100 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 ACPJ16X110-100 Is Used
Fixture clamp with trimmed stroke
The 100 mm window lets one cylinder serve several jig depths: set the stop screw anywhere from 10 to 110 mm to match part heights on a small machining fixture, using about 60 N of usable clamp force at 0.5 MPa.
Compact ejection on assembly stations
With a body roughly half the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, the 110 mm stroke pushes small components off a nest or chute where a full-length body would not fit.
Positioned feed with switch feedback
Order the -S magnet version to add CMSE or DMSE switches for end-of-stroke confirmation on a pick-and-place slide; this non-S build carries no magnet, so no sensor can be mounted.
Replacing the Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ16X110-100 with the ACEJ16X110-100
Size between bores: an ACPJ12 gives 56.5 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to an ACPJ20 reaches 157.1 N, so the 16 mm bore at 100.5 N sits mid-range for light clamping and positioning. If you need the rod held under load, remember the stop screw only limits the extend stroke - it is not a mid-stroke lock, and the piston drifts if air is lost. Mount with FA/FB flanges or LB feet on the standard face; order the -S code if you want the optional magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches, since this version has no magnet. For new projects, specify the ACEJ16X110 instead - it is the current drop-in successor in the same bore, stroke and force class.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACEJ16X110-100
- ✓ 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 ACPJ16X110-100 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 75.4 N; at 0.7 MPa it pushes 140.7 N and pulls 105.6 N; the theoretical maximum is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The -100 code is a 100 mm adjustment window: an external stop screw shortens the 110 mm extend stroke to any length from 10 to 110 mm. It is a mechanical end stop only - on air loss the piston still drifts, so it never holds a load. The 110 mm stroke is a made-to-order size above the 75 mm standard maximum for bore 16.
No - the ACPJ family is discontinued. The current-production replacement is the ACEJ16X110, made by swapping the P for an E; it matches the same 16 mm bore, 110 mm stroke and force class in a short ISO 21287 body with FA/FB flange and LB foot options. Because the ACP is DIN-standard, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. Also note the magnet is optional: only the -S code accepts CMSE / DMSE switches.
