This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACEJ16X110-30B — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACEJ16X110-30B 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 ACPJ16X110-30B
The AirTAC Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ16X110-30B 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 ACEJ16X110-30B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ16X110-30B
This AirTAC ACPJ16X110-30B is a double acting compact cylinder with an adjustable extend stroke: a stop screw trims the 110 mm stroke by up to 30 mm, giving a usable range of 80-110 mm on site. Air pushes the rod out and pulls it back, so no spring is involved. The 16 mm bore delivers 100.5 N push and 75.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa, rising to 140.7 N push at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical peak of 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 110 mm stroke exceeds the 75 mm standard maximum for bore 16, so it is a made-to-order build.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into narrow jigs and sliding doors where a full-length body cannot. As a rule of thumb, plan on roughly 60 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 6 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note this unit is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is the ACEJ16X110, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACEJ16X110-30B (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 ACEJ16X110-30B 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 ACPJ16X110-30B Is Used
Small-parts press fit
Presses dowel pins or bushings into plastic housings on an electronics assembly bench, using about 60 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa with the 30 mm window trimming the stroke to match fixture depth.
Pick-and-place lift
Raises connector trays of about 6 kg or less between a bowl feeder and a packaging cell, with the male rod thread taking a standard knuckle for the gripper arm.
Gate and stopper actuation
Swings a conveyor stopper blade through an 80-110 mm throw, adjusted on site with the stop screw so one cylinder serves several line layouts.
Replacing the Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ16X110-30B with the ACEJ16X110-30B
Size both ways: if 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa is more than your jig needs, the ACPJ12 gives 56.5 N in the same short body; if you need more, step up to the ACPJ20 for 157.1 N. The male rod thread (B code) suits knuckle and tooling plates that bolt directly to the rod, and FA flange or LB foot mounts fix the body. The adjuster is a mechanical end stop only - it shortens the extend stroke and never holds a load if air is lost. This model is discontinued; order the ACEJ16X110 as the current replacement.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACEJ16X110-30B
- ✓ 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 ACPJ16X110-30B 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; theoretical maximum is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The -30 code gives a 30 mm adjustment window, so the 110 mm extend stroke can be trimmed to any length from 80 to 110 mm. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, with a fixed TPU bumper at both ends. The 110 mm stroke is a made-to-order length because the bore 16 standard maximum is 75 mm.
Switches need the optional -S magnet, which this model does not carry, so no CMSE or DMSE sensor can be mounted on this exact unit - order an -S variant if sensing is required. The ACPJ family is discontinued; the current-production replacement is the ACEJ16X110 (P swapped for E), a drop-in in the same bore, stroke and force class. Because the ACP is DIN-standard, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions of the ACEJ before swapping it into an existing fixture.
