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

About the Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ16X110-30S
This AirTAC cylinder is double acting, with air powering both the extend and retract strokes, and it carries a 30 mm adjustment window: an external stop screw trims the 110 mm extend stroke down to as short as 80 mm on site. 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 limit for this bore, so it is a made-to-order build. Note: this model is discontinued; the current-production replacement is ACEJ16X110, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
The short ISO 21287-class body cuts roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it suits cramped jig plates and guarding frames. Because the S code is fitted, the built-in magnet works with CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches for end-of-stroke sensing. A practical sizing rule: at 0.5 MPa plan on about 60 N of real work, which lifts roughly 5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. FA/FB flanges and LB feet bolt straight to the standard face.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACEJ16X110-30S (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 ACEJ16X110-30S 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 ACPJ16X110-30S Is Used
Small-parts press fitting
The 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa seats bearings or dowels into aluminium housings on an electronics assembly bench, with the 30 mm window letting technicians fine-tune the press depth between 80 and 110 mm.
Indexing slide with position feedback
On a compact pick-and-place gantry, the fitted magnet drives CMSE or DMSE switches to confirm the trimmed extend position, keeping the 110 mm stroke inside a tight machine envelope.
Carton hold-down clamp
A packaging line uses the 60 N practical working force to hold lightweight cartons during taping, with the stop screw set so the rod plate contacts the box at a repeatable height.
Replacing the Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ16X110-30S with the ACEJ16X110-30S
Size by force first: if 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa is marginal, step up to the 20 mm bore for 157.1 N; if it is generous, the 12 mm bore gives 56.5 N at lower air use. The 30 mm window suits fixtures where the final extend position is tuned after installation, but remember the stop screw only shortens the stroke and does not lock the piston if air is lost. Pair LB feet or an FA flange with the standard mounting face, and order CMSE or DMSE switches since this unit carries the optional -S magnet. For new designs, specify the ACEJ16X110 instead, as this ACPJ version is discontinued.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACEJ16X110-30S
- ✓ 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 ACPJ16X110-30S 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 -30 code gives a 30 mm adjustment window, so the external stop screw trims the 110 mm extend stroke anywhere down to 80 mm. It runs on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) air filtered to 40 um at 30-500 mm/s, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end. The 110 mm stroke is made to order, since the bore 16 standard maximum is 75 mm.
The hard-anodized aluminium body follows the short ISO 21287-class format, saving about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with an 8 mm hard-chrome rod and M4x0.7 female thread. Because this model carries the optional -S magnet, CMSE and DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount directly on the body. FA/FB flanges and LB feet fit the standard face. Since the ACPJ is discontinued, verify ISO 21287 dimensions and order the ACEJ16X110 as the drop-in successor.
