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

About the Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ16X110-30SB
The ACPJ16X110-30SB is a double acting compact cylinder with an adjustable extend stroke: the -30 stop screw trims the 110 mm stroke by up to 30 mm on site, giving a usable range of 80-110 mm. At 0.5 MPa the 16 mm bore delivers 100.5 N push and 75.4 N pull, rising to 140.7 N at 0.7 MPa. Its short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight fixtures and guarding where a full-length body cannot. Note the 110 mm stroke exceeds the 75 mm standard maximum for bore 16, so this is a made-to-order stroke.
This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be mounted directly for end-of-stroke signalling, and the B code gives a male rod thread on the 8 mm rod. A fixed TPU bumper at each end decelerates the piston; it is a pad, not a brake, so on air loss the piston still drifts. The ACPJ family is discontinued - the current-production replacement is the ACEJ16X110, same bore, stroke and force class, but confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping since the ACP was built to a DIN standard. As a planning figure, budget about 60 N (0.6 x the 100.5 N rating) of real work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts roughly 5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACEJ16X110-30SB (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 ACEJ16X110-30SB 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 ACPJ16X110-30SB Is Used
Width-adjustable clamping fixture
On a small CNC jig the 30 mm window lets one cylinder clamp parts from 80 to 110 mm tall; the 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa is enough for light plastic or thin aluminium brackets.
Signalled ejector on a packaging line
With the -S magnet fitted, CMSE switches confirm each 80-110 mm extend stroke before a carton is released, and the male rod thread takes a knuckle for a pusher plate.
Compact press head for electronics assembly
The short body fits inside a benchtop press frame where an ISO 15552 profile cylinder would be about twice as long, delivering 140.7 N at 0.7 MPa for connector seating.
Replacing the Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ16X110-30SB with the ACEJ16X110-30SB
Size by force: at 0.5 MPa the 16 mm bore pushes 100.5 N, while a 12 mm bore gives 56.5 N and a 20 mm bore gives 157.1 N - step up to 20 mm if your jig needs more than about 60 N of working force. The 30 mm window suits stations where one cylinder body serves several product widths between 80 and 110 mm. Match FA/FB flange or LB foot mounts and I/Y rod knuckles to the ISO 21287 face, and order CMSE/DMSE switches only because this -S model includes the magnet. For new designs, specify the ACEJ16X110 instead: this ACPJ is discontinued.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACEJ16X110-30SB
- ✓ 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 ACPJ16X110-30SB FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 75.4 N; at 0.7 MPa push is 140.7 N and pull 105.6 N; theoretical maximum is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The -30 code means the 110 mm extend stroke can be trimmed by up to 30 mm with the external stop screw, so the working range is 80-110 mm. The stop sets the end position only - it does not hold a load if air is lost. The 110 mm stroke is made to order, since standard bore 16 strokes stop at 75 mm.
It is a compact double-acting cylinder with a hard-anodized aluminium body, S45C hard-chrome 8 mm rod, male rod thread (B code), M5x0.8 ports, PT port thread, fixed TPU bumpers at both ends, 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) operating pressure and 30-500 mm/s speed. This model includes the optional -S magnet for CMSE/DMSE switches. The family is discontinued; the ACEJ16X110 is the current ISO 21287 drop-in - confirm its mounting dimensions before swapping.
