This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACEJ16X110-40SB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACEJ16X110-40SB 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 ACPJ16X110-40SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ16X110-40SB 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 ACEJ16X110-40SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ16X110-40SB
The ACPJ16X110-40SB is a double acting compact cylinder with an adjustable extend stroke: a stop screw trims the 110 mm stroke by up to 40 mm, giving a usable range of 70-110 mm on site. The 16 mm bore delivers 100.5 N push and 75.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa (140.7 N / 105.6 N at 0.7 MPa, 20.5 kgf theoretical max at 1.0 MPa). The 110 mm stroke exceeds the 75 mm standard maximum for bore 16, so this unit is made to order. This model is discontinued; the current-production replacement is the ACEJ16X110, a drop-in successor in the same bore, stroke and force class.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight fixtures where a full-length body cannot. Because it is double acting, air drives the rod in both directions, and a fixed TPU bumper decelerates the piston at each end. In practice the 100.5 N push supports about 60 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, and with a 2:1 margin it lifts roughly 5 kg vertically - enough for small clamping plates or light part transfer. The -S code on this model means the magnet is fitted, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be mounted for end-of-stroke sensing.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACEJ16X110-40SB (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 ACEJ16X110-40SB 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 ACPJ16X110-40SB Is Used
Small-parts clamping fixture
A 70-110 mm adjustable stroke with 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa clamps brackets or housings on an assembly jig, trimmed exactly by the 40 mm stop screw.
Position-verified ejector
With the fitted -S magnet, CMSE or DMSE switches confirm extend and retract on a PCB tray ejector running at 30-500 mm/s.
Light vertical lift station
The 16 mm bore lifts about 5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin - suitable for raising small chutes or gates on a packaging line.
Replacing the Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ16X110-40SB with the ACEJ16X110-40SB
Size the bore against your load: at 0.5 MPa the 16 mm bore pushes 100.5 N, while the smaller 12 mm bore manages 56.5 N and the larger 20 mm bore reaches 157.1 N. If your fixture needs more than about 60 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa, stay with 16 mm or step up to 20 mm. The male rod thread (B code) suits I/Y rod knuckles and external tooling; FA/FB flange and LB foot mounts bolt to the standard face. The stop screw shortens the extend stroke only - it is a mechanical end stop, not a mid-stroke lock, so the piston still drifts if air is lost. Before ordering, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions of the ACEJ16X110 replacement against your ACP footprint.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACEJ16X110-40SB
- ✓ 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 ACPJ16X110-40SB 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 -40 code gives a 40 mm adjustment window, so the 110 mm extend stroke can be trimmed anywhere in a 70-110 mm range. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, port M5x0.8, rod 8 mm with male thread. The 110 mm stroke is a made-to-order length above the 75 mm standard maximum for bore 16.
Order the ACEJ16X110, the current-production ISO 21287 replacement made by swapping the P for an E. It matches the same 16 mm bore, 110 mm stroke and force class, and its short body still saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. Because the ACP is DIN-standard, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before swapping. The male rod thread, FA/FB and LB mounting options and the optional -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches carry over in the ACEJ family.
