This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACEJ16X35-10S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACEJ16X35-10S 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 ACPJ16X35-10S
The AirTAC Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ16X35-10S is a double acting, adjustable stroke DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 35mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACEJ16X35-10S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ16X35-10S
Double acting compact cylinder with an adjustable extend stroke, the ACPJ16X35-10S carries a 16 mm bore and 35 mm stroke trimmed by a 10 mm stop-screw window, so the rod can be set anywhere from 25 to 35 mm on site. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 75.4 N; at 0.7 MPa those figures rise to 140.7 N and 105.6 N. Its hard-anodized aluminium body is an ISO 21287 short build that saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, letting it slot into cramped jigs and guarding.
Because this unit carries the -S code, the magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clamped straight onto the body for end-of-stroke signalling. In practice the 100.5 N push supports about 60 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which corresponds to lifting roughly 5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note that the ACPJ family is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is the ACEJ16X35, and buyers should confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP was built to a DIN standard.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACEJ16X35-10S (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 ACEJ16X35-10S 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 ACPJ16X35-10S Is Used
Small-parts ejector on assembly fixtures
The 25-35 mm trimmed stroke nudges machined bushings off a nest into a chute, with the 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa enough for aluminium parts up to about 60 N of resisted work.
Position-flagged press check in electronics assembly
With the -S magnet fitted, a DMSE switch confirms full extension of the 35 mm stroke before a PCB tray indexer advances, all inside a body about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder.
Carton flap tucker on a packaging line
Running at 30-500 mm/s, the cylinder folds top flaps on cosmetic cartons, and the 10 mm adjust window lets line staff fine-tune the fold depth without changing the cylinder.
Replacing the Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ16X35-10S with the ACEJ16X35-10S
For a 35 mm stroke with on-site trimming, this 16 mm bore delivers 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa; step down to a 12 mm bore for about 56.5 N on light clamping, or up to 20 mm for 157.1 N where heavier fixtures demand it. The female M4x0.7 rod thread accepts I/Y knuckles, and FA flange or LB foot mounts bolt to the ISO 21287 face. Keep in mind the stop screw only shortens the extend stroke and does not lock the piston if air is lost. Since ACPJ is discontinued, order the ACEJ16X35 as the current equivalent and verify mounting dimensions against the ISO 21287 datasheet.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACEJ16X35-10S
- ✓ 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 ACPJ16X35-10S 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 16 mm bore has an M5x0.8 port, an 8 mm rod with female M4x0.7 thread, a 10 mm extend-stroke adjustment window on the 35 mm stroke, operating pressure 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and fixed TPU bumpers at both ends.
No, the ACPJ family is discontinued. The current-production replacement is the ACEJ16X35, an ISO 21287 compact cylinder in the same bore, stroke and force class - just swap the P for an E in the code. Before swapping, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture, because the original ACP was built to a DIN standard. The ACEJ keeps the same FA/LB mounting family and accepts CMSE / DMSE switches when the optional -S magnet is ordered.
