This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACEJ16X60-10S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACEJ16X60-10S 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 ACPJ16X60-10S
The AirTAC Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ16X60-10S is a double acting, adjustable stroke DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 60mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACEJ16X60-10S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ16X60-10S
Double acting and adjustable, the ACPJ16X60-10S is a discontinued DIN-standard compact cylinder with a 16 mm bore and 60 mm stroke. The -10 code gives a 10 mm trim window: a stop screw shortens the extend stroke on site, so the usable range is 50-60 mm. Push force is 100.5 N and pull 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa it reaches 140.7 N push. The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it fits tight jigs and guarding where a full-length body cannot. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and speed 30-500 mm/s.
The S code means the optional magnet is fitted, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be mounted for end-of-stroke sensing. A fixed TPU bumper sits at both ends and the rod carries a female M4x0.7 thread. For planning, treat roughly 60 N as the realistic working push at 0.5 MPa, and note the 100.5 N push equals about 10 kgf, so with a 2:1 margin it lifts about 5 kg vertically. This model is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is the ACEJ16X60, and buyers should confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACEJ16X60-10S (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 ACEJ16X60-10S 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 ACPJ16X60-10S Is Used
Fixture clamping on CNC jigs
The 50-60 mm trimmed stroke and 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa suit clamping small aluminium brackets in milling fixtures where mounting space is short.
Position-verified ejector on packaging lines
With the fitted -S magnet, CMSE or DMSE switches confirm extend and retract on a 60 mm eject stroke moving cartons under about 5 kg equivalent load.
Press-fit of connector pins
140.7 N push at 0.7 MPa is enough for light pin or bushing press operations in electronics assembly, with the stop screw setting a repeatable 50 mm minimum stroke.
Replacing the Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ16X60-10S with the ACEJ16X60-10S
At 16 mm bore this sits between the 12 mm size (56.5 N push at 0.5 MPa) and the 20 mm size (157.1 N push), so choose it when 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa covers the job with margin. The 10 mm adjuster trims the extend stroke only; it is a mechanical end stop, not a mid-stroke lock, so the piston still drifts if air is lost. FA/FB flange and LB foot mountings plus I/Y rod knuckles bolt to the standard face, and the fitted -S magnet accepts CMSE / DMSE switches. Order the ACEJ16X60 instead: it is the current ISO 21287 successor in the same bore, stroke and force class.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACEJ16X60-10S
- ✓ 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 ACPJ16X60-10S 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. In practice plan on about 60 N of usable push, which with a 2:1 margin means lifting roughly 5 kg vertically. Stroke is 60 mm with a 10 mm adjustment window (50-60 mm usable), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the port is M5x0.8.
No, it is discontinued. The current-production drop-in is the ACEJ16X60, which swaps the P for an E and matches the same 16 mm bore, 60 mm stroke and force class. Because the ACPJ is DIN-standard while the ACE follows ISO 21287, confirm the mounting dimensions before swapping. The replacement keeps the short body that saves about 50% of the length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with FA/FB flange and LB foot options.
