This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACEJ16X60-75SB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACEJ16X60-75SB 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 ACPJ16X60-75SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ16X60-75SB 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 ACEJ16X60-75SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ16X60-75SB
The ACPJ16X60-75SB is a double acting, adjustable-stroke compact cylinder in the discontinued AirTAC ACPJ family. Its 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 hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome rod keep the short ISO 21287-class build rigid while saving roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs and guarding where a full-length body cannot.
The -75 code sets a 75 mm adjustment window: an external stop screw trims the extend stroke on site, so the usable range is 0-60 mm. Plan on about 60 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts roughly 3 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The male rod thread (B code) suits knuckle and tooling adapters, and because this unit carries the -S option the magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches mount directly. This model is discontinued; the current-production replacement is ACEJ16X60, and you should confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACEJ16X60-75SB (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 ACEJ16X60-75SB 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 ACPJ16X60-75SB Is Used
Small-parts ejection in assembly fixtures
The 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa is enough to eject stamped terminals or molded inserts from a 16 mm fixture nest, with the stop screw trimming the extend stroke to match the nest depth.
Adjustable clamping on test benches
Electronics test rigs often need the clamp point moved between board sizes; the 0-60 mm adjustable window lets a technician re-trim the stroke without swapping cylinders.
Position-verified indexing slides
With the -S magnet fitted, CMSE or DMSE switches confirm end-of-stroke on a small indexing slide, and the 30-500 mm/s speed range suits fast pick-and-place cycles.
Replacing the Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ16X60-75SB with the ACEJ16X60-75SB
Size the bore both ways: the 12 mm bore gives 56.5 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the 20 mm bore reaches 157.1 N, so pick the 16 mm when your load sits between about 60 and 100 N. The stop screw is a mechanical end stop for the extend stroke only, not a mid-stroke lock, so the piston still drifts if air is lost. FA/FB flange and LB foot mounts bolt to the standard face. Order the ACEJ16X60 as the current drop-in and verify ISO 21287 dimensions first.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACEJ16X60-75SB
- ✓ 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 ACPJ16X60-75SB 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, with a theoretical maximum of 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The -75 code is a 75 mm adjustment window: an external stop screw shortens the 60 mm extend stroke on site, giving a usable range of 0-60 mm. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and a fixed TPU bumper sits at both ends.
No - the ACPJ family is discontinued. The current-production replacement is ACEJ16X60, the ISO 21287 successor in the same bore, stroke and force class. Because the ACPJ is DIN-standard, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. This unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches can be mounted; the male rod thread and M5x0.8 port carry over in the replacement family.
