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

About the Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ16X60-75
The ACPJ16X60-75 is a double acting compact cylinder with an adjustable extend stroke: a stop screw trims the 60 mm stroke on site within the ordered 75 mm window, so the usable range is 0-60 mm. Air works on both faces of the piston, and at 0.5 MPa it delivers 100.5 N of push force and 75.4 N of pull. The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which makes it easy to fit into shallow jigs, guarding frames and slide assemblies.
Built around a hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod and a fixed TPU bumper at each end, it runs on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) filtered air at 30-500 mm/s. In practice, plan on roughly 60 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa (about 0.6 of the rating), which is around 6 kgf - so for vertical lifting with a 2:1 margin it handles parts up to about 3 kg. Note that this model is discontinued: the current-production replacement is the ACEJ16X60, and you should confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACEJ16X60-75 (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 ACEJ16X60-75 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 ACPJ16X60-75 Is Used
Small parts ejection in assembly fixtures
The 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa is enough to strip light aluminium or plastic parts off a locating mandrel, and the adjustable stroke lets a technician dial the ejector travel to the part depth without changing cylinders.
Indexing stop on a rotary dial table
Used as a retractable stop pin on a 16-station indexing table, the 0-60 mm adjustable range sets the exact stop height, while the compact body fits inside the dial base plate.
Carton flap hold-down on a sealing head
Mounted above a carton sealer, the cylinder presses flaps flat with about 60 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa before the tape head passes, and the 60 mm stroke clears the box height.
Replacing the Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ16X60-75 with the ACEJ16X60-75
Size the bore by load: if your fixture needs more than about 100 N of push at 0.5 MPa, step up to the 20 mm bore (157.1 N push / 117.8 N pull); if the load is light and space is very tight, the 12 mm bore gives 56.5 N push / 42.4 N pull. The stop screw only shortens the extend stroke - it is a mechanical end stop, not a mid-stroke lock, so the piston still drifts if air is lost. This unit has a female M4x0.7 rod thread and PT ports; FA/FB flange and LB foot mountings bolt to the standard face. No magnet is fitted, so position switches cannot be used - order the -S code for the optional magnet if you need CMSE / DMSE sensors. For new projects, specify the ACEJ16X60 instead.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACEJ16X60-75
- ✓ 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 ACPJ16X60-75 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes with 100.5 N and pulls with 75.4 N; at 0.7 MPa that rises to 140.7 N push and 105.6 N pull, with a theoretical maximum of 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The -75 code is the 75 mm adjustment window: a stop screw shortens the 60 mm extend stroke on site, giving a usable range of 0-60 mm. It is double acting, runs on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) air at 30-500 mm/s, and the stop is an end stop only - it does not hold a load if air pressure is lost.
No - the ACPJ family is discontinued. The current-production drop-in is the ACEJ16X60 (swap the P for an E), which matches the same bore, stroke and force class; confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping since the ACP is DIN-standard. As supplied, this unit has no magnet, so no sensor can be mounted; the optional -S magnet code enables CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches. Mounting options are FA/FB flange and LB foot, and the fixed TPU bumpers decelerate the piston at both ends.
