This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACEJ16X75-10S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACEJ16X75-10S 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.

The AirTAC Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ16X75-10S is a double acting, adjustable stroke DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 75mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACEJ16X75-10S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.
The ACPJ16X75-10S is a discontinued double acting compact cylinder with an adjustable stroke: a stop screw trims the 75 mm extend stroke by up to 10 mm on site, giving a usable 65-75 mm range. Push force is 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa (140.7 N at 0.7 MPa), and the 16 mm bore takes an M5x0.8 port with an M4x0.7 female rod thread. The hard-anodized aluminium body keeps the mounting length about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs and guarding where a full-length body will not fit.
For sizing, plan on roughly 60 N of real work at 0.5 MPa rather than the full 100.5 N rating - about 3 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. The -S code on this model carries the magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be mounted for end-of-stroke sensing. Production has ended: the current drop-in is the ACEJ16X75 (ISO 21287), same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP is DIN-standard.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACEJ16X75-10S (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.
| 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 ACEJ16X75-10S produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.
| ACPJ | DIN compact cylinder (adjustable-stroke, discontinued). |
|---|---|
| 16 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×75 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -10 | Adjustable stroke window (mm the extend stroke can be shortened on site). |
| S | Optional built-in magnet for sensor position sensing (omit for no magnet). |
| B | Rod type: B = male thread; blank = female thread. |
Replacement mapping (swap P for E): ACP→ACE, ASP→ASE, ATP→ATE, ACPD→ACED, ACPJ→ACEJ. ACP-family: ACP (double acting), ASP / ATP (single acting push / pull), ACPD (double rod), ACPJ (adjustable stroke).
The 65-75 mm trimmed stroke and 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa knock finished bushings or pins off a fixture into a chute, with CMSE switches confirming each cycle via the fitted magnet.
About 60 N of usable holding force at 0.5 MPa secures plastic enclosures during screwdriving, and the short body fits inside a compact jig frame.
With the -S magnet in place, DMSE solid-state switches report extend and retract positions of a 75 mm probe stroke on a QC checking station.
At 100.5 N push / 75.4 N pull (0.5 MPa) this 16 mm bore suits light clamping and positioning; step down to the 12 mm bore (56.5 N push) for tighter spaces or up to the 20 mm bore (157.1 N push) when more force is needed. The 10 mm adjuster is a mechanical end stop for the extend stroke only - it does not lock the piston, so the rod still drifts if air is lost. Mounting uses the FA/FB flange and LB foot family, and this unit already includes the optional -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches. For new projects, order the current ACEJ16X75 instead.
Replacement checklist
Push is 100.5 N and pull 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa push rises to 140.7 N and pull to 105.6 N, with a theoretical maximum of 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The -10 code gives a 10 mm adjustment window, so the stop screw trims the 75 mm extend stroke anywhere in a 65-75 mm range. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and speed 30-500 mm/s.
No - the ACPJ16X75-10S is discontinued. The current-production replacement is the ACEJ16X75, an ISO 21287 compact cylinder in the same bore, stroke and force class. Before swapping, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions, because the ACP series was built to a DIN-standard footprint. The ACEJ keeps the fixed TPU bumpers at both ends, the M5x0.8 port and the FA/LB mounting options.
