This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACEJ16X75-10SB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACEJ16X75-10SB 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 ACPJ16X75-10SB 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 ACEJ16X75-10SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.
The ACPJ16X75-10SB is a double acting compact cylinder with an adjustable extend stroke: a stop screw trims the 75 mm stroke by up to 10 mm on site, giving a usable range of 65-75 mm. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 75.4 N, rising to 140.7 N at 0.7 MPa. The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 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. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be fitted for end-of-stroke sensing.
Practical sizing: treat roughly 60 N (0.6 x the 100.5 N push) as the usable working force at 0.5 MPa, and expect about 10 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. The fixed TPU bumper at each end only decelerates the piston; the adjuster is a mechanical end stop, not a mid-stroke lock, so the rod still drifts if air is lost. Note that the ACPJ family is discontinued - the current-production drop-in is the ACEJ16X75 (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 ACEJ16X75-10SB (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 ACEJ16X75-10SB 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 adjustable range trims the eject stroke to match shallow cavities, with about 60 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa clearing parts from 16 mm-bore-class tools.
The stop screw lets technicians dial the extend stroke between 65 and 75 mm to seat cartons against a fixed gate, and the fitted -S magnet drives a CMSE switch for cycle confirmation.
About 10 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin suits pressing caps or sensors onto vials and PCBs, and the short body fits inside compact instrument frames.
At 16 mm bore this unit delivers 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa - choose the 12 mm bore (56.5 N) for lighter clamping or step up to the 20 mm bore (157.1 N) if the load needs more margin. The male rod thread (B code) suits knuckle and tooling attachments, while FA/FB flange and LB foot mountings bolt to the standard ISO 21287 face. If you need position feedback, this -S version already carries the magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches. For new builds, order the ACEJ16X75 instead: the ACPJ is discontinued and the ACE is the current equivalent.
Replacement checklist
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. The -10 code is a 10 mm adjustment window: a stop screw shortens the 75 mm extend stroke, so the working range is 65-75 mm. It runs double acting on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at 30-500 mm/s with an M5x0.8 port.
No - the ACPJ family is discontinued. The current-production replacement is the ACEJ16X75, an ISO 21287 compact cylinder in the same bore, stroke and force class. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, because the ACP is DIN-standard. This -S version carries the optional magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches; the fixed TPU bumpers at both ends decelerate the piston only.
