This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACEJ16X75-20 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACEJ16X75-20 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 ACPJ16X75-20
The AirTAC Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ16X75-20 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 ACEJ16X75-20 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ16X75-20
The ACPJ16X75-20 is a double acting compact cylinder with an adjustable stroke: a stop screw trims the 75 mm extend stroke by up to 20 mm on site, giving a usable 55-75 mm range. Air drives the rod in both directions, and a fixed TPU bumper decelerates the piston at each end. At 0.5 MPa the 16 mm bore delivers 100.5 N push and 75.4 N pull; at 0.7 MPa that rises to 140.7 N push. The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight fixtures and gantries.
Plan on roughly 60 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 6 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin - enough for small clamps, gates and part pushers. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries an S45C hard-chrome rod with a female M4x0.7 thread, and ports are M5x0.8. Note: this model is discontinued; the current-production replacement is the ACEJ16X75, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACEJ16X75-20 (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 ACEJ16X75-20 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 ACPJ16X75-20 Is Used
Small-parts ejection on assembly fixtures
The 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa clears stamped clips or molded caps from nests, and the 55-75 mm adjustable range lets technicians tune the eject distance without swapping cylinders.
Height-stop setting on packaging machines
The 20 mm adjustment window sets carton or tray stop heights between 55 and 75 mm, and the compact short body fits the shallow guard space around a horizontal flow wrapper.
Indexed slide on a test bench (with -S option)
Order the -S code to add the magnet, then mount CMSE or DMSE switches for end-of-stroke confirmation on a 75 mm sample-transfer slide running at 30-500 mm/s.
Replacing the Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ16X75-20 with the ACEJ16X75-20
Size by force: if 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa is marginal, step up to the 20 mm bore (157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa); if it is generous, the 12 mm bore (56.5 N) saves space. The 75 mm stroke is the maximum standard stroke for this bore, so no made-to-order length is needed. The adjuster is a mechanical end stop for the extend stroke only - it does not lock the piston mid-stroke, and on air loss the rod still drifts. For position feedback order the -S variant with the optional magnet, then add CMSE or DMSE switches. FA/FB flange and LB foot mounts bolt to the standard face. For new builds, specify the ACEJ16X75 instead.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACEJ16X75-20
- ✓ 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 ACPJ16X75-20 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 75.4 N; at 0.7 MPa, 140.7 N push and 105.6 N pull; theoretical maximum is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It is double acting with a 16 mm bore, 75 mm stroke and a 20 mm adjustment window (usable 55-75 mm). Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, port M5x0.8, rod thread female M4x0.7, with a fixed TPU bumper at both ends.
Yes, but only on the -S variant: the magnet is the optional -S code, so without it no CMSE or DMSE switch can be read. This ACPJ model is discontinued; the current-production drop-in is the ACEJ16X75 in the same bore, stroke and force class. Because the ACP is DIN-standard, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions of the ACEJ before swapping.
