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

About the Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ16X75-20SB
This ACPJ16X75-20SB is a double acting compact cylinder with an adjustable extend stroke: a stop screw trims the 75 mm stroke by up to 20 mm on site, giving a usable range of 55-75 mm. The 16 mm bore delivers 100.5 N push and 75.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa, rising to 140.7 N at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical ceiling of 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The male rod thread (B code) and fitted -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches are built into this code. Note that the ACPJ family is discontinued; the current-production drop-in is ACEJ16X75.
The hard-anodized aluminium body follows the ISO 21287 short format, so it saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder - ideal for tight jigs and guarding. As a rule of thumb, plan on roughly 60 N (about 6 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin) of real work at 0.5 MPa rather than the full rating. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), filtered to 40 um, with speed 30-500 mm/s and a fixed TPU bumper at each end. Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping to the ACEJ.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACEJ16X75-20SB (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 ACEJ16X75-20SB 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 ACPJ16X75-20SB Is Used
Fixture clamping on CNC jigs
The 55-75 mm trim window lets a machinist dial in clamp travel for aluminium brackets, with 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa holding light parts through the cycle.
Position-verified ejector on small assembly stations
With the -S magnet fitted, CMSE or DMSE switches confirm home and out positions as the 8 mm rod ejects connectors into a tray at up to 500 mm/s.
Compact press for electronics enclosures
About 6 kg of practical vertical force at 0.5 MPa seats snap-fit lids in a gantry too tight for a full-length profile cylinder.
Replacing the Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ16X75-20SB with the ACEJ16X75-20SB
Size against neighbours: the 12 mm bore gives 56.5 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to 20 mm raises it to 157.1 N - pick the 16 mm when your load sits between those. The stop screw only shortens the extend stroke; it is not a mid-stroke lock, so the rod can still drift on air loss. FA/FB flanges and LB feet bolt to the standard face, and the fitted -S magnet accepts CMSE / DMSE switches. For new builds, order ACEJ16X75 instead - this ACPJ model is discontinued.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACEJ16X75-20SB
- ✓ 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 ACPJ16X75-20SB FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 75.4 N; at 0.7 MPa those rise to 140.7 N and 105.6 N, with a theoretical maximum of 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The bore is 16 mm with an 8 mm male-thread rod, M5x0.8 ports, operating pressure 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 at both ends. The stop screw trims the 75 mm stroke within a 20 mm window (55-75 mm usable).
Order ACEJ16X75: swap the P for an E and you get the current-production ISO 21287 compact cylinder in the same bore, stroke and force class, with the same FA/FB flange and LB foot mounting family. Because the ACP is DIN-standard, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture before swapping. The -S magnet code carries over if you need CMSE / DMSE switch sensing.
