This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACEJ16X75-30 — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACEJ16X75-30 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 ACPJ16X75-30
The AirTAC Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ16X75-30 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 ACEJ16X75-30 (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ16X75-30
The ACPJ16X75-30 is a double acting compact cylinder with an adjustable extend stroke: a stop screw on the head trims the 75 mm stroke by up to 30 mm, giving a usable range of 45-75 mm on site. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 75.4 N; at 0.7 MPa those figures rise to 140.7 N and 105.6 N, with a theoretical peak of 20.5 kgf at 1.0 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 will not fit. Note this model is discontinued; the current-production replacement is the ACEJ16X75, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
Plan on roughly 60 N of real work at 0.5 MPa (about 0.6 of the rated push) rather than the full 100.5 N, and for vertical lifts expect about 5 kg with a 2:1 margin. The 8 mm S45C hard-chrome rod ends in a female M4x0.7 thread, air ports are M5x0.8, and a fixed TPU bumper sits at both ends. This unit has no magnet fitted; order the optional -S code if you need CMSE or DMSE switch sensing. Operating window is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at 30-500 mm/s.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACEJ16X75-30 (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 ACEJ16X75-30 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 ACPJ16X75-30 Is Used
Bench-top press jig for small electronics housings
With about 60 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, the 16 mm bore seats connectors or labels in a fixture, and the 30 mm adjustment window lets operators dial the press depth between 45 and 75 mm without shimming.
Compact ejection station on an assembly gantry
The short body takes roughly half the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it ejects finished parts from a tight pocket; the female M4x0.7 rod thread accepts a standard knuckle.
Carton hold-down on a small packaging line
Running at 30-500 mm/s, the cylinder clamps flaps or trays with 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa; add the optional -S magnet with a CMSE switch to confirm the clamp is fully extended.
Replacing the Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ16X75-30 with the ACEJ16X75-30
At 16 mm bore this sits mid-range: the 12 mm bore gives 56.5 N push at 0.5 MPa for lighter clamping, while the 20 mm bore reaches 157.1 N when you need more force in the same short body. The 75 mm stroke is the maximum standard stroke for this bore, and the -30 window lets you trim the extend stroke anywhere from 45 to 75 mm. Remember the stop screw only shortens travel and does not hold a load if air is lost. FA/FB flanges and LB feet bolt straight to the face, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches. For new builds, specify the ACEJ16X75 instead - this ACPJ is discontinued.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACEJ16X75-30
- ✓ 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 ACPJ16X75-30 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. The -30 code gives a 30 mm adjustment window, so the 75 mm extend stroke can be trimmed to any length from 45 to 75 mm with the stop screw. It is double acting, runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), and the model is discontinued - the ACEJ16X75 is the current replacement.
It is a short-body compact cylinder with a hard-anodized aluminium body, threaded aluminium covers and an 8 mm hard-chrome rod, saving about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. A fixed TPU bumper decelerates the piston at each end but never locks or holds a load. Sensing is possible only if you order the optional -S magnet code, which allows CMSE / DMSE switches; this particular model has no magnet fitted.
