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

About the Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ16X75-30B
The ACPJ16X75-30B is a double acting compact cylinder with an adjustable extend stroke: a stop screw 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, 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) suits knuckle and tooling plates that bolt directly to the rod.
Its ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight fixtures and guarding. As a rule of thumb, plan on roughly 60 N (about 6 kg) of real work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note this model is discontinued; the current drop-in is the ACEJ16X75, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACEJ16X75-30B (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 ACEJ16X75-30B 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 ACPJ16X75-30B Is Used
Bench-top press fixture
A small electronics workbench press needs 45-75 mm of travel to seat connectors; the 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa is enough, and the stop screw dials in the exact seating depth.
Packaging line part kicker
Kicking cartons off a conveyor at a check station: the 75 mm stroke (trimmable to 45 mm) and 30-500 mm/s speed range match short, fast lateral pushes.
Lab sample indexer
Advancing sample trays in an analytical instrument: the compact short body fits inside the housing, and the male rod thread takes a custom tray carrier.
Replacing the Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ16X75-30B with the ACEJ16X75-30B
Size both ways: the 12 mm bore gives 56.5 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the 20 mm bore reaches 157.1 N, so this 16 mm unit at 100.5 N sits mid-range for light clamping and indexing. The 75 mm stroke is the maximum standard stroke for this bore, and the 30 mm window lets you trim the extend stroke from 45 to 75 mm. The adjuster is a mechanical end stop only - on air loss the piston still drifts, so it is not a load-holding brake. FA/FB flanges and LB feet bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches (this code has no magnet). For new builds, order the ACEJ16X75 instead.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACEJ16X75-30B
- ✓ 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 ACPJ16X75-30B 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. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, port M5x0.8, rod 8 mm with male thread. In practice budget about 60 N (roughly 6 kg of work, about 5 kg vertical lift with margin) rather than the full rating.
The -30 code is a 30 mm window: a stop screw shortens the extend stroke anywhere between 45 and 75 mm - it cannot lengthen beyond 75 mm. Both ends carry a fixed TPU bumper that only decelerates at the ends. This ACPJ is discontinued; the current-production replacement is the ACEJ16X75 (same bore, stroke and force class). Confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP is DIN-standard.
