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

About the Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ16X75-30S
Double acting and adjustable, the ACPJ16X75-30S is a discontinued DIN-standard compact cylinder with a 16 mm bore, 75 mm stroke and a 30 mm trim window: a stop screw shortens the extend stroke on site, so the usable range is 45-75 mm. 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 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 fixtures and guarding.
Plan on roughly 60 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa rather than the full 100.5 N rating, which is about 6 kg of horizontal work force; vertically the rod lifts about 10 kg, so halve that to 5 kg for a 2:1 margin when matching a real part weight. The -S code on this model means the magnet is fitted, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be mounted for end-of-stroke sensing. This model is discontinued: the current-production drop-in is ACEJ16X75 in the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since ACP follows the DIN standard.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACEJ16X75-30S (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 ACEJ16X75-30S 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 ACPJ16X75-30S Is Used
Fixture clamping on CNC jigs
The 45-75 mm adjustable range lets one cylinder clamp both short and tall workpieces on a machining fixture, with about 60 N of practical push at 0.5 MPa for light clamping.
Position-checked ejection
With the fitted magnet and a CMSE switch, a PCB or small-part ejector can confirm full retract before the next cycle starts, running at 30-500 mm/s.
Compact press for connector assembly
At 0.7 MPa the 140.7 N push seats small terminals or press-fits nylon standoffs inside a guard where a full-length ISO 15552 cylinder would not fit.
Replacing the Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ16X75-30S with the ACEJ16X75-30S
Size by force first: at 0.5 MPa this 16 mm bore gives 100.5 N push, while the 12 mm bore offers 56.5 N and the 20 mm bore 157.1 N - step up to 20 mm if your jig needs more than about 60 N of working force. The 30 mm window trims the extend stroke anywhere between 45 and 75 mm; remember the stop is a mechanical end stop, not a mid-stroke lock, so the piston still drifts if air is lost. FA/FB flange and LB foot mountings plus the optional -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches let you match existing fixtures. Order ACEJ16X75 as the current replacement and verify ISO 21287 mounting dimensions.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACEJ16X75-30S
- ✓ 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 ACPJ16X75-30S 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 sets a 30 mm adjustment window: a stop screw shortens the 75 mm extend stroke to any length down to 45 mm. The stop is a mechanical end stop only - it never holds a load if air pressure is lost. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at 30-500 mm/s.
No - the ACPJ family is discontinued. The current-production drop-in is ACEJ16X75, which swaps the P for an E and matches the same 16 mm bore, 75 mm stroke and force class with an ISO 21287 short body. Because ACP follows the DIN standard, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches can be mounted, and it has a fixed TPU bumper at both ends.
