This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACEJ16X90-40SB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACEJ16X90-40SB 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 ACPJ16X90-40SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ16X90-40SB is a double acting, adjustable stroke DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 90mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACEJ16X90-40SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ16X90-40SB
Double acting and adjustable in stroke, the ACPJ16X90-40SB is a discontinued DIN-standard compact cylinder with a 16 mm bore and a 90 mm stroke that a stop screw trims by up to 40 mm, giving a usable extend range of 50-90 mm. 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. The 90 mm stroke exceeds the 75 mm standard maximum for this bore, so it is a made-to-order build. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE switches can be mounted directly on the hard-anodized aluminium body.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it suits tight jigs and guarding where a full-length body cannot fit. For sizing, treat about 60 N (0.6 of the push force) as the practical working output at 0.5 MPa, which lifts roughly 5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The rod end is male thread (B code) and the air port is M5x0.8. Since this model is discontinued, order the current ACEJ16X90, its drop-in successor in the same bore, stroke and force class, and confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACEJ16X90-40SB (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 ACEJ16X90-40SB 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 ACPJ16X90-40SB Is Used
Bench-top press jig
The 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa suits light staking and marking fixtures on electronics assembly benches, with the 50-90 mm trim range matching varied part heights.
Carton reject pusher
On a small packaging line, the 90 mm stroke with a 40 mm adjustment window ejects misaligned cartons, and the fitted magnet drives a CMSE switch for reject confirmation.
Lab sample indexer
A compact 16 mm body that is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder slots into tight test-rig frames, advancing sample trays at 30-500 mm/s.
Replacing the Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ16X90-40SB with the ACEJ16X90-40SB
Size between bores: a 12 mm ACPJ gives 56.5 N push at 0.5 MPa, while a 20 mm bore reaches 157.1 N, so the 16 mm at 100.5 N sits mid-range for light clamping and part ejection. The 40 mm window means you can dial the extend stroke anywhere from 50 to 90 mm on site; the stop is a mechanical end stop only, so the piston still drifts if air is lost. FA/FB flange and LB foot mountings bolt to the standard face, and the fitted -S magnet accepts CMSE / DMSE switches. Note the 90 mm stroke is non-standard for this bore (max standard 75 mm). This model is discontinued; the ACEJ16X90 is the current-production replacement, so verify ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before ordering.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACEJ16X90-40SB
- ✓ 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 ACPJ16X90-40SB FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 75.4 N; at 0.7 MPa it pushes 140.7 N and pulls 105.6 N; theoretical maximum is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The -40 code gives a 40 mm adjustment window, so the 90 mm extend stroke can be trimmed to anywhere between 50 and 90 mm with the stop screw. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the 90 mm stroke is a made-to-order length since the bore 16 standard maximum is 75 mm.
Order the ACEJ16X90, the current-production ISO 21287 successor made by swapping the P for an E. It matches the same 16 mm bore, 90 mm stroke and force class, with a matching short body and mounting family. Because the ACP was built to a DIN standard, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. This unit's fitted -S magnet and male rod thread (B code) should also be specified on the replacement.
