This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACEJ16X90-75B — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACEJ16X90-75B 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.

The AirTAC Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ16X90-75B 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 ACEJ16X90-75B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.
This is a double acting compact cylinder with an adjustable extend stroke, and it is now discontinued - the current-production replacement is the ACEJ16X90, which swaps the P for an E in the same bore, stroke and force class. The 16 mm bore delivers 100.5 N push and 75.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa, rising to 140.7 N push at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical peak of 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Its 90 mm stroke exceeds the 75 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it is a made-to-order build. The hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome rod suit tight, high-cycle fixtures.
The -75 code is a 75 mm adjustment window: an external stop screw trims the extend stroke anywhere in a 15-90 mm range, so one cylinder serves several die positions without changing hardware. Note the stop is a mechanical end stop only - on air loss the piston still drifts, so it never holds a load. In practice, plan on roughly 60 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa (about 0.6 of the rating), which lifts around 6 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and the male rod thread (B code) bolts straight to I/Y knuckles. No magnet is fitted on this version; order the -S code if you need CMSE / DMSE switch positions.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACEJ16X90-75B (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.
| 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 ACEJ16X90-75B produces the same force from the same bore. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.
| ACPJ | DIN compact cylinder (adjustable-stroke, discontinued). |
|---|---|
| 16 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×90 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -75 | Adjustable stroke window (mm the extend stroke can be shortened on site). |
| S | Optional built-in magnet for sensor position sensing (omit for no magnet). |
| B | Rod type: B = male thread; blank = female thread. |
Replacement mapping (swap P for E): ACP→ACE, ASP→ASE, ATP→ATE, ACPD→ACED, ACPJ→ACEJ. ACP-family: ACP (double acting), ASP / ATP (single acting push / pull), ACPD (double rod), ACPJ (adjustable stroke).
The 15-90 mm trim range lets one cylinder clamp short and tall aluminium brackets on the same jig - 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa is enough for light hold-down clamps.
A 90 mm stroke with a 75 mm adjustment window lets a stop screw retune the divert throw when carton sizes change, at speeds up to 500 mm/s.
The male rod thread and compact short body fit inside a benchtop test rig, and the 75.4 N pull force retracts a small platen cleanly between samples.
Size against neighbours: the 12 mm bore gives 56.5 N push at 0.5 MPa if your load is lighter, while the 20 mm bore reaches 157.1 N for heavier clamping. This 16 mm unit at 100.5 N push suits mid-range jig and gate work. The 75 mm adjustment window lets you dial the extend stroke from 15 to 90 mm on site; remember the stop screw is not a mid-stroke lock. Mounting is FA/FB flange or LB foot, and the male rod thread takes I/Y knuckles directly. Since this model is discontinued, order the ACEJ16X90 as the drop-in successor and confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, because the ACP family is DIN-standard.
Replacement checklist
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 -75 code is a 75 mm adjustment window: an external stop screw shortens the 90 mm extend stroke to anywhere in a 15-90 mm range. It is a mechanical end stop only - it does not lock or hold a load if air is lost. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and this 90 mm stroke is a made-to-order build since the bore's standard maximum is 75 mm.
No - the ACPJ family is discontinued. The current-production drop-in is the ACEJ16X90 (same bore, stroke and force class); confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, as the ACP is DIN-standard. This version has no magnet, so no switch can be mounted; the optional -S magnet code enables CMSE / DMSE switches. Mounting options are FA/FB flange and LB foot, the body is hard-anodized aluminium with a fixed TPU bumper at both ends, and the port is M5x0.8.
