This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACEJ16X90-75S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACEJ16X90-75S 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 ACPJ16X90-75S 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 ACEJ16X90-75S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.
Double acting and adjustable, the ACPJ16X90-75S is a discontinued DIN-standard compact cylinder: an external stop screw trims the 90 mm extend stroke anywhere inside the 75 mm window, giving a usable range of 15-90 mm. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 75.4 N; at 0.7 MPa that rises to 140.7 N push. The S code means the magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE switches can be clamped straight onto the hard-anodized aluminium body. The 90 mm stroke is longer than the 75 mm standard maximum for a 16 mm bore, so this unit is made to order.
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 guard-mounted tooling. For sizing, treat about 60 N (0.6 of the push force) as the practical working load at 0.5 MPa, which lifts roughly 5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. A fixed TPU bumper at each end decelerates the piston; it never locks a load, and on air loss the rod still drifts. This model is discontinued - the current-production drop-in is the ACEJ16X90, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACEJ16X90-75S (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 ACEJ16X90-75S 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).
On a small CNC fixture, the stop screw is set to 40 mm so the 100.5 N push seats an aluminium bracket without over-travel, and the fitted magnet signals clamp-complete to the PLC.
A 90 mm stroke kicks underweight cartons off a narrow conveyor; trimming to 60 mm via the 75 mm window matches the lane width, and the 5 kg vertical-lift margin covers the carton weight easily.
A benchtop sample press uses the 15-90 mm adjustable range to compress vials gently - about 60 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa is enough for soft capping, with the M5x0.8 ports fed from a small regulator.
Choose this 16 mm bore when your clamp or positioner needs 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa and a stroke you can dial down on site from 90 mm to as little as 15 mm. If the full 90 mm is never needed, the bore 12 ACPJ12X90-75S (56.5 N push) costs less; if you need more force, step up to the 20 mm bore at 157.1 N push. Both FA flange and LB foot mountings bolt to the same face, and the fitted magnet pairs with CMSE / DMSE switches for end-of-stroke signals. Note the 90 mm stroke is non-standard for this bore. Order the ACEJ16X90 instead - it is the current replacement in the same bore, stroke and force class.
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: a stop screw shortens the 90 mm extend stroke on site, so the usable range is 15-90 mm. It shortens the stroke only - it is not a mid-stroke lock, and the rod still drifts if air is lost. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, ports M5x0.8, rod thread female M4x0.7.
No - the ACPJ16X90-75S is discontinued. The current-production drop-in is the ACEJ16X90 (swap the P for an E), which matches the same bore, stroke and force class in the ISO 21287 compact family. Because the ACP is DIN-standard, confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping. The replacement keeps FA flange and LB foot options, and the -S magnet code for CMSE / DMSE switches carries over.
