This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACEJ20X110-30B — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACEJ20X110-30B 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.

The AirTAC Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ20X110-30B is a double acting, adjustable stroke DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 110mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACEJ20X110-30B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.
The ACPJ20X110-30B is a double acting compact cylinder with an adjustable extend stroke: a stop screw trims the 110 mm stroke by up to 30 mm, giving a usable range of 80-110 mm. It is discontinued, and the current-production replacement is the ACEJ20X110, which matches the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, since the ACP is DIN-standard. At 0.5 MPa this 20 mm bore pushes 157.1 N and pulls 117.8 N; at 0.7 MPa it reaches 219.9 N push and 164.9 N pull, with a theoretical maximum of 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight gantries and guarding where a full-length body will not fit. Note the 110 mm stroke exceeds the 100 mm maximum standard stroke for bore 20, so this unit is made to order. A practical sizing rule: about 94 N (roughly 9.6 kgf) of the 157.1 N push is realistically usable at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 4.8 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The B code gives a male 10 mm rod thread; the port is M5x0.8, and no magnet is fitted because the -S code was not ordered.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACEJ20X110-30B (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.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 157 N | 118 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 220 N | 165 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 32 kgf | |
The ACEJ20X110-30B 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). |
|---|---|
| 20 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×110 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -30 | 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 157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa clears a machined housing or stamped clip off a nest, and the 30 mm window lets the technician dial the eject distance between 80 and 110 mm without re-plumbing.
About 9.6 kgf of usable press force at 0.5 MPa seats labels or gaskets on cosmetic cartons, and the compact body fits the shallow head space above a conveyor.
The male-threaded 10 mm rod drives a lightweight indexer between vial racks, with the stop screw trimmed so the probe stops short of the rack wall; speed range 30-500 mm/s covers gentle and fast cycles.
Size by force: bore 16 delivers 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa while bore 25 steps up from this 20 mm bore's 157.1 N - pick the smaller bore if your load is under about 9 kgf of working force. The 30 mm window suits machines where the final position is tuned on commissioning; remember the stop screw only shortens the extend stroke and drifts on air loss, so it is not a mid-stroke lock. FA/FB flange and LB foot mountings bolt to the ISO 21287 face. If you need position sensing, order the -S variant to enable CMSE / DMSE switches - this B-coded model has no magnet. Replacement: ACEJ20X110.
Replacement checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 157.1 N and pulls 117.8 N; at 0.7 MPa it pushes 219.9 N and pulls 164.9 N; theoretical maximum is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The -30 code is a 30 mm adjustment window: the stop screw shortens the 110 mm extend stroke by up to 30 mm, so the working range is 80-110 mm. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the 110 mm stroke is a made-to-order length since bore 20 tops out at 100 mm standard.
It is a short-body ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a hard-anodized aluminium body, S45C hard-chrome rod, M5x0.8 ports, a male rod thread (B code) and a fixed TPU bumper at each end that only decelerates at the ends. FA/FB flange and LB foot mountings bolt to the ISO 21287 face. The magnet is the optional -S code, so CMSE / DMSE switches work only on -S models. The ACPJ family is discontinued; the current drop-in is the ACEJ20X110 - confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
