This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACEJ20X110-40S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACEJ20X110-40S 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 ACPJ20X110-40S
The AirTAC Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ20X110-40S 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 ACEJ20X110-40S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ20X110-40S
This is a double acting, adjustable-stroke compact cylinder in the discontinued AirTAC ACPJ series. The 20 mm bore delivers 157.1 N push and 117.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, rising to 219.9 N at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical peak of 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The -40 code gives a 40 mm adjustment window: a stop screw trims the extend stroke on site, so the usable range is 70-110 mm. Note the 110 mm stroke exceeds the 100 mm standard maximum for bore 20, so it is a made-to-order stroke.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into tight jigs and guarding where a full-length body cannot. Because roughly 60% of the push force is a realistic working figure, plan for about 94 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa - about 9 kg lifted vertically with a 2:1 margin. The -S magnet is fitted on this model, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be mounted directly. This model is discontinued; the current-production drop-in is ACEJ20X110, and buyers should confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACEJ20X110-40S (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 (Ø20mm)
| 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 ACEJ20X110-40S 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 ACPJ20X110-40S Is Used
Fixture clamp with tuned stop
The 70-110 mm adjustable range lets a machinist set the exact clamp position on aluminium jigs, with 157.1 N push holding light alloy parts during drilling.
Sample ejector on lab automation
Compact body and M5x0.8 ports fit inside benchtop analysers; the fitted magnet plus a DMSE switch confirms ejection of sample trays at the trimmed stop.
Carton push-off on small packers
At 30-500 mm/s the rod kicks lightweight cartons off a conveyor lane; the 94 N working force at 0.5 MPa is enough for a 9 kg equivalent load with margin.
Replacing the Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ20X110-40S with the ACEJ20X110-40S
Size by force: at 0.5 MPa bore 20 gives 157.1 N push, while bore 16 gives 100.5 N and the next step up in the family would add headroom for heavier clamping. If your part weight sits near 9 kg, this bore with a 2:1 margin is the right class. The 40 mm window suits fixtures where the final stop position is tuned after installation - remember the stop screw only shortens the extend stroke and is not a mid-stroke lock, so the rod still drifts on air loss. FA/FB flange and LB foot mountings bolt to the standard face, and the fitted -S magnet accepts CMSE / DMSE switches. Order ACEJ20X110 as the current replacement and verify ISO 21287 dimensions first.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACEJ20X110-40S
- ✓ 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 ACPJ20X110-40S FAQ
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 -40 code gives a 40 mm window, so the stop screw trims the 110 mm extend stroke anywhere down to 70 mm. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, with a fixed TPU bumper at both ends. The 110 mm stroke is non-standard for bore 20 (standard max 100 mm), so it is made to order.
No - the ACPJ series is discontinued. The current-production drop-in is ACEJ20X110 (same bore, stroke and force class); confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping since the ACP is DIN-standard. This unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount directly for end-of-stroke sensing. FA/FB flange and LB foot mountings, plus I/Y rod knuckles, bolt to the standard face. Weight and outline dimensions: confirm from datasheet.
