This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACEJ20X110-75S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACEJ20X110-75S 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 ACPJ20X110-75S 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 ACEJ20X110-75S (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.
This discontinued AirTAC model is a double acting compact cylinder with an adjustable stroke: a stop screw trims the 110 mm extend stroke by up to 75 mm, giving a usable range of 35-110 mm. 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. The 110 mm stroke exceeds the 100 mm standard maximum for this bore, so it is a made-to-order length. The fitted -S magnet lets CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches report end positions.
The short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs and guarding. In practice, plan on roughly 94 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. A hard-anodized aluminium body, S45C hard-chrome rod, fixed TPU bumpers at both ends and a female M6x1.0 rod thread complete the package. Replacement: ACEJ20X110, same bore, stroke and force class - confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACEJ20X110-75S (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 | 157 N | 118 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 220 N | 165 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 32 kgf | |
The ACEJ20X110-75S 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). |
|---|---|
| 20 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×110 | 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 35-110 mm trim range lets one cylinder serve several pallet sizes; 157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa secures light aluminium fixtures.
Pushes small cartons off infeed conveyors; the short body fits under low guard rails where a full-length cylinder will not.
The fitted -S magnet with CMSE / DMSE switches confirms full extension before a leak or label check cycle starts.
Size both ways: the 16 mm bore gives 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the 25 mm class above pushes harder - if 157.1 N at 0.5 MPa covers your load with margin, stay at 20 mm. Remember the stop screw is a mechanical end stop for the extend stroke, not a mid-stroke lock: on air loss the piston still drifts, so do not rely on it to hold a load. FA/FB flanges and LB feet bolt to the standard face, and the -S magnet on this unit pairs with CMSE / DMSE switches. Order the ACEJ20X110 as the current-production drop-in and verify ISO 21287 mounting dimensions.
Replacement checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 157.1 N and pulls 117.8 N; at 0.7 MPa that rises to 219.9 N push and 164.9 N pull, with a theoretical maximum of 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The stop screw shortens the 110 mm stroke by up to 75 mm, so the usable extend range is 35-110 mm. Note the 110 mm stroke is a made-to-order length, since the standard maximum for a 20 mm bore is 100 mm.
It is a short-body compact cylinder with a hard-anodized aluminium body, S45C hard-chrome rod, fixed TPU bumpers at both ends and an M5x0.8 port, saving about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. The ACPJ family is discontinued; the current drop-in is the ACEJ20X110 (same bore, stroke and force class). Confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping, because the ACP is DIN-standard.
