This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACEJ20X110-75SB — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACEJ20X110-75SB 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 ACPJ20X110-75SB 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 ACEJ20X110-75SB (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.
Double acting and adjustable, the ACPJ20X110-75SB is a DIN-standard compact cylinder with a 20 mm bore and a 110 mm made-to-order stroke. A stop screw trims the extend stroke anywhere in the ordered 75 mm window, so the usable range is 35-110 mm on site. 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. Its short ISO 21287-class body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it fits tight jigs and gantries.
This unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches mount directly on the body, and the B code gives a male rod thread. As a working rule, plan on roughly 94 N (about 9.6 kg) of real work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note the stop screw is a mechanical end stop, not a mid-stroke lock: on air loss the piston still drifts. The ACPJ family is discontinued; the current-production drop-in is the ACEJ20X110, so confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACEJ20X110-75SB (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 ACEJ20X110-75SB 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).
Clamps small aluminum brackets in a machining jig where the 35-110 mm trim range lets one cylinder serve several part heights.
Ejects finished parts from an assembly nest, with CMSE or DMSE switches on the -S magnet confirming full extension each cycle.
Presses connectors into PCB housings, using about 94 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa to lift or load parts of roughly 8 kg.
Size both ways: the 16 mm bore pushes 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa if your load is lighter, while the 25 mm class adds margin for heavier clamping. This 20 mm model suits jobs needing 157.1 N push with a stroke trimmed anywhere from 35 to 110 mm. Mounting uses FA/FB flanges or LB feet, and the -S magnet already fitted accepts CMSE / DMSE switches for end-of-stroke sensing. The 110 mm stroke exceeds the 100 mm standard maximum for this bore, so it is made to order. For new projects, order the ACEJ20X110 instead.
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. The theoretical maximum is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the port is M5x0.8. The 110 mm stroke is a made-to-order length above the 100 mm standard maximum for this bore.
A stop screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 75 mm, giving a 35-110 mm working range; it cannot lengthen the stroke past 110 mm. The stop is a mechanical end stop only, so the load still drifts if air is lost. Fixed TPU bumpers sit at both ends. This model is discontinued; the current drop-in is the ACEJ20X110 in the same bore, stroke and force class. Confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.
