This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ACEJ20X160-75B — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ACEJ20X160-75B 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 ACPJ20X160-75B
The AirTAC Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ20X160-75B is a double acting, adjustable stroke DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 160mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ACEJ20X160-75B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ20X160-75B
The ACPJ20X160-75B is a double acting compact cylinder with an adjustable extend stroke: a stop screw trims the 160 mm stroke by up to 75 mm, giving a usable range of 85-160 mm on site. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 157.1 N and pulls 117.8 N, and at 0.7 MPa it reaches 219.9 N on the extend side. The 160 mm stroke exceeds the 100 mm standard limit for a 20 mm bore, so it is a made-to-order build. This model is discontinued; the current-production replacement is ACEJ20X160.
The short ISO 21287-class 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. Plan for roughly 94 N of real work at 0.5 MPa (about 0.6 of the push rating), which lifts about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The male rod thread (B code) bolts to I/Y knuckles, and FA flange or LB foot mounts attach to the standard face. No magnet is fitted on this version; order the -S code if you need CMSE / DMSE switch sensing. Air supply 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, fixed TPU bumpers at both ends.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ACEJ20X160-75B (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 ACEJ20X160-75B 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 ACPJ20X160-75B Is Used
Fixture clamp with tunable reach
On a machining fixture, the 75 mm window lets a technician dial the clamp stroke between 85 and 160 mm to seat different part heights, using about 94 N of usable clamp force at 0.5 MPa.
Small-part lift in a pick station
The 10 mm male-thread rod lifts about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin, ideal for raising trays or chutes in an electronics assembly cell.
Ejector on a packaging line
With 219.9 N push at 0.7 MPa, the cylinder kicks cartons off a conveyor lane; the short body fits inside tight guarding where a full-length profile cylinder cannot.
Replacing the Airtac ACPJ Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACPJ20X160-75B with the ACEJ20X160-75B
Size up or down by force: a 16 mm bore gives 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping to a larger bore raises thrust further. If you need the full 160 mm travel with no trimming, order a fixed-stroke model instead; the -75 window only shortens the extend stroke between 85 and 160 mm and is not a mid-stroke lock, so the rod still drifts if air is lost. For position feedback, the -S magnet version accepts CMSE / DMSE switches. Confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping to ACEJ20X160, since this ACP series is DIN-standard.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ACEJ20X160-75B
- ✓ 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 ACPJ20X160-75B FAQ
Push is 157.1 N and pull 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa push is 219.9 N and pull 164.9 N, with a theoretical maximum of 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The -75 code means a stop screw trims the extend stroke by up to 75 mm, so the usable range is 85-160 mm. The 160 mm stroke is a made-to-order build because the standard maximum for a 20 mm bore is 100 mm. This model is discontinued; ACEJ20X160 is the current replacement.
It is a short ISO 21287-class compact cylinder with a hard-anodized aluminium body, an S45C hard-chrome rod, a male rod thread, an M5x0.8 port and fixed TPU bumpers at both ends. The body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. This version has no magnet, so no switch can be read; order the -S code to enable CMSE / DMSE switches. FA flange and LB foot mounts fit the standard face.
