Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE12X35SB
The AirTAC ACE Compact Cylinder ACE12X35SB is a genuine double acting ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø12mm bore and 35mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. Its short compact envelope saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder.

About the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE12X35SB
This AirTAC ACE12X35SB is double acting, using air to both extend and retract the 6 mm rod over a 35 mm stroke. The hard-anodized aluminium body makes it about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into tight machine guards and compact jigs where a full-length cylinder will not.
With a 12 mm bore, it delivers a 56.5 N push and 42.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 79.2 N push at 0.7 MPa. The optional -S magnet is fitted here, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be mounted for position sensing.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACE-series (ISO 21287) datasheet. Body: hard-anodized aluminium alloy; piston rod: S45C carbon steel with hard-chrome plating. Rod type: female thread (blank) or male thread (B). Thread options: PT (blank) / G. A built-in magnet is OPTIONAL — add the -S code to fit CMSE / DMSE position sensors.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø12mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 57 N | 42 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 79 N | 59 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 12 kgf | |
Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.

Where the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE12X35SB Is Used
Compact jig clamping
Use the ACE12X35SB to clamp small parts in a CNC fixture where the short ISO 21287 body fits between guide rails, providing a 56.5 N hold at 0.5 MPa.
Tight-space push
In a packaging line, this cylinder can push labels or light components into place over 35 mm, with the male rod thread simplifying attachment of a custom pusher.
Position-sensed sorting
With the fitted -S magnet, mount a CMSE switch to detect the extended position in a small sorting mechanism, confirming each part is pushed before the next cycle.
Is the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE12X35SB the Right Cylinder?
Choose the ACE12X35SB when you need a compact, double-acting cylinder with a 35 mm stroke and a male rod thread. Compare it with the ACE16X35, which offers a 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa for about 78% more force in a slightly larger body, or step down to the ACE12X25 for a shorter stroke if space is tighter. This model includes the -S magnet for sensor feedback, and the M5x0.8 port suits small-bore air circuits. Mounting options like FA/FB flanges or LB foot brackets bolt directly to the ISO 21287 face, simplifying integration into standard fixtures.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Short stroke fits the compact body
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G)
- ✓ Add -S if you need the magnet for sensors
- ✓ Rod type (female / male B) & mount (FA/LB/CA)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Compact body: keep the stroke short and avoid side load on the rod.
- check Do not dismantle the threaded front/back covers.
- check Keep speed within the rated range; the TPU bumper absorbs stroke-end energy.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE12X35SB FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 56.5 N and the pull force is 42.4 N. At 0.7 MPa, push is 79.2 N and pull is 59.4 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 11.5 kgf. These figures are for the 12 mm bore with a 6 mm rod.
The ACE12X35SB uses a hard-anodized aluminium body that is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, making it ideal for tight spaces. It has a fixed TPU bumper at both ends to absorb end-of-stroke impact, and the optional -S magnet allows CMSE or DMSE switches for position sensing. It is not a tie-rod cylinder and does not have adjustable cushioning.
