About the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE16X10B
This AirTAC ACE16X10B is a double acting ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a 16 mm bore and a 10 mm stroke, delivering 100.5 N of push force and 75.4 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. Its short, hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, making it a fit for tight spaces where a longer cylinder will not go.
The fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke energy, and the S45C carbon-steel rod with hard-chrome plating is built for wear resistance. With a theoretical max force of 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa, a practical rule of thumb is to plan for about 60 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which translates to lifting roughly 6 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. This model has a male rod thread (B code) and no magnet, so CMSE or DMSE sensors cannot be mounted unless you order the optional -S version.

Where the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE16X10B Is Used
Small Parts Assembly
Use the ACE16X10B to press small electronic components into place on a benchtop fixture, where its 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa is enough for light insertion tasks.
Jig Clamping
Mount this cylinder in a compact jig to hold a workpiece during drilling or gluing, with the 10 mm stroke providing quick, repeatable clamping action in a tight space.
Lab Test Actuator
In a laboratory test rig, the ACE16X10B can cycle a small lever or valve repeatedly at speeds up to 500 mm/s, offering precise motion for durability testing.
Is the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE16X10B the Right Cylinder?
For a lighter application, the ACE12X10 offers a 56.5 N push at 0.5 MPa, while moving up to the ACE20X10 gives you 157.1 N push at the same pressure. This 16 mm bore unit suits small assembly fixtures or light clamping where the 10 mm stroke is enough. Since it lacks the optional -S magnet, it is not sensor-ready; choose the -S code if you need to detect position. The male rod thread simplifies mounting with rod-end accessories, and the M5x0.8 port is standard for this bore size.
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 ACE16X10B FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 100.5 N and the pull force is 75.4 N. At 0.7 MPa, push is 140.7 N and pull is 105.6 N. The theoretical maximum force is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The operating pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
No, this ACE16X10B does not have a magnet, so you cannot mount CMSE or DMSE switches. You would need to order the -S version for sensor capability. The cylinder has a hard-anodized aluminium body and a hard-chrome plated S45C steel rod, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end to absorb impact. It operates in temperatures from -20 to 70 C.
