About the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE16X10SB
This AirTAC ACE16X10SB is a double acting compact cylinder with a 16 mm bore and 10 mm stroke, delivering a 100.5 N push force at 0.5 MPa. Its short ISO 21287 body takes up about half the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, making it ideal for tight machine frames and guarding. The hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome plated rod resist wear in continuous cycling.
With the optional -S magnet fitted, this unit works with CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches for reliable position sensing. For a real-world load, plan on roughly 60 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 6 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke impact, and the male rod thread (B code) simplifies direct attachment of tooling.

Where the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE16X10SB Is Used
Fixture Clamping
Use in a small pneumatic vise or work-holding fixture on a benchtop drill press, where the 10 mm stroke precisely clamps thin sheet metal parts without over-travel.
Label Applicator
Drive a label tamp head in a packaging line, cycling at moderate speed to press labels onto small cartons; the compact body fits between existing guide rails.
Guard Interlock
Actuate a safety interlock pin on a light machine guard, where the short stroke and double acting retract ensure the pin clears the frame when air is applied.
Is the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE16X10SB the Right Cylinder?
For a lighter push, the ACE12X10 offers 56.5 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the ACE20X10 gives 157.1 N for heavier actuation. Since this is a double acting cylinder, air both extends and retracts the rod; it does not hold position if air pressure is lost, so add a pilot check valve or rod lock for load holding. The M5x0.8 port suits small-bore air preparation, and the male rod thread accepts standard couplings without extra adapters.
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 ACE16X10SB FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, push is 100.5 N and pull is 75.4 N. At 0.7 MPa, push rises to 140.7 N and pull to 105.6 N. The theoretical maximum force is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), with proof pressure at 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length compared to an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into tight jigs and guards. The fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke impact, and the optional -S magnet allows CMSE or DMSE sensors to detect rod position. The M5x0.8 port is standard for this 16 mm bore.
