Airtac ACEJ12 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACEJ12X30-10SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACEJ12 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACEJ12X30-10SB is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø12mm bore and 30mm 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 ACEJ12 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACEJ12X30-10SB
The ACEJ12X30-10SB is a double acting ISO 21287 compact cylinder with an adjustable extend stroke: an external stop screw trims the 30 mm stroke by up to 10 mm, giving a usable range of 20-30 mm on site. At 0.5 MPa this 12 mm bore delivers 56.5 N push and 42.4 N pull, rising to 79.2 N push at 0.7 MPa. The male rod thread (B code) suits inline tooling, and the fitted -S magnet accepts CMSE / DMSE switches for end-position sensing.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into slim fixtures and guarded cells. A hard-anodized aluminium body carries an S45C hard-chrome rod, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end. In practice, plan on roughly 34 N (about 3.5 kgf) of real work at 0.5 MPa, and expect it to lift about 2.9 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at 30-500 mm/s.

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 ACEJ12 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACEJ12X30-10SB Is Used
Small-part ejection in plastic molding
The 20-30 mm adjustable stroke and 56.5 N push at 0.5 MPa eject finished caps or connectors from shallow cavities, with the stop screw set to match cavity depth exactly.
Presence checking on electronics assembly lines
The fitted -S magnet drives CMSE / DMSE switches to confirm the rod has reached the trimmed position, while the compact body fits inside slim test fixtures.
Light press-fitting of pins and bushings
About 34 N of practical force at 0.5 MPa presses dowel pins into small aluminium housings, with the male rod thread coupling directly to the press tip.
Is the Airtac ACEJ12 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACEJ12X30-10SB the Right Cylinder?
At 56.5 N push at 0.5 MPa, this 12 mm bore suits light clamping and positioning. Step down is not available in this series, so if the load is under about 34 N of working force, keep bore 12 and trim the stroke with the stop screw; if you need more, the 16 mm bore gives 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa. Note the stop screw is a mechanical end stop only - on air loss the piston still drifts, so do not use it to hold a load mid-stroke. FA flange or LB foot mounts bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the fitted -S magnet lets CMSE / DMSE switches report end positions.
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 ACEJ12 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACEJ12X30-10SB FAQ
At 0.5 MPa: 56.5 N push and 42.4 N pull. At 0.7 MPa: 79.2 N push and 59.4 N pull. Theoretical maximum is 11.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The -10 code is a 10 mm adjustment window: an external stop screw shortens the 30 mm extend stroke by up to 10 mm, so the working range is 20-30 mm. It cannot lengthen the stroke past 30 mm.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder whose short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a hard-anodized aluminium body, S45C hard-chrome rod and a fixed TPU bumper at both ends. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clamped to the body for end-position signals. FA flange and LB foot mounts fit the standard ISO 21287 face.
