Airtac ACEJ12 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACEJ12X30-30B
The AirTAC ACEJ12 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACEJ12X30-30B is a genuine double acting, double rod, 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 ACEJ12X30-30B
A double acting compact actuator built to ISO 21287, the ACEJ12X30-30B pairs a 12 mm bore with a 30 mm stroke that an external stop screw can trim anywhere from 0 to 30 mm on site. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 56.5 N and pulls 42.4 N, rising to 79.2 N at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical ceiling of 11.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome plated rod keep wear low across a 30-500 mm/s speed band.
The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into slim fixtures, small guarding frames and bench-top rigs. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock. Note that this version has no magnet fitted; the optional -S code is what enables CMSE / DMSE switch 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 | Force (both ways) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 42 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 59 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 9 kgf |
ACEJ is double-rod: the rear rod that carries the stroke adjuster exits the rear cover, so both piston faces lose rod area. The rod-side (annular) area is used for both directions (conservative).

Where the Airtac ACEJ12 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACEJ12X30-30B Is Used
Micro stop-gauging on a PCB test rig
The 0-30 mm trim lets a technician dial the exact press depth for connector seating tests, with 56.5 N at 0.5 MPa enough for light contact force.
Small-part ejection from a molding tray
A 30 mm kick clears tiny molded caps off a fixture plate; the compact body fits where a full-length profile cylinder cannot.
Sample presenter in a lab autosampler
The male rod thread screws straight into a custom sample holder, and the short ISO 21287 body keeps the station footprint tight.
Is the Airtac ACEJ12 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACEJ12X30-30B the Right Cylinder?
The male rod thread (B code) suits couplings and knuckles that screw on, and the rod end takes an M3x0.5 female thread in the standard version. FA flange or LB foot mountings bolt to the ISO 21287 face. Remember the stop screw only shortens the extend stroke; it is a mechanical end stop, not a mid-stroke lock, so the piston still drifts if air is lost.
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 ACEJ12X30-30B FAQ
It is double acting, runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), temperature -20 to +70 C, speed 30-500 mm/s, with a 6 mm rod, M5x0.8 port and a 30 mm adjustable extend-stroke window.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and FA flange or LB foot mountings bolt straight to its face. Sensing requires the optional -S magnet code; this model (no S) has no magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches cannot be fitted unless you order the -S variant. A fixed TPU bumper at each end softens end-of-stroke impact.
