About the Airtac ACEJ12 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACEJ12X35-10
The ACEJ12X35-10 is a double acting ISO 21287 compact cylinder with an adjustable extend stroke. A stop screw on the body trims the 35 mm stroke by up to 10 mm on site, giving a usable range of 25-35 mm without changing the cylinder. At 0.5 MPa the 12 mm bore delivers 56.5 N push and 42.4 N pull, rising to 79.2 N push at 0.7 MPa. As a rule of thumb, plan for about 34 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts roughly 2.9 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into slim fixtures, small guarding and bench-top tooling. A hard-anodized aluminium body runs on an S45C hard-chrome plated rod, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end to absorb end-of-stroke impact. Air ports are M5x0.8 and the rod end carries a female M3x0.5 thread. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s over 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).

Where the Airtac ACEJ12 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACEJ12X35-10 Is Used
Micro press-fit of connectors
The 56.5 N push at 0.5 MPa is enough to seat small PCB connectors and terminals, while the 10 mm adjustment window lets you dial the press depth between 25 and 35 mm.
Reject gate on a lab conveyor
Short 25-35 mm strokes and a body about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder fit the tight space under a narrow inspection conveyor to push off failed parts.
Sample lift in test fixtures
With about 2.9 kg of vertical lift at a 2:1 margin, the cylinder raises small sample trays or probes in bench-top test rigs, driven from an M5x0.8 port.
Is the Airtac ACEJ12 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACEJ12X35-10 the Right Cylinder?
At 56.5 N push (0.5 MPa) this bore suits light clamping, ejecting and part-presenting tasks. If your load needs more, the 16 mm bore gives 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa; if less force is fine, the smaller frame sizes still share the same compact footprint. Remember the stop screw is a mechanical end stop only - on air loss the piston drifts, so it is not a load-holding lock. Mount with FA flange or LB foot brackets, and if you need position sensing, order the -S variant so CMSE / DMSE switches can be fitted; this model has no magnet.
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 ACEJ12X35-10 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 56.5 N and pulls 42.4 N; at 0.7 MPa push is 79.2 N and pull 59.4 N; theoretical maximum is 11.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The extend stroke is adjustable from 25 to 35 mm via the external stop screw (10 mm window). Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C, fluid air filtered to 40 um. Port is M5x0.8, rod thread female M3x0.5.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke impact. FA flange and LB foot brackets bolt to the standard face. Position sensing requires the optional -S magnet with CMSE / DMSE switches - this model, ordered without the S code, carries no magnet, so no sensor can be mounted on it.
