The AirTAC Airtac ACEJ12 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACEJ12X35-10B is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø12mm bore and 35mm 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.
A double acting compact actuator built to ISO 21287, the ACEJ12X35-10B uses a 12 mm bore to deliver 56.5 N push and 42.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa (79.2 / 59.4 N at 0.7 MPa). Its stop screw trims the extend stroke on site anywhere in the ordered 10 mm window, so the same cylinder covers a 25-35 mm working range without re-ordering. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into slim pick-and-place heads and tight fixture pockets.
The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a hard-chrome plated S45C rod with a male thread (the B code), and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock. Running at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and 30-500 mm/s, plan on roughly 34 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 3 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note this model has no magnet; order the -S code if CMSE / DMSE switch sensing is needed later.

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.
| 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.

ACE-family variants: ACE (double acting), ASE / ATE (single acting push / pull), ACED (double rod), ACEJ (adjustable stroke), TACE / TACED (non-rotating twin-guide yoke). Mounting accessories: FA / FB flange, LB foot, CA / CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, FTC; plus I and Y knuckles. Thread PT (blank) / G.
Ejects small stamped terminals or connector pins off a die, where the 25-35 mm trimmed stroke and 56.5 N push clear parts from a narrow nest.
Raises and lowers a small dispensing nozzle in a benchtop filling rig; the about 3 kg vertical lift capacity with margin covers light tooling plates.
Acts as a fine-travel clamp or stopper on assembly jigs, where the 10 mm adjustment window lets technicians dial the exact contact point without shimming.
At this bore size the 12 mm unit gives 56.5 N push at 0.5 MPa; step up to a 16 mm bore for 100.5 N or drop to a smaller frame only if the load is under about 34 N. The 35 mm stroke sits well inside the 50 mm maximum standard stroke for bore 12, so no made-to-order stroke is involved. The male rod thread (B) suits tooling that screws directly onto the rod; FA flange and LB foot mounts bolt to the ISO 21287 face. The adjuster is a mechanical end stop for the extend stroke only - it does not hold a load if air is lost. Add the -S option if you want position feedback via CMSE / DMSE switches.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 56.5 N and pulls 42.4 N; at 0.7 MPa that rises to 79.2 N push and 59.4 N pull, with a theoretical maximum of 11.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It is double acting with a 12 mm bore, 35 mm stroke adjustable down to 25 mm via the stop screw, M5x0.8 ports, 6 mm male-thread rod, operating pressure 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and speed 30-500 mm/s.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits shallow fixtures and slim gantries. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock. Sensing is not included on this model: the magnet is the optional -S code, and only with -S can CMSE / DMSE switches be mounted in the body slots.
