Airtac ACEJ12 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACEJ12X35-30S
The AirTAC ACEJ12 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACEJ12X35-30S is a genuine double acting, double rod, 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.

About the Airtac ACEJ12 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACEJ12X35-30S
The ACEJ12X35-30S is a double acting ISO 21287 compact cylinder with an adjustable extend stroke. The -30 code gives a 30 mm adjustment window: an external stop screw trims the 35 mm stroke down on site to any length from 5 to 35 mm, so one cylinder can be dialled in for several fixture positions.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it suits slim clamping stations and compact slides. A hard-anodized aluminium body carries an S45C hard-chrome plated 6 mm rod, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end to soften end-of-stroke impact. Because the S code is ordered, the magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be mounted in the body slots. As a sizing guide, plan on roughly 34 N (about 3 kg of vertical lift) of real work at 0.5 MPa rather than the full 56.5 N rating.

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 ACEJ12X35-30S Is Used
Micro clamping of small parts
Holds light aluminium or plastic workpieces in electronics and watchmaking fixtures, with the stroke trimmed from 35 mm down to as little as 5 mm to match each jig.
Position-confirmed ejector
Pushes finished components off a small assembly nest; the fitted magnet plus a CMSE or DMSE switch confirms the part has been fully ejected at the trimmed stroke.
Lab and test-rig actuation
Cycles small gates, dosing heads and sample holders on automated test benches, running 30-500 mm/s on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) filtered air.
Is the Airtac ACEJ12 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACEJ12X35-30S the Right Cylinder?
The stop screw only shortens the extend stroke and acts as an end stop, not a mid-stroke lock: on air loss the piston still drifts, so add a separate holding valve for suspended loads. FA flange or LB foot mounts bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the fitted -S magnet accepts CMSE / DMSE switches for end-position sensing.
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 ACEJ12X35-30S FAQ
The ordered stroke is 35 mm and the -30 stop screw trims the extend stroke anywhere within a 30 mm window, giving a usable range of 5-35 mm. Port size is M5x0.8 and the rod thread is female M3x0.5.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits where a full-length cylinder will not. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke impact. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clipped into the body slots to signal extend and retract positions.
