The AirTAC ACEJ12 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACEJ12X50-10SB is a genuine double acting, double rod, adjustable stroke ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø12mm bore and 50mm 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.
The ACEJ12X50-10SB is a double acting AirTAC compact cylinder to ISO 21287 with an adjustable extend stroke: an external stop screw trims the 50 mm stroke by up to 10 mm, giving a usable range of 40-50 mm without changing the cylinder.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome plated 6 mm rod keeps the mounting length about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight pick-and-place heads and small fixtures. The male (B) rod thread suits external rod couplings, the fitted -S magnet works with CMSE / DMSE switches, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke impact. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C.

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 | 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).

|---|---|
| 12 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×50 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -10 | Adjustable stroke window (mm the extend stroke can be shortened on site). |
| S | Optional built-in magnet for CMSE / DMSE sensors (omit for no magnet). |
| B | Rod type: B = male thread; blank = female thread. |
ACE-family variants: ACE (double acting), ASE / ATE (single acting push / pull), ACED (double rod), ACEJ (double rod, 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.
Mounted beside a bottling line conveyor, the 12 mm bore kicks underweight vials off the belt; the fitted magnet and a CMSE switch confirm the kick on every cycle at up to 500 mm/s.
The stop screw is a mechanical end stop only - on air loss the piston can still drift, so do not rely on it to hold a load. Foot (LB) or flange (FA) mounting and the optional -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches make fixture integration straightforward; this model already carries the magnet and the male rod thread.
Quick checklist
Theoretical maximum is 11.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Bore is 12 mm, stroke 50 mm adjustable down to 40 mm via the -10 stop screw, port M5x0.8, rod 6 mm with male thread, speed 30-500 mm/s, operating pressure 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
The ISO 21287 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 fixed TPU bumpers at both ends. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clipped onto the body slots for end-of-stroke detection. FA flange and LB foot mounts bolt to the standard ISO 21287 face.
