Airtac ACEJ12 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACEJ16X10-10SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACEJ12 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACEJ16X10-10SB is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 10mm 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 ACEJ16X10-10SB
A double acting AirTAC ACEJ with a 16 mm bore and a short 10 mm stroke, trimmed on site by an external stop screw within the ordered -10 window, so the usable extend range is 0-10 mm. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 75.4 N; at 0.7 MPa those rise to 140.7 N and 105.6 N. The male rod thread (B code) bolts straight into linkages, and the -S magnet this model carries lets CMSE or DMSE switches report end positions.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into slim pick-and-place heads and fixture plates. A practical sizing note: plan on roughly 60 N of real work (about 0.6 of the push figure), which is the equivalent of lifting about 5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome rod, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end, run at 30-500 mm/s on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) air.

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 (Ø16mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 101 N | 75 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 141 N | 106 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 21 kgf | |
Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.

Where the Airtac ACEJ12 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACEJ16X10-10SB Is Used
Micro part ejection
Ejects small stamped or moulded parts from a nest with the 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa, the 10 mm stroke trimmed to exactly the part height via the stop screw.
Gated assembly check
With the fitted -S magnet, CMSE or DMSE switches confirm the 0-10 mm extend range on a fixture, verifying a pin or lever reached its seat before the cycle continues.
Small clutch or brake actuation
The male rod thread and 75.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa retract a light spring-loaded lever or clutch dog inside a compact gearbox cover where a full-length body will not fit.
Is the Airtac ACEJ12 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACEJ16X10-10SB the Right Cylinder?
For a 10 mm trim stroke, compare the 12 mm bore (56.5 N push at 0.5 MPa) if the load is under about 35 N of working force, or step up to the 20 mm bore (157.1 N push) for heavier clamping. The stop screw only shortens the extend stroke and is not a mid-stroke lock: on air loss the piston still drifts, so add a check or locking valve if the load must stay put. FA flange or LB foot mountings and I/Y rod knuckles fit the ISO 21287 face; PT ports are standard and G is optional.
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 ACEJ16X10-10SB FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 75.4 N; at 0.7 MPa, 140.7 N push and 105.6 N pull; theoretical maximum is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It is double acting with an adjustable extend stroke: the -10 stop screw trims the 10 mm stroke anywhere in a 0-10 mm range. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C, air filtered to 40 um, port M5x0.8, rod 8 mm with male thread.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits tight guards and fixture plates. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE reed or DMSE solid-state switches mount in the body slots for end-of-stroke signalling. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, FA/LB mountings and I/Y knuckles bolt to the standard face, and PT or G port threads are available.
