About the Airtac ACEJ12 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACEJ16X30-10S
The ACEJ16X30-10S is a double acting AirTAC compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, with a 16 mm bore and a 30 mm stroke that an external stop screw can trim by up to 10 mm, giving a usable extend range of 20-30 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, with a theoretical 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight fixtures a full-length body cannot reach.
Plan on roughly 60 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which is about 6 kg of safe horizontal load, and expect it to lift about 5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries an S45C hard-chrome rod, fixed TPU bumpers sit at both ends, and the fitted -S magnet lets CMSE / DMSE switches report end positions. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s.

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 ACEJ16X30-10S Is Used
Small-part press fitting
Seating dowels or bearings into plastic housings on an electronics assembly bench, where the 20-30 mm trim range dials in the exact press depth.
Packaging line reject pusher
Kicking underweight cartons off a narrow conveyor lane; the short ISO 21287 body fits beside the belt frame where a longer cylinder will not.
Fixture presence confirmation
With the fitted magnet and a CMSE switch, confirming a workpiece is seated in a drilling jig before the drill cycle starts.
Is the Airtac ACEJ12 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACEJ16X30-10S the Right Cylinder?
At 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa this 16 mm bore suits light clamping and small-part ejection. Step down to a 12 mm bore (56.5 N push) for lighter loads, or up to 20 mm (157.1 N push) if the job grows. The stop screw only shortens the extend stroke and is not a mid-stroke lock, so on air loss the piston still drifts. FA flange or LB foot mountings bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the fitted magnet pairs with CMSE / DMSE switches.
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 ACEJ16X30-10S FAQ
Push is 100.5 N and pull 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa push is 140.7 N and pull 105.6 N, with a theoretical maximum of 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The -10 code means an external stop screw shortens the 30 mm extend stroke by up to 10 mm, so the working range is 20-30 mm. It runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), from -20 to +70 C at 30-500 mm/s.
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 to the body for end-of-stroke signalling. FA flange and LB foot mountings plus I/Y rod knuckles bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face; the rod end thread is female M4x0.7 and the port is M5x0.8.
