Airtac ACEJ12 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACEJ16X30-30SB
The AirTAC ACEJ12 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACEJ16X30-30SB is a genuine double acting, double rod, adjustable stroke ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 30mm 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 ACEJ16X30-30SB
A double acting ISO 21287 compact cylinder, the ACEJ16X30-30SB pairs a 16 mm bore with a 30 mm stroke that an external stop screw trims anywhere in the ordered 30 mm window, so one unit covers 0-30 mm of extend travel. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 75.4 N; at 0.7 MPa push rises to 140.7 N. The male rod thread (B code) and the fitted -S magnet make it direct ready for switch-based positioning.
The short ISO 21287 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 guarded assemblies. A hard-anodized aluminium body carries an S45C hard-chrome rod, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end.

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 | Force (both ways) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 75 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 106 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 15 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 ACEJ16X30-30SB Is Used
Vision-check actuator
Advances a camera bracket into a PCB inspection station; the fitted -S magnet drives CMSE switches so the PLC confirms the extend position before the vision cycle starts.
Is the Airtac ACEJ12 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACEJ16X30-30SB the Right Cylinder?
Remember the stop screw sets the extend end position but is not a mid-stroke lock - on air loss the piston still drifts, so add a separate clamp if holding matters. FA flange or LB foot mountings bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the fitted -S magnet accepts CMSE / DMSE switches for end-of-stroke sensing. Running 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at 30-500 mm/s suits most pick-and-place timing.
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 ACEJ16X30-30SB FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 75.4 N; at 0.7 MPa push is 140.7 N and pull 105.6 N; theoretical maximum is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, speed 30-500 mm/s, air filtered to 40 um, and -20 to +70 C temperature range.
The -30 code orders a 30 mm adjustment window: an external stop screw shortens the 30 mm extend stroke on site, giving a usable 0-30 mm range, with fixed TPU bumpers decelerating at both ends. The S code means the magnet is fitted, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount in the body slots - without -S there is no magnet. The body is hard-anodized aluminium with an S45C hard-chrome rod, about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and takes FA/LB mountings on the ISO 21287 face.
