About the Airtac ACEJ12 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACEJ16X60-10
The ACEJ16X60-10 is a double acting ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a 16 mm bore and a 60 mm stroke that an external stop screw trims by up to 10 mm on site, giving a usable extend range of 50-60 mm. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 75.4 N; at 0.7 MPa those figures rise to 140.7 N and 105.6 N, with a theoretical ceiling of 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 jigs and guarding where a full-length body cannot.
In practice, plan on roughly 60 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which corresponds to lifting about 5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries an S45C hard-chrome plated rod, a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, and the rod ends in a female M4x0.7 thread with an M5x0.8 port. Speed runs 30-500 mm/s across 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).

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 ACEJ16X60-10 Is Used
Small-part press fitting
Seating dowel pins or bushings into aluminium housings on an electronics assembly bench, where the 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa is enough and the 50-60 mm trim range lets one cylinder serve several housing heights.
Packaging line reject gates
Kicking off-spec cartons or blister packs off a narrow conveyor; the short ISO 21287 body fits beside the frame where an ISO 15552 profile cylinder would overhang.
Lab fixture actuation
Raising and lowering sample holders or test probes in compact benchtop rigs, lifting parts of about 5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin at 0.5 MPa.
Is the Airtac ACEJ12 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACEJ16X60-10 the Right Cylinder?
At this force class, 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa suits light clamping and small part ejection; step down to a 12 mm bore (56.5 N) for lighter loads or up to a 20 mm bore (157.1 N) when you need more margin. Remember 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 separate holding valve if the load must stay put. FA flange or LB foot mounting bolts to the standard ISO 21287 face, and if you later need position feedback, order the -S variant so CMSE / DMSE switches can be fitted.
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 ACEJ16X60-10 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 16 mm bore has an 8 mm rod, an M5x0.8 port and a female M4x0.7 rod thread. The extend stroke is adjustable from 50-60 mm via the stop screw, operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and temperature -20 to +70 C.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a hard-anodized aluminium body, an S45C hard-chrome rod and fixed TPU bumpers at both ends that decelerate the piston at the ends of travel. The body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. This version has no magnet fitted; order the -S code and CMSE or DMSE switches can then be mounted along the body slots. FA flange and LB foot mounts bolt to the standard face.
