The AirTAC ACEJ12 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACEJ16X60-10B is a genuine double acting, double rod, adjustable stroke ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 60mm 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 ACEJ16X60-10B is a double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, with a 16 mm bore, 60 mm stroke and a male-threaded 8 mm rod (the B code). An external stop screw trims the extend stroke by up to 10 mm on site, so the usable extend range is 50-60 mm without changing the cylinder. 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 maximum of 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into slim fixtures, guarding and pick stations where a full-length body cannot. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries an S45C hard-chrome rod, a fixed TPU bumper at each end, and runs 30-500 mm/s on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).

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 | 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).

| 16 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×60 | Stroke length in mm. |

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.
Toggling a small guard door or test lid in a semi-automatic jig; with the optional -S magnet ordered, CMSE / DMSE switches confirm end positions on the 60 mm stroke.
If your load must stay put during a pause, remember the stop screw is a mechanical end stop for the extend stroke only - it does not lock the piston mid-stroke, and on air loss the rod still drifts. Mounting bolts straight to the ISO 21287 face (FA flange, LB foot, FTC brackets, I/Y rod knuckles). This unit has no magnet; order the -S code if you later need CMSE / DMSE switch position sensing.
Quick checklist
It is double acting with an adjustable extend stroke: the -10 stop screw trims the 60 mm stroke by up to 10 mm, giving a 50-60 mm usable 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, port M5x0.8, rod 8 mm male thread (B code).
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits tight jigs and guards. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. FA flange, LB foot, FTC brackets and I/Y rod knuckles bolt to the standard face. Position sensing needs the optional -S magnet code - this model (no S) has no magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches cannot be fitted unless you order the -S version.
