The AirTAC ACEJ12 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACEJ16X60-10SB 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.
A double acting AirTAC ACEJ with a 16 mm bore and 60 mm stroke, this ISO 21287 compact cylinder carries an external stop screw that trims the extend stroke by up to 10 mm on site, giving a usable 50-60 mm range. 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. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight fixtures and guarding where a full-length body cannot.
The hard-anodized aluminium body pairs with an 8 mm S45C hard-chrome rod, and this -S version carries the optional magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clipped on for end-of-stroke sensing. The B code gives a male rod thread; the port is M5x0.8.

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. |
| -10 | Adjustable stroke window (mm the extend stroke can be shortened on site). |
| S | Optional built-in magnet for CMSE / DMSE sensors (omit for no magnet). |
| B | Rod type: B = male thread; blank = female thread. |
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.
The 50-60 mm adjustable extend range and about 60 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa eject machined pins or plastic caps from light-duty drill and assembly jigs.
With the fitted -S magnet driving CMSE / DMSE switches, the cylinder confirms clamp presence on compact test benches and inspection stations.
Remember the stop screw only shortens the extend stroke within the 10 mm window and is not a mid-stroke lock - on air loss the piston still drifts. Mount with FA flange or LB foot on the ISO 21287 face; the male rod thread suits couplers and knuckles. Speed range 30-500 mm/s, pressure 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
Quick checklist
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. It is double acting with a 10 mm adjustable extend window (usable 50-60 mm), runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C, with a fixed TPU bumper at both ends.
An external stop screw shortens the 60 mm extend stroke by up to 10 mm, so you can set anywhere between 50 and 60 mm on site; it is a mechanical end stop, not a load-holding lock. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount in the body slots. The male rod thread and FA/LB mounting face drop into standard ISO 21287 fixtures.
