About the Airtac ACEJ12 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACEJ16X60-30B
The ACEJ16X60-30B is a double acting AirTAC compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, with a 16 mm bore, 60 mm stroke and a male rod thread (B code). An external stop screw trims the extend stroke anywhere inside the ordered 30 mm window, so the effective range is 30-60 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.
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 test rigs. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries an S45C hard-chrome rod, a fixed TPU bumper sits at each end, and speeds of 30-500 mm/s cover typical automation cycles.

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 ACEJ16X60-30B Is Used
Sample press in a lab testing fixture
A 16 mm bore delivering 140.7 N at 0.7 MPa seats microscope slides or test coupons under a gauge, and the compact body fits inside the bench-top guard where a full-length profile cylinder cannot.
Diverting small cartons on a conveyor line
With about 5 kg of practical vertical lift capability and a male-threaded rod for quick pusher-pad attachment, it nudges cosmetic or pharma cartons between lanes at 30-500 mm/s.
Is the Airtac ACEJ12 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACEJ16X60-30B the Right Cylinder?
Note that the stop screw is a mechanical end stop only - on air loss the piston drifts, so do not treat it as a load-holding lock. This version has a male rod thread and PT ports; the magnet is the optional -S code, so add it if you later want CMSE / DMSE switch position feedback. FA flange or LB foot mounts bolt to the standard ISO 21287 face.
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 ACEJ16X60-30B 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. It is double acting with an adjustable extend stroke: the -30 stop screw trims the 60 mm stroke by up to 30 mm, giving a 30-60 mm usable range. Operating pressure is 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, air filtered to 40 um, port M5x0.8, rod 8 mm with male thread.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a hard-anodized aluminium body, threaded aluminium covers, an S45C hard-chrome plated rod and a fixed TPU bumper at each end that absorbs end-of-stroke energy. Mounting length is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. Sensing is not fitted as standard: order the -S version to get the magnet that works with CMSE / DMSE switches. FA flange and LB foot mounts attach to the standard ISO 21287 face.
