About the Airtac ACEJ12 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACEJ16X60-50B
The ACEJ16X60-50B is a double acting ISO 21287 compact cylinder with an adjustable extend stroke. The -50 code gives a 50 mm adjustment window: an external stop screw trims the 60 mm stroke down on site, so one cylinder covers any extend length from 10 to 60 mm without reordering.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which makes this bore a natural fit for slim pick-and-place heads and compact test rigs. The male rod thread (B code) on the 8 mm rod bolts directly to standard tooling plates.

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 ACEJ16X60-50B Is Used
Compact lab press for sample prep
With about 60 N of usable force and a 60 mm stroke trimmed by the stop screw, it presses sensor caps or micro-titer seals in tight benchtop enclosures.
Is the Airtac ACEJ12 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACEJ16X60-50B the Right Cylinder?
Remember the stop screw only shortens the extend stroke and drifts on air loss, so it is not a load-holding device. FA flange, LB foot and I/Y rod knuckles mount on the standard ISO 21287 face; if you need position feedback, order the -S variant so CMSE / DMSE switches can be fitted - this model has no magnet.
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 ACEJ16X60-50B FAQ
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. It is double acting with a 50 mm adjustment window on the 60 mm extend stroke, 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 and an M5x0.8 port.
An external stop screw shortens the extend stroke anywhere within the ordered 50 mm window, giving a usable range of 10-60 mm; it is a mechanical end stop, not a mid-stroke lock, so the rod still drifts if air is lost. This model has no magnet, so no switch can be mounted - order the -S code to enable CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches. The hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome 8 mm rod suit FA flange, LB foot and I/Y knuckle mounting.
