About the Airtac ACEJ12 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACEJ16X60-50S
The ACEJ16X60-50S is a double acting ISO 21287 compact cylinder with an adjustable extend stroke. Its 16 mm bore delivers 100.5 N push and 75.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa, rising to 140.7 N push at 0.7 MPa. The -50 code gives a 50 mm adjustment window: an external stop screw trims the 60 mm extend stroke down on site, so the usable range is 10-60 mm without changing the cylinder.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which makes this model easy to fit inside slim fixtures and guarding. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries an S45C hard-chrome rod, a fixed TPU bumper sits at both ends, and the fitted -S magnet accepts CMSE / DMSE switches for end-position sensing. As a rule of thumb, plan on about 60 N (roughly 6 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin) of real work at 0.5 MPa rather than the full rating.

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 ACEJ16X60-50S Is Used
Small-part press fitting
Presses dowel pins or bearings into plastic housings on electronics assembly lines, where the 10-60 mm trimmed stroke matches shallow press depths and 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa suits light interference fits.
Position-verified ejection
Kicks rejected blister packs off a packaging conveyor, with the fitted -S magnet and CMSE / DMSE switches confirming the rod has fully retracted before the next carton arrives.
Compact fixture clamping
Clamps thin aluminium brackets inside a tight CNC jig where the short body, about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, is the only way to close the guard.
Is the Airtac ACEJ12 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACEJ16X60-50S the Right Cylinder?
At 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa this bore sits between the 12 mm (56.5 N) and 20 mm (157.1 N) sizes, so step up to 20 mm if your tooling mass grows or drop to 12 mm for lighter clamping. Remember the stop screw only shortens the extend stroke and is not a mid-stroke lock: on air loss the piston can still drift, so add a separate clamp for load holding. FA flange, LB foot, FTC brackets and I/Y rod knuckles bolt to the ISO 21287 face; the female M4x0.7 rod thread suits standard tooling studs.
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 ACEJ16X60-50S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 75.4 N; at 0.7 MPa it pushes 140.7 N and pulls 105.6 N; the theoretical maximum is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The -50 code is a 50 mm adjustment window: an external stop screw shortens the 60 mm extend stroke anywhere in a 10-60 mm range. It 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.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a hard-anodized aluminium body, S45C hard-chrome rod and a fixed TPU bumper at each end that only decelerates at stroke ends. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clipped onto the body slots for end-position detection. FA flange, LB foot, FTC brackets and I/Y rod knuckles mount on the standard ISO 21287 face.
