The AirTAC Airtac ACEJ12 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACEJ16X75-10 is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 75mm 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 compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACEJ16X75-10 pairs a 16 mm bore with a 75 mm stroke and an external stop screw that trims the extend stroke by up to 10 mm on site, giving a usable range of 65-75 mm. 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 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs and guarding where a full-length body will not fit.
For sizing, plan on roughly 60 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, and note the vertical-lift equivalent: about 10 kg at full push, or roughly 5 kg with a 2:1 margin. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries an S45C hard-chrome rod with a female M4x0.7 thread, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock. The magnet is not fitted on this code; order the -S variant if you need CMSE / DMSE switch sensing.

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 | 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.

| 16 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×75 | 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 (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.
Ejects finished bushings or pins from a light-duty die, with the 10 mm window letting the operator fine-trim the 75 mm stroke to clear the part without a re-order.
Applies about 60 N of practical clamp force to PCB or sensor housings during leak and continuity checks; add the -S code for CMSE / DMSE end-position confirmation.
Folds flaps on a compact packaging head where the short ISO 21287 body, about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, fits inside the frame.
At 100.5 N push (0.5 MPa) this 16 mm bore suits light clamping and small part positioning; step down to the 12 mm bore (56.5 N) for lighter loads or up to the 20 mm bore (157.1 N) when you need more force in the same compact footprint. Remember the stop screw is a mechanical end stop for the extend stroke, not a mid-stroke lock, so the piston still drifts if air is lost. Mounting: FA flange or LB foot bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches if position feedback is added later.
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, 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 10 mm adjustable extend-stroke window (65-75 mm usable).
An external stop screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 10 mm from the ordered 75 mm, so the working range is 65-75 mm; it is a mechanical end stop, not a load-holding lock. The body is hard-anodized aluminium with a fixed TPU bumper at both ends and accepts FA / LB mounting. Sensing needs the optional -S magnet code; without it no magnet is fitted, so CMSE / DMSE switches cannot be mounted.
