The AirTAC ACEJ12 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACEJ20X60-10B is a genuine double acting, double rod, adjustable stroke ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 60mm stroke, 1/8" 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.
The ACEJ20X60-10B is a double acting ISO 21287 compact cylinder with an adjustable extend stroke: an external stop screw trims the 60 mm stroke by up to 10 mm, giving a usable range of 50-60 mm without changing the order code. At 0.5 MPa the 20 mm bore pushes 157.1 N and pulls 117.8 N, rising to 219.9 N on the extend stroke at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical ceiling of 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The male (B) rod thread on the 10 mm rod bolts straight to standard tooling.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome-plated rod saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs and guarding. Fixed TPU bumpers at both ends absorb end-of-stroke shock, and the rod end stop is a mechanical trim only - on air loss the piston still drifts, so it never holds a load.

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 | 118 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 165 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 24 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).

|---|---|
| 20 | 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 window lets a machinist dial the clamp stroke to the fixture without shimming, and the male rod thread accepts standard knuckle accessories.
About 9 kg of usable working force at 0.5 MPa presses vials or microplates in compact analyzer frames too short for a full-length profile cylinder.
Both share the 1/8" port of the 20 mm bore. If the load must stay put when air drops, add an external brake rather than relying on the stop screw. Mount with FA flange or LB foot, and order the optional -S magnet if CMSE / DMSE switch sensing is needed - without -S there is no magnet fitted.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 157.1 N and pulls 117.8 N; at 0.7 MPa push is 219.9 N and pull 164.9 N; theoretical maximum is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. 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, fluid air filtered to 40 um. The port is 1/8", the rod is 10 mm with a male thread, and the -10 code gives a 10 mm extend-stroke adjustment window (usable 50-60 mm).
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with fixed TPU bumpers at both ends and FA flange or LB foot mounting on the standard face. Sensing requires the optional -S magnet ordered with the cylinder; this model (no S code) has no magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches cannot be mounted on it.
