Airtac ACEJ12 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACEJ20X90-10SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACEJ12 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACEJ20X90-10SB is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 90mm 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.

About the Airtac ACEJ12 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACEJ20X90-10SB
The ACEJ20X90-10SB is a double acting ISO 21287 compact cylinder with an adjustable extend stroke: an external stop screw trims the 90 mm stroke by up to 10 mm on site, giving a usable range of 80-90 mm without changing the cylinder. At 0.5 MPa the 20 mm bore delivers 157.1 N push and 117.8 N pull, rising to 219.9 N push at 0.7 MPa. The male rod thread (B code) bolts straight into knuckle fittings, and the fitted -S magnet accepts CMSE / DMSE switches for end-of-stroke sensing.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight fixtures and guarding. In practice, plan on roughly 94 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin - enough for small clamps, chutes and light lift-and-locate tasks. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, the hard-anodized aluminium body resists wear, and the S45C hard-chrome rod keeps friction low across the 30-500 mm/s speed range.

Theoretical Output Force (Ø20mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 157 N | 118 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 220 N | 165 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 32 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 ACEJ20X90-10SB Is Used
Small jig clamping
Clamps fixture plates on assembly benches where the 80-90 mm adjustable stroke and 157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa hold light parts during a screwdriving or riveting cycle.
Chute diverting
Kicks small cartons or blister packs off a packaging line conveyor; the compact body fits between guide rails where a full-length profile cylinder will not.
Light parts lifting
Lifts about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin, ideal for raising small trays or workpieces into a locating nest on an automated test station.
Is the Airtac ACEJ12 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACEJ20X90-10SB the Right Cylinder?
Check the load both ways before ordering. At 0.5 MPa this 20 mm bore pushes 157.1 N; the 16 mm bore next size down manages 100.5 N push, while the 25 mm bore steps up to 245.4 N. If your mechanism needs more than about 94 N of real work, move to 25 mm. Remember the stop screw only shortens the extend stroke - it is not a mid-stroke lock, so on air loss the piston still drifts. The male rod thread suits I or Y knuckles on FA flange or LB foot mountings, and the fitted -S magnet means CMSE / DMSE switches can be added immediately.
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 ACEJ20X90-10SB FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 157.1 N and pulls 117.8 N; at 0.7 MPa it pushes 219.9 N and pulls 164.9 N; the theoretical maximum is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The -10 code means an external stop screw shortens the 90 mm extend stroke by up to 10 mm, so the working range is 80-90 mm. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, air filtered to 40 um, and the stop is an end stop only - it never holds a load on air loss.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder whose short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a fixed TPU bumper at both ends and FA flange or LB foot mountings plus I/Y rod knuckles. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clipped onto the body to signal extend and retract positions.
