The AirTAC Airtac ACEJ12 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACEJ20X75-20B is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø20mm 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 ISO 21287 compact cylinder with an adjustable extend stroke, the ACEJ20X75-20B pairs a 20 mm bore with a 75 mm stroke and a male-threaded rod end (the B code). At 0.5 MPa it pushes 157.1 N and pulls 117.8 N, rising to 219.9 N push at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. An external stop screw trims the extend stroke on site anywhere in the ordered 20 mm window, so the usable extend range is 55-75 mm without changing the valve or plumbing.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into slim fixtures, guarding and gantry axes. 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. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries an S45C hard-chrome rod, fixed TPU bumpers absorb end-of-stroke energy, and speed spans 30-500 mm/s at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).

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 | 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.

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.
The 55-75 mm adjustable extend range lets a machinist dial in clamp travel per fixture, with 157.1 N at 0.5 MPa enough to hold small aluminium parts during light milling.
A 75 mm stroke nudges cartons or blisters off a conveyor lane, and the 20 mm trim window absorbs lane-width changes without re-piping the M5x0.8 ports.
About 8 kg of vertical lift capacity with margin suits gentle sample pressing or vial capping stations where the compact body must fit inside a benchtop enclosure.
Size up if 157.1 N at 0.5 MPa is marginal: the 25 mm bore delivers 245.4 N push and 206.2 N pull at the same pressure. Size down to the 16 mm bore (100.5 N push) only for light pick-and-place. Note that the stop screw is a mechanical end stop for the extend stroke, not a mid-stroke lock, so the rod can still drift if air is lost. This unit has no magnet; if you need CMSE or DMSE switch position feedback, order the -S variant instead. FA flange, LB foot and I/Y rod knuckles bolt to the standard ISO 21287 face.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 157.1 N and pulls 117.8 N; at 0.7 MPa, 219.9 N push and 164.9 N pull; theoretical maximum is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The -20 code sets a 20 mm adjustment window: an external stop screw shortens the 75 mm extend stroke on site, giving a usable range of 55-75 mm. It runs double acting on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, with fixed TPU bumpers at both ends.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits tight guards and gantries. This model has no magnet fitted; the optional -S code adds one so CMSE or DMSE switches can sense position. FA flange, LB foot and I/Y rod knuckles mount on the standard face, and the male rod thread (B code) takes standard tooling plates.
