The AirTAC Airtac ACEJ12 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACEJ20X75-30SB 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.
The ACEJ20X75-30SB is a double acting AirTAC compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, with a 20 mm bore, 75 mm stroke and a male rod thread (B code). Its short hard-anodized aluminium 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 cannot. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 157.1 N and pulls 117.8 N; at 0.7 MPa those rise to 219.9 N and 164.9 N, with a theoretical 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The -30 code adds a 30 mm adjustment window: an external stop screw trims the extend stroke anywhere between 45 and 75 mm on site, so one cylinder covers several fixture positions. As a rule of thumb, plan on roughly 94 N (about 0.6 of the push force) of real work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts around 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The magnet fitted with the -S code accepts CMSE / DMSE switches, the S45C hard-chrome rod runs at 30-500 mm/s, and fixed TPU bumpers absorb end-of-stroke energy. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), -20 to +70 C, on air filtered to 40 um.

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.

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.
On a small assembly press fixture, the stop screw sets the extend stroke anywhere from 45 to 75 mm to match different part heights without swapping cylinders.
The short ISO 21287 body fits inside a machining jig where an ISO 15552 profile cylinder would not, delivering 157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa to hold aluminium brackets.
With the fitted -S magnet, CMSE or DMSE switches confirm rod position on a pick-and-place slide, while the male rod thread (B) mates directly to the tooling stud.
At 157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa, this 20 mm bore suits light clamping and positioning. Step down to the 16 mm bore (100.5 N push) for smaller loads, or up to the 25 mm bore (245.4 N push) when you need more margin without changing the M5x0.8 port. Remember the stop screw is a mechanical end stop only: on air loss the rod still drifts, so it is not a mid-stroke lock. FA flange or LB foot mountings bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the fitted -S magnet lets CMSE / DMSE switches report position.
Quick checklist
This 20 mm bore model pushes 157.1 N and pulls 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa, and 219.9 N / 164.9 N at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It is double acting with an adjustable extend stroke: the -30 stop screw trims the 75 mm stroke down to 45 mm. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C, port M5x0.8, rod 10 mm with male thread.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits shallow pockets and guarded gantries. FA flange and LB foot mountings bolt straight to the standard face, and I or Y rod knuckles are available. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy but never locks or holds a load. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clipped onto the body for end-of-stroke signalling.
