The AirTAC Airtac ACEJ12 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACEJ20X75-50 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 ACEJ20X75-50 is a double acting ISO 21287 compact cylinder with an adjustable extend stroke: an external stop screw trims the 75 mm stroke by up to 50 mm on site, giving a usable range of 25-75 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, with a theoretical maximum of 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and a fixed TPU bumper sits at both ends.
The short ISO 21287 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. 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 corresponds to lifting about 9 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries an S45C hard-chrome rod, and this version has a female M6x1.0 rod thread with a 1/8-class M5x0.8 port.

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 25-75 mm adjustable window lets a line engineer dial the gate opening to match carton sizes without swapping cylinders, with 157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa enough for lightweight diverters.
A 20 mm bore with 219.9 N push at 0.7 MPa nudges finished clips or bushings off the mold face, and the short body fits the narrow space between tie bars.
About 94 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa presses dowels into aluminum housings on assembly benches, with the 50 mm trim window matching different pin depths.
Size the load against the numbers: 157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa suits light clamping and small part transfer; if your load needs more, step up to the 25 mm bore (245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa), and if it needs less, the 16 mm bore (100.5 N push) keeps the envelope smaller. The 75 mm stroke is within the 100 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it is a standard build. Remember the stop screw is a mechanical end stop for the extend stroke, not a mid-stroke lock: on air loss the piston still drifts, so add a separate holding valve if the load must stay put. Mounting is via the ISO 21287 face with FA flange or LB foot options plus I/Y rod knuckles, and if you later need position sensing, order the -S variant with the optional magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches - this model has no magnet fitted.
Quick checklist
Push is 157.1 N and pull 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa push is 219.9 N and pull 164.9 N; theoretical maximum is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It is double acting with an adjustable extend stroke: the -50 stop screw trims the 75 mm stroke by up to 50 mm, so the working range is 25-75 mm. 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, air filtered to 40 um, port M5x0.8, female M6x1.0 rod thread, and a fixed TPU bumper at both ends.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits shallow fixtures and guarded spaces. Sensing is not fitted on this model: the magnet is the optional -S code, so to run CMSE or DMSE switches you would order ACEJ20X75-50S instead. Mounting brackets (FA flange, LB foot, FTC) and I/Y rod knuckles bolt to the standard ISO 21287 face.
