The AirTAC Airtac ACEJ12 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACEJ20X75-75 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 ACEJ20X75-75 pairs a 20 mm bore with a 75 mm stroke and an external stop screw that trims the extend stroke anywhere in the 0-75 mm window on site. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 157.1 N and pulls 117.8 N, rising to 219.9 N at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Because the short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, it slots into tight jigs, guards and gantry frames where a full-length body simply will not fit.
For real-world sizing, plan on roughly 94 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa (about 60% of the rating), which means this unit lifts about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin - enough for small clamps, part presenters and light pick-and-place heads. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a 10 mm S45C hard-chrome rod with a female M6x1.0 thread, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock. Note that no magnet is fitted on this version; order the -S code if you later need CMSE / DMSE switch position sensing.

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.
Clamping brackets or bearing caps on an electronics assembly fixture, where the 0-75 mm trim lets one cylinder serve several product heights and 94 N of working force seats light press parts.
Raising connectors or small housings from a feeder chute to a conveyor, lifting about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin and the short body fitting under a low machine guard.
Pushing small parts off a indexing table or diverting a light gate on a packaging line, with the stop screw set so the extend stroke matches each station pitch without changing hardware.
Check the load both ways before committing: one bore down, the ACEJ16 delivers 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the ACEJ25 steps up to 245.4 N - so if your clamp or lifter needs more than about 94 N of working force, move to the 25 mm bore. Remember the stop screw is a mechanical end stop for the extend stroke, not a mid-stroke lock, so the rod will still drift if air is lost; add a separate valve or lock for load holding. FA flange and LB foot mountings bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches if position feedback is added later.
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; the theoretical maximum is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The -75 code is a 75 mm adjustment window: an external stop screw shortens the 75 mm extend stroke by up to 75 mm, giving a usable range of 0-75 mm. It runs double acting on air filtered to 40 um at 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, with 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. FA flange and LB foot mountings plus I/Y rod knuckles bolt to the standard face. This version has no magnet fitted, so no sensor can be read from it; order the -S variant to enable CMSE or DMSE reed / solid-state switches. The rod end is female M6x1.0 and the port is M5x0.8.
