The AirTAC Airtac ACEJ12 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACEJ20X80-10 is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 80mm 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, the ACEJ20X80-10 pairs a 20 mm bore with an 80 mm stroke that an external stop screw trims down by up to 10 mm, giving a usable extend range of 70-80 mm. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 157.1 N and pulls 117.8 N, and the short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight fixtures and guarding where a full-length body cannot go.
For sizing the load, treat roughly 94 N (about 0.6 of the push force) as the practical working force at 0.5 MPa, which corresponds to lifting about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries an S45C hard-chrome plated rod, fixed TPU bumpers sit at both ends, and the optional -S magnet code enables CMSE / DMSE switch sensing; without -S no magnet is fitted.

| 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 70-80 mm adjustable extend range lets a mold setter fine-tune ejection travel on the bench, while 157.1 N at 0.5 MPa clears lightweight parts reliably.
Compact enough to mount between conveyor frames, the 20 mm bore pushes cartons or blisters off a belt at speeds of 30-500 mm/s.
About 8 kg of vertical lift capability with a 2:1 margin covers vial capping and light sample pressing in automated laboratory equipment.
At 157.1 N push (0.5 MPa) this 20 mm bore suits light clamping and transfer tasks; step down to a 16 mm bore (100.5 N) for smaller loads or up to a 25 mm bore (245.4 N) when more force is needed. The -10 window means you can dial the extend stroke anywhere between 70 and 80 mm on site, but the stop screw is an end stop only - on air loss the piston still drifts, so do not rely on it to hold a load. Female M6x1.0 rod thread, M5x0.8 ports, FA flange or LB foot mounting, and order the -S code if CMSE / DMSE position sensing is required.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 157.1 N and pulls 117.8 N; at 0.7 MPa push rises to 219.9 N and pull to 164.9 N, with a theoretical maximum of 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The -10 code is a 10 mm adjustment window: an external stop screw shortens the 80 mm extend stroke on site, so the working range is 70-80 mm. It runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-500 mm/s, with a female M6x1.0 rod thread and M5x0.8 ports.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and FA flange or LB foot brackets bolt straight to the standard face. Position sensing requires the optional -S magnet code, which allows CMSE or DMSE switches to be clipped onto the body; this model without the S code carries no magnet, so no switch will trigger. Fixed TPU bumpers at both ends absorb end-of-stroke impact.
