The AirTAC Airtac ACEJ12 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACEJ20X80-75SB 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.
The ACEJ20X80-75SB is a double acting ISO 21287 compact cylinder with an adjustable extend stroke: an external stop screw trims the 80 mm stroke by up to 75 mm on site, giving a usable range of 5-80 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. The B code gives a male rod thread on the 10 mm rod, and the S code means the magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMRE switches - sorry, CMSE or DMSE switches - can be clamped anywhere along the body slots.
Because the short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, this model slots into tight jigs, guarding and gantry frames where a full-length body will not reach. For sizing, treat roughly 0.6 of the push force - about 94 N, or 9.6 kg - as the practical working load at 0.5 MPa, and expect it to lift about 8 kg vertically once a 2:1 margin is applied. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, and the hard-anodized aluminium body with S45C hard-chrome rod stands up to continuous cycling at 30-500 mm/s.

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.

| 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 small aluminium brackets on a machining fixture where the final clamp point is set during setup - the stop screw trims the extend stroke anywhere in the 5-80 mm window without swapping cylinders.
Pushing cartons or blisters off a conveyor lane into a chute, where 157.1 N at 0.5 MPa is ample and the short body fits under the conveyor guard frame.
A probe or nest actuator on a gantry where the fitted magnet and CMSE / DMSE switches confirm extend and retract, and the male rod thread (B code) takes a custom probe tip directly.
At 157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa, the 20 mm bore sits between the 16 mm bore (100.5 N push) and the 25 mm bore (245.4 N push), so step up to 25 mm if your tooling mass grows or step down to 16 mm for lighter pick-and-place heads. The 75 mm adjustment window suits stations where the exact stop position is tuned during commissioning; remember the stop screw is an end stop only - on air loss the piston still drifts, so add a separate valve or lock if position must be held. FA flange and LB foot mountings bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the fitted -S magnet lets CMSE / DMSE switches report end positions from day one.
Quick checklist
Push is 157.1 N and pull 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa push rises to 219.9 N (pull 164.9 N), with a theoretical maximum of 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It is double acting with an adjustable extend stroke: the -75 stop screw trims the 80 mm stroke by up to 75 mm, so the usable range is 5-80 mm. Ports are M5x0.8 (fixed by the 20 mm bore), 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, and the maximum standard stroke for this bore is 100 mm.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits shallow guards, jigs and gantries. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy but never locks or brakes a load. FA flange and LB foot mountings bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face, and because this model carries the optional -S magnet, CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be slid into the body slots for end-position feedback.
