The AirTAC Airtac ACEJ125 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACEJ125X120-10S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 120mm stroke, 1/4" 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 ACEJ125X120-10S is a double acting ISO 21287 compact cylinder with an adjustable extend stroke: an external stop screw trims the 120 mm stroke by up to 10 mm on site, giving a usable range of 110-120 mm. At 125 mm bore it pushes 6135.9 N and pulls 5890.5 N at 0.5 MPa, rising to 8590.3 N at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical peak of 1251.4 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so this force class fits presses and gantries where a full-length cylinder will not.
Plan real work at roughly 3680 N (about 375 kgf) of push at 0.5 MPa rather than the full rating, which corresponds to lifting about 313 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a 25 mm S45C hard-chrome rod with a female M16x2.0 thread, and the -S magnet this model carries lets CMSE / DMSE switches report end positions. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, and speed spans 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.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |

| 0.5 MPa | 6136 N | 5890 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 8590 N | 8247 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 1251 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.
Delivers 6135.9 N at 0.5 MPa for riveting, staking and crimping jigs on automotive lines, with the 10 mm window letting setup teams fine-trim the 120 mm stroke per die.
Clamps heavy pallets or weld fixtures in logistics and fabrication cells; the compact body fits inside guarding where an ISO 15552 profile cylinder would be about twice as long.
Raises parts of about 313 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin on the 25 mm hard-chrome rod; CMSE / DMSE switches on the -S magnet confirm top and bottom positions.
At this bore size nothing smaller is listed in the ACEJ range, so size up only if 6135.9 N at 0.5 MPa is marginal for the job; otherwise stay at 125 mm and trim the stroke with the 10 mm window instead of over-sizing. 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 for suspended loads.
FA flange or LB foot mounting bolts to the ISO 21287 face, and I/Y rod knuckles suit pivoting tooling. The -S magnet is already fitted on this model, so CMSE / DMSE switches can be added without a special order.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 6135.9 N and pulls 5890.5 N; at 0.7 MPa push is 8590.3 N and pull 8246.7 N, with a theoretical maximum of 1251.4 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The -10 code is a 10 mm adjustment window: an external stop screw shortens the 120 mm extend stroke by up to 10 mm, so the working range is 110-120 mm. It cannot lengthen the stroke past 120 mm, and the stop is not a load-holding brake.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder, roughly 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a hard-anodized aluminium body, threaded aluminium covers and a fixed TPU bumper at both ends. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), filtered to 40 um, with a 1/4" port and a female M16x2.0 rod thread. FA flange and LB foot mounts plus I/Y rod knuckles bolt to the standard face, and because the -S magnet is fitted, CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clipped on for position feedback.
