The AirTAC Airtac ACEJ32~40 Adjustable Cushion Compact Cylinder ACEJ32X100-20SB is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 100mm stroke, 1/8" 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 ACEJ32X100-20SB pairs a 32 mm bore with a 100 mm stroke that an external stop screw can trim by up to 20 mm on site, giving a usable extend range of 80-100 mm. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 402.1 N and pulls 345.6 N; at 0.7 MPa those rise to 563 N and 483.8 N, with a theoretical ceiling of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The male rod thread (B code) and PT ports suit direct tooling attachment.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight guards and fixtures. Because the -S magnet is fitted, CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be mounted anywhere along the body slots. For sizing, plan on roughly 241 N of real work at 0.5 MPa (about 0.6 of the push figure), which lifts about 20 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock, 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.

| 0.7 MPa | 563 N | 484 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 82 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.
On a CNC jig the stop screw lets machinists dial the 100 mm extend stroke down to 80 mm for shorter part stacks, with 402.1 N of clamp force at 0.5 MPa.
The compact body fits under low conveyor guards where a full-length profile cylinder cannot, pushing cartons with about 241 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa.
With the fitted -S magnet, CMSE / DMSE switches confirm extend and retract on a small-parts ejection station, while the male rod thread drives the ejector pin directly.
At this force class the 32 mm bore delivers 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa; step down to a 25 mm bore (245.4 N) for lighter clamping or up to a 40 mm bore (628.3 N) when the load grows. Remember the stop screw is a mechanical end stop for the extend stroke, not a mid-stroke lock, so the piston still drifts if air is lost. FA flange or LB foot mountings bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the fitted -S magnet lets CMSE / DMSE switches report end positions.
Quick checklist
Push is 402.1 N and pull is 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa push reaches 563 N and pull 483.8 N, with a theoretical maximum of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The -20 code sets a 20 mm adjustment window: an external stop screw shortens the 100 mm extend stroke by up to 20 mm, so the working range is 80-100 mm. It trims the stroke only; it never lengthens it past 100 mm.
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 its face. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be slid into the body slots for end-position sensing. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy; it is not a load-holding brake.
