The AirTAC Airtac ACEJ32~40 Adjustable Cushion Compact Cylinder ACEJ32X100-30 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.
The ACEJ32X100-30 is a double acting ISO 21287 compact cylinder with an adjustable extend stroke: an external stop screw trims the 100 mm stroke by up to 30 mm on site, giving a usable range of 70-100 mm without swapping the cylinder. At 0.5 MPa the 32 mm bore delivers 402.1 N push and 345.6 N pull; at 0.7 MPa that rises to 563 N push, with a theoretical maximum of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs and guarding where a full-length body will not fit.
Plan on roughly 240 N of real work at 0.5 MPa (about 60% of the push rating), which corresponds to lifting about 24 kg vertically, or about 12 kg with a 2:1 margin. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a roller-burnished bore, the S45C rod is hard-chrome plated, and fixed TPU bumpers absorb end-of-stroke energy at both ends. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s across 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) of clean, 40 um filtered air. Note that the stop screw is a mechanical end stop only: on air loss the piston still drifts, so it is not a load-holding brake.

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.

|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 402 N | 346 N |
| 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 machining-centre jig, the stop screw lets a technician dial the clamp stroke anywhere from 70 to 100 mm to match different part heights without changing cylinders.
A carton pusher on a food packaging line uses the 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa to sideload boxes, with the 30 mm window absorbing product-size changes.
A light press-fit station for bushings into housings draws on the 563 N push available at 0.7 MPa, with the short ISO 21287 body fitting inside the press frame.
At 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa this 32 mm bore suits clamping and positioning loads in the 20-25 kg class; step down to the 25 mm bore (245.4 N push) for lighter fixtures, or up to the 40 mm bore (628.3 N push) when the load grows. The -30 window means your working stroke must sit between 70 and 100 mm, and the adjuster only shortens the extend stroke, never lengthens it. FA flange and LB foot mountings bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and I/Y rod knuckles fit the M8x1.25 female rod thread. If you need position feedback, order the -S variant so CMSE / DMSE switches can ride the body magnet slots; this unit has no magnet fitted.
Quick checklist
Push is 402.1 N and pull 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 bore is 32 mm with a 12 mm rod, the port is 1/8" PT, the rod end is female M8x1.25, and the extend stroke is adjustable from 70 to 100 mm via the -30 stop screw. 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 200 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 mountings bolt straight to its face. This model has no magnet, so no switch can be mounted; order the -S code to enable CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches in the body slots. The fixed TPU bumpers at both ends absorb end-of-stroke energy, and the stop screw is an end stop only, not a mid-stroke lock.
