The AirTAC Airtac ACEJ32~40 Adjustable Cushion Compact Cylinder ACEJ32X100-40S 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 ACEJ32X100-40S 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 40 mm on site, giving a usable range of 60-100 mm without changing the cylinder. At 0.5 MPa the 32 mm bore delivers 402.1 N push and 345.6 N pull, rising to 563 N push at 0.7 MPa. In practice, plan on roughly 240 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, and for vertical lifts expect about 20 kg with a 2:1 margin (the theoretical lift is about 41 kg).
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs, guards and gantries. A hard-anodized aluminium body with a hard-chrome plated S45C rod resists wear, fixed TPU bumpers absorb end-of-stroke energy, and the fitted -S magnet accepts CMSE / DMSE switches for end-position sensing. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) 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.

| 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.
The 60-100 mm trim range lets one cylinder serve several fixture heights, and 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa secures aluminium or small steel parts between machining cycles.
A 100 mm stroke diverts cartons or trays at line speed up to 500 mm/s, while the fitted magnet and a DMSE switch confirm the gate is fully retracted before product passes.
About 240 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa gives gentle, repeatable pressing of vials or test coupons, and the compact body fits inside a benchtop guard where a full-length profile cylinder would not.
Check the load both ways before committing: the smaller 25 mm bore pushes only 245.4 N at 0.5 MPa, while the larger 40 mm bore reaches 628.3 N, so the 32 mm class at 402.1 N sits between them for medium clamping and positioning. 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 standard ISO 21287 face, and this model already carries the -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 402.1 N and pulls 345.6 N; at 0.7 MPa push rises to 563 N (pull 483.8 N). Theoretical maximum is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The ordered stroke is 100 mm with a 40 mm adjustment window, so the extend stroke can be trimmed anywhere from 60 to 100 mm via the external stop screw. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s and operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder - about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder - with a hard-anodized aluminium body, hard-chrome plated S45C rod and fixed TPU bumpers at both ends. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clipped into the body slots to signal extend and retract positions. FA flange and LB foot mountings bolt straight to the standard face.
