The AirTAC Airtac ACEJ32~40 Adjustable Cushion Compact Cylinder ACEJ32X100-50 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 ACEJ32X100-50 is a double acting AirTAC compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, with a 32 mm bore and a 100 mm stroke that an external stop screw can trim anywhere in a 50 mm window, giving a usable extend range of 50-100 mm. At 0.5 MPa it pushes with 402.1 N and pulls with 345.6 N, and the hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome plated 12 mm rod stands up to daily jig duty. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into guards and fixtures a full-length body cannot.
Plan your tooling around roughly 241 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which is about 60% of the rated push, and expect about 20 kg of vertical lift capability with a 2:1 margin. The fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock, speed runs 30-500 mm/s, and the female M8x1.25 rod thread plus FA flange or LB foot mounting bolts straight onto standard ISO 21287 fixtures. Note that the adjuster 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.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 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 CNC milling fixture, the stop screw lets a technician dial the clamp stroke between 50 and 100 mm for different part heights, using about 241 N of usable clamping force at 0.5 MPa.
Mounted beside a packaging conveyor where length is tight, the compact body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder while pushing cartons off-line at 30-500 mm/s.
Pressing bushings into housings on an assembly bench, the 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa (563 N at 0.7 MPa) handles light interference fits, with the TPU bumper softening each bottom-out.
Size up or down by force: the 25 mm bore delivers 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa while the 40 mm bore reaches 628.3 N, so the 32 mm at 402.1 N sits mid-range for clamping and lifting tasks. If the 50-100 mm adjustable range is wider than you need, a smaller -20 or -30 window trims cost; if you need position feedback, order the -S variant so CMSE / DMSE switches can be fitted, because this non-S model has no magnet. FA flange and LB foot brackets mount directly on the ISO 21287 face.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 402.1 N and pulls 345.6 N; at 0.7 MPa push is 563 N and pull 483.8 N; theoretical maximum is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It is double acting with a 100 mm stroke adjustable down to 50 mm via the external stop screw, air supply 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 a 1/8" PT port on the 32 mm bore.
An external stop screw on the head shortens the extend stroke by up to 50 mm, so the working range is 50-100 mm; it is a mechanical end stop, not a mid-stroke lock, so the rod still drifts if air is lost. This base model has no magnet, so no switch can be read; order the -S code to enable CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches in the body's magnet slots.
