The AirTAC Airtac ACEJ32~40 Adjustable Cushion Compact Cylinder ACEJ32X160-75 is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 160mm 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 ACEJ32X160-75 is a double acting AirTAC compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, with a 32 mm bore and a 160 mm stroke that an external stop screw can trim anywhere in a 75 mm window, giving a usable extend range of 85-160 mm. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 402.1 N and pulls 345.6 N; at 0.7 MPa those figures rise to 563 N and 483.8 N. As a rule of thumb, plan for roughly 240 N of real work at 0.5 MPa (about 0.6 of the push rating), which corresponds to lifting around 12 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.
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 carries an S45C hard-chrome-plated 12 mm rod, fixed TPU bumpers absorb end-of-stroke energy, and FA flange or LB foot mounts bolt straight to the standard face. This version has no magnet; order the optional -S code to enable CMSE / DMSE switches.

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.
The 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa ejects stamped offcuts from a press die, and the 75 mm window lets a toolmaker trim the 160 mm stroke to the die depth without shims.
On a carton conveyor, the compact body fits under guarding where a full-length profile cylinder will not, and the adjustable stop sets the divert position per SKU.
About 240 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa clamps brackets in an automotive welding fixture, with FA flange mounting and 30-500 mm/s speed to match the cycle.
Size the bore both ways: a 25 mm bore gives 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa for lighter clamping, while a 40 mm bore reaches 628.3 N when the load grows. The stop screw is a mechanical end stop for the extend stroke only - it does not lock the piston mid-stroke, and on air loss the rod still drifts, so do not rely on it to hold a load. Choose the female M8x1.25 rod thread shown here or add B for male thread, pick FA flange or LB foot mounting, and specify the optional -S magnet if CMSE / DMSE position sensing is planned.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 402.1 N and pulls 345.6 N; at 0.7 MPa, 563 N push and 483.8 N pull; theoretical maximum is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, speed 30-500 mm/s, air filtered to 40 um, and -20 to +70 C temperature range. The stop screw trims the extend stroke within the ordered 75 mm window, so the usable range is 85-160 mm.
An external stop screw shortens the extend stroke on site by up to 75 mm from the 160 mm ordered stroke; it cannot lengthen it past 160 mm, and it is an end stop only - it never holds or brakes a load. Position sensing requires the optional -S magnet code; this model has no magnet fitted, so CMSE / DMSE switches can only be used on an -S version. The 1/8" port, female M8x1.25 rod thread and FA/LB mounting keep it drop-in compatible with standard fixtures.
