The AirTAC Airtac ACEJ32~40 Adjustable Cushion Compact Cylinder ACEJ32X30-30 is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 30mm 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 ACEJ32X30-30 is a double acting ISO 21287 compact cylinder with an adjustable extend stroke: an external stop screw trims the 30 mm stroke anywhere within the ordered 30 mm window, so one unit covers a 0-30 mm working range. At 0.5 MPa the 32 mm bore delivers 402.1 N on extend and 345.6 N on retract, rising to 563 N and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa. Its short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which makes it a natural fit for tight jigs, guarding and gantry frames.
In practice, plan on roughly 240 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa (about 60% of the rated force), which corresponds to lifting around 12 kg vertically with a sensible 2:1 margin. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a hard-chromed S45C rod with a female M8x1.25 thread, a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock, and FA flange or LB foot mounts bolt straight onto the ISO 21287 face. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s across 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).

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.
The 0-30 mm trimmed stroke clamps varying pallet heights without re-plumbing, and 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa holds light machining fixtures securely.
A packaging line pressing caps or inserts through a short 30 mm travel benefits from the compact body, which needs about half the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder.
The external stop screw lets a technician dial the extend stroke anywhere in the 30 mm window on site, ideal for bench-top assembly and marking fixtures.
At 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa, this 32 mm bore sits between the 25 mm bore (245.4 N) and the 40 mm bore (628.3 N): step down if your load is under about 145 N of real work, step up to 40 mm above roughly 375 N. The 30 mm adjustment window suits stations where the exact stop position is tuned on the machine, not in the drawing. Remember the stop screw only shortens the extend stroke - it is a mechanical end stop, not a mid-stroke lock, so the rod can drift if air is lost. Order the -S variant if you later need CMSE or DMSE switches; this version has no magnet fitted. PT ports, female M8x1.25 rod thread.
Quick checklist
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 maximum of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The -30 code means a 30 mm adjustment window: an external stop screw shortens the 30 mm extend stroke by up to 30 mm, giving a usable 0-30 mm range. It runs double acting on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-500 mm/s, with a fixed TPU bumper at both ends.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight fixtures and guards. FA flange and LB foot mounts bolt to the standard face, and I or Y rod knuckles suit the M8x1.25 female rod thread. Position sensing requires the optional -S magnet version, which works with CMSE or DMSE switches; this model has no magnet fitted, so no sensor can be mounted on it as ordered.
