The AirTAC Airtac ACEJ32~40 Adjustable Cushion Compact Cylinder ACEJ32X40-40 is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 40mm 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.
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACEJ32X40-40 pairs a 32 mm bore with a 40 mm stroke that an external stop screw trims anywhere from 0 to 40 mm on site. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 402.1 N and pulls 345.6 N, enough for clamping, ejecting and indexing in tight fixtures. The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-500 mm/s.
The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into guarded gantries and cramped jig plates. Plan on roughly 241 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 12 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Fixed TPU bumpers absorb end-of-stroke shock at both ends, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches if position sensing is added later.

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 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa clamps aluminum housings in a dedicated jig, and the stop screw lets the setter dial the clamp travel anywhere in the 0-40 mm window without changing cylinders.
A 40 mm kick clears finished connectors off a pick nest in under a second at 500 mm/s, and the compact body fits where a full-length profile cylinder cannot.
The 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa retracts a sorting gate reliably, with the 1/8" port plumbed straight into the machine's valve manifold.
At 402.1 N push (0.5 MPa) this 32 mm bore suits loads up to about 241 N in practice; step down to a 25 mm bore (245.4 N push) only if the pull force of 206.2 N is still enough, or up to a 40 mm bore (628.3 N push) for heavier clamps. The stop screw shortens the extend stroke only - it is a mechanical end stop, not a mid-stroke lock, so the rod still drifts if air is lost. FA flange or LB foot mounts bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the female M8x1.25 rod thread takes standard rod knuckles (I or Y). Order the -S code if CMSE / DMSE sensing is planned.
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 and pull to 483.8 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 82 kgf. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, and speed is 30-500 mm/s. A practical working figure is about 241 N of push, roughly 12 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin.
The -40 code is a 40 mm adjustment window: an external stop screw shortens the 40 mm extend stroke to any length down to 0, set with a wrench in minutes. Fixed TPU bumpers at both ends absorb end-of-stroke impact. The cylinder ships without a magnet; order the optional -S code to enable CMSE / DMSE switches. FA flange and LB foot mounts fit the standard ISO 21287 face.
