The AirTAC Airtac ACEJ32~40 Adjustable Cushion Compact Cylinder ACEJ40X160-75 is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø40mm 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.
A double acting ISO 21287 compact cylinder, the ACEJ40X160-75 pairs a 40 mm bore with a 160 mm stroke and a 75 mm adjustment window. An external stop screw trims the extend stroke on site anywhere from 85 to 160 mm, so one cylinder serves several fixture positions. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 628.3 N and pulls 571.8 N, enough for clamping, pressing and indexing tasks in the mid-force class.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which matters inside machine guards and sliding gantries. In practice, plan for roughly 377 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, and expect it to lift about 32 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries an S45C hard-chrome rod, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke impact.

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 | 628 N | 572 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 880 N | 800 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 128 kgf | |
Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.

|---|---|
| 40 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×160 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -75 | Adjustable stroke window (mm the extend stroke can be shortened on site). |
| S | Optional built-in magnet for CMSE / DMSE sensors (omit for no magnet). |
| B | Rod type: B = male thread; blank = female thread. |
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 628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa clamps aluminium and steel workpieces, and the 75 mm window lets one cylinder serve pallets of different heights.
A 160 mm stroke clears a conveyor lane, and trimming it down to 85 mm keeps the pusher clear of product guides.
About 32 kg of vertical lift capacity with margin secures heavy service doors, while the short body fits the vehicle's tight frame.
Size down to the ACEJ32 (402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa) when the load is lighter, or up to the ACEJ50 (981.7 N) when you need more force at the same compact length. The adjuster is a mechanical end stop for the extend stroke only, not a mid-stroke lock, so the rod can drift if air is lost. FA flange, LB foot and FTC brackets bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and I or Y rod knuckles suit swinging links. Add the -S code if you later want CMSE or DMSE switches; this version has no magnet fitted.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 628.3 N and pulls 571.8 N; at 0.7 MPa push rises to 879.6 N and pull to 800.5 N. The theoretical maximum is 128.1 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, and air filtered to 40 um.
An external stop screw shortens the 160 mm extend stroke by up to 75 mm, giving a usable range of 85-160 mm; it cannot lengthen the stroke past 160 mm. The fixed TPU bumpers at both ends absorb end-of-stroke impact. This model has no magnet, so no switch can be mounted; order the -S version to enable CMSE or DMSE switches. Mounting options include FA flange and LB foot, and the female rod thread is M8x1.25 with a 1/8" port.
