The AirTAC Airtac ACEJ32~40 Adjustable Cushion Compact Cylinder ACEJ40X50-10 is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 50mm 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 ACEJ40X50-10 is a double acting ISO 21287 compact cylinder with an adjustable extend stroke: an external stop screw trims the 50 mm stroke by up to 10 mm on site, giving a usable range of 40-50 mm without changing the cylinder. At 0.5 MPa the 40 mm bore delivers 628.3 N push and 571.8 N pull, rising to 879.6 N at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight guarding and fixture pockets. As a planning figure, treat roughly 377 N (about 60% of the push rating) as the practical work force, which corresponds to lifting about 32 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a 12 mm S45C hard-chrome rod with a female M8x1.25 thread, 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.

| 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.

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 housings on machining pallets, and the 10 mm stop window lets the setter dial the clamp position after the fixture is bolted down.
With about 377 N of practical work force, the cylinder presses bushings into pump housings on an assembly bench, retracting at up to 500 mm/s to keep cycle time short.
The compact body fits inside conveyor guarding where a full-length profile cylinder cannot, stopping cartons on a 40-50 mm extend stroke between 1/8" ports.
At 628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa this 40 mm bore sits between the 32 mm bore (402.1 N) and the 50 mm bore (981.7 N), so pick it for mid-range clamping and lifting where the smaller bore is marginal and the 50 mm is oversized. The 10 mm window suits fixtures where the exact stop position is finalized after installation. Remember the stop screw only shortens the extend stroke and is a mechanical end stop, not a mid-stroke lock: on air loss the piston still drifts. FA flange or LB foot mounting bolts to the ISO 21287 face, and if position feedback is needed later, order the -S variant so CMSE / DMSE switches can be used; this model 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 is 879.6 N and pull 800.5 N, with a theoretical maximum of 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The -10 code is a 10 mm adjustment window: a stop screw on the front cover shortens the 50 mm extend stroke by up to 10 mm, so the working range is 40-50 mm. It runs on air filtered to 40 um at 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.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end to absorb end-of-stroke impact. FA flange and LB foot mounts bolt straight to the standard face, and the rod end is a female M8x1.25 thread with 1/8" PT ports. Position sensing requires the optional -S magnet code; this model has no magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches cannot be fitted unless you order the -S variant.
