The AirTAC Airtac ACEJ32~40 Adjustable Cushion Compact Cylinder ACEJ40X70-30 is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 70mm 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 ACEJ40X70-30 is a double acting AirTAC compact cylinder built to ISO 21287: a 40 mm bore drives a 12 mm hard-chrome S45C rod through a 70 mm stroke, with an external stop screw that trims the extend stroke by up to 30 mm on site, giving a usable range of 40-70 mm. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 628.3 N and pulls 571.8 N; at 0.7 MPa those rise to 879.6 N and 800.5 N. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into jigs and guarding where a full-length body will not fit.
Plan on roughly 377 N (about 38 kgf) of real work at 0.5 MPa instead of the full rating, and for vertical lifts that means it lifts about 32 kg with a 2:1 margin. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries magnet slots, but this unit has no magnet fitted - order the optional -S code to enable CMSE / DMSE switches. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and fixed TPU bumpers absorb end-of-stroke shock at both ends.

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 in machining fixtures, and the 40-70 mm trim range lets one cylinder serve pallets of different part heights.
A 70 mm stroke with a 30 mm adjustment window tracks carton width changes on a packaging conveyor, while the short ISO 21287 body fits under low guard rails.
About 32 kg of vertical lift capacity with a 2:1 margin seats bearings or bushings into housings on an assembly bench, with the TPU bumper softening each bottom-out.
At 628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa, the 40 mm bore sits between the 32 mm (402.1 N) and the 50 mm (981.7 N); step down for lighter clamping, up if your fixture needs over 600 N of working force. The -30 window suits stations where the part position varies and you want to dial the extend stroke down from 70 mm without swapping cylinders. Note the stop screw is a mechanical end stop, not a mid-stroke lock - the rod will drift if air is lost. Bolt on FA flange or LB foot brackets, choose the female M8x1.25 rod thread as coded here, and add -S to the order code if CMSE / DMSE position sensing is needed.
Quick checklist
This 40 mm bore model pushes 628.3 N and pulls 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa it reaches 879.6 N push and 800.5 N pull, with a theoretical maximum of 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The extend stroke is adjustable from 40 to 70 mm via the external stop screw (the -30 window). It runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), temperature -20 to +70 C, speed 30-500 mm/s, with a 1/8" PT port and female M8x1.25 rod thread.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and FA flange, LB foot and FTC brackets plus I/Y rod knuckles bolt straight to the standard face. Position sensing requires the optional -S magnet: this model as coded has no magnet, so no CMSE or DMSE switch can be read until you order the -S version. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy; it does not hold or brake a load.
