The AirTAC Airtac ACEJ32~40 Adjustable Cushion Compact Cylinder ACEJ40X80-30 is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 80mm 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 ACEJ40X80-30 is a double acting ISO 21287 compact cylinder with an adjustable extend stroke: an external stop screw trims the 80 mm stroke by up to 30 mm on site, giving a usable range of 50-80 mm without changing the cylinder. At the 40 mm bore it delivers 628.3 N push and 571.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, rising to 879.6 N push at 0.7 MPa, so it covers mid-duty clamping and pressing work in a body that saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder.
For sizing the job, plan on roughly 377 N of real work at 0.5 MPa (about 0.6 of the push figure), which is a vertical lift of about 32 kg at full push force or roughly 16 kg with a 2:1 margin. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a hard-chrome plated S45C rod with a female M8x1.25 thread, fixed TPU bumpers absorb end-of-stroke energy at both ends, and magnet slots accept CMSE / DMSE switches when the optional -S magnet is ordered - this model has no magnet fitted.

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 | 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.

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.
Clamps aluminum housings in a 3-jaw fixture where the 628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa holds the part and the 50-80 mm adjustable range fits varying fixture depths without reordering cylinders.
Presses bearings into pump housings on an automated line; the 879.6 N push at 0.7 MPa handles the insertion force while the short ISO 21287 body slots under a low gantry frame.
Extends to stop cartons at a checkweigher; the stop screw trims the extend stroke to clear passing product, and the fixed TPU bumper quiets each end-of-stroke contact at 30-500 mm/s speeds.
Compare by force: the 32 mm bore pushes 402.1 N at 0.5 MPa while this 40 mm bore gives 628.3 N, and the next step up, the 50 mm bore, reaches 981.7 N - so pick the 40 mm when your load sits between those bands. The 80 mm stroke is well inside the 200 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, and the -30 window lets you dial the extend stroke anywhere from 50 to 80 mm to match fixture depth. Remember the stop screw is a mechanical end stop, not a mid-stroke lock: on air loss the piston still drifts, so add a separate holding valve for suspended loads. FA flange or LB foot mounts bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and order the -S code if CMSE / DMSE position sensing is needed.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 628.3 N and pulls 571.8 N; at 0.7 MPa it pushes 879.6 N and pulls 800.5 N; theoretical maximum is 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 40 mm bore uses a 12 mm rod with a female M8x1.25 thread and 1/8" ports, runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, operates from -20 to +70 C at 30-500 mm/s, and the -30 code gives a 30 mm adjustment window on the 80 mm extend stroke (usable 50-80 mm).
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits tight jigs, guards and gantries. Position sensing is possible only with the optional -S magnet code, which enables CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches in the body slots; this model, ordered without -S, has no magnet and no sensor can be mounted. FA flange and LB foot mounts bolt straight to the standard ISO 21287 face.
