The AirTAC Airtac ACEJ32~40 Adjustable Cushion Compact Cylinder ACEJ40X80-40S 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.
A double acting ISO 21287 compact cylinder, the ACEJ40X80-40S pairs a 40 mm bore with an 80 mm stroke that an external stop screw trims by up to 40 mm on site, giving a usable extend range of 40-80 mm. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 628.3 N and pulls 571.8 N, and the short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs and guarding where a full-length body will not fit.
For sizing real work, plan on roughly 377 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa (about 60% of the rating), which is the vertical-lift equivalent of about 32 kg with a 2:1 margin. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a 12 mm S45C hard-chrome rod with a female M8x1.25 thread, a fixed TPU bumper sits at each end, and because this model carries the optional -S magnet, CMSE / DMSE switches can be mounted directly in the body slots.

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.

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 aluminum or small steel workpieces in dedicated jigs, and the 40 mm window lets one cylinder model serve several fixture depths by trimming the extend stroke at the stop screw.
Mounted beside a conveyor, the compact body fits where an ISO 15552 profile cylinder would overhang, kicking off-cartons or trays within a 40-80 mm extend range at up to 500 mm/s.
With the -S magnet fitted, CMSE or DMSE switches confirm the trimmed end position of a safety gate or pallet stop, while the 571.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa retracts the latch reliably.
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); step down for lighter clamping, up if your load needs more than about 377 N of working force. The 40 mm window means you order the longest stroke you may ever need and trim it down on the machine - the stop screw shortens the extend stroke only, it never lengthens it past 80 mm. Remember the adjuster is a mechanical end stop, not a mid-stroke lock: on air loss the piston still drifts, so add a separate holding valve where load retention matters. FA flange and LB foot mountings bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the fitted -S magnet lets CMSE / DMSE switches report end positions without extra brackets.
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, with a theoretical maximum of 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 80 mm stroke is adjustable down by up to 40 mm (usable range 40-80 mm) via the external stop screw. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the air supply should be filtered to 40 um.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a hard-anodized aluminium body, threaded aluminium covers, a 12 mm hard-chrome plated S45C rod and a fixed TPU bumper at each end that only decelerates at stroke ends - it never locks or holds a load. The body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount in the body slots; FA flange and LB foot mountings bolt straight to the standard face.
