The AirTAC Airtac ACEJ32~40 Adjustable Cushion Compact Cylinder ACEJ40X80-50S 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 ACEJ40X80-50S is a double acting ISO 21287 compact cylinder with an adjustable extend stroke. Air drives the piston both ways, and an external stop screw trims the 80 mm stroke by up to 50 mm on site, giving a usable range of 30-80 mm. At 0.5 MPa this 40 mm bore delivers 628.3 N push and 571.8 N pull, rising to 879.6 N at 0.7 MPa. The hard-anodized aluminium body is about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight guarding and fixture frames.
This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clamped straight onto the body slots for end-of-travel signalling. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock, and the 12 mm hard-chrome-plated S45C rod runs in a roller-burnished, hard-anodized bore for long seal life. As a rule of thumb, plan on roughly 377 N (about 38 kg) of real work at 0.5 MPa rather than the full 628.3 N rating.

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 aluminium or steel workpieces in milling fixtures, while the 30-80 mm adjustable range lets one cylinder serve several fixture heights without re-plumbing.
At 30-500 mm/s the rod ejects cartons or trays from a conveyor lane, and the fitted -S magnet with a DMSE switch confirms retract before the next cycle starts.
The short ISO 21287 body fits inside compact bench-top enclosures, and the stop screw sets an exact 30-80 mm extend stroke for repeatable sample compression.
Size the load first: 628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa suits clamping and pressing in the 35-40 kg class; step down to the 32 mm bore (402.1 N) for lighter jigs or up to the 50 mm bore (981.7 N) for heavier fixtures. Remember the stop screw only shortens the extend stroke within the 50 mm window and is not a mid-stroke lock - on air loss the piston still drifts, so add a separate holding valve where a load must stay put. FA flange and LB foot mountings bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the fitted -S magnet pairs with CMSE / DMSE switches. Operating window is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with speeds of 30-500 mm/s.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 628.3 N and pulls 571.8 N; at 0.7 MPa those figures rise to 879.6 N and 800.5 N, with a theoretical maximum of 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The -50 code means an external stop screw can shorten the 80 mm extend stroke by up to 50 mm, giving a working range of 30-80 mm. The cylinder is double acting, runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), and moves at 30-500 mm/s.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and FA flange or LB foot brackets bolt directly to its standard face. This model includes the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount in the body slots for end-of-stroke detection. Each end carries a fixed TPU bumper that absorbs impact only - it never holds or brakes a load.
