The AirTAC Airtac ACEJ32~40 Adjustable Cushion Compact Cylinder ACEJ40X90-40 is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 90mm 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 ACEJ40X90-40 is a double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, with a 40 mm bore and a 90 mm stroke that an external stop screw can trim on site by up to 40 mm, giving a usable extend range of 50-90 mm. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 628.3 N and pulls 571.8 N, rising to 879.6 N on the extend stroke at 0.7 MPa. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs, guarding and gantries where a full-length body will not fit.
Plan on roughly 377 N of real work at 0.5 MPa rather than the full 628.3 N rating, and expect about 32 kg of vertical lift capability with a 2:1 margin (the theoretical figure is 64 kg). The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a hard-chrome plated S45C rod with a female M8x1.25 thread, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. If you need position feedback, order the optional -S magnet so CMSE or DMSE switches can be mounted; this version 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.
| 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.
A 377 N usable push at 0.5 MPa seats small bushings and bearings in gearbox housings, with the 50-90 mm trim range matching different housing depths on one fixture.
The adjustable extend stroke lets one cylinder serve several pallet positions on a machining centre table, and the short body tucks under the table guard where a longer profile cylinder cannot.
About 32 kg of vertical lift capability with a 2:1 margin holds carton stacks flat during taping, with the fixed TPU bumper softening each downstroke at 30-500 mm/s.
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 up if your tooling mass or friction load approaches 600 N, step down for lighter clamping. Choose the -40 window only if your setpoints genuinely spread across 50-90 mm; a fixed-stroke ACE covers a single known position. Remember the stop screw is a mechanical end stop for the extend stroke only - on air loss the piston still drifts, so it is not a mid-stroke lock. FA flange or LB foot mounts plus I/Y rod knuckles bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switch sensing.
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; theoretical maximum is 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The -40 code is a 40 mm adjustment window: an external stop screw shortens the 90 mm extend stroke by up to 40 mm, so the working range is 50-90 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, with a 1/8" 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 a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. FA flange, LB foot and FTC brackets plus I and Y rod knuckles bolt straight to the standard face. Position sensing requires the optional -S magnet code, which allows CMSE or DMSE switches; without -S no magnet is fitted and no switch can be read. If the ACEJ40X90-40 does not suit the job, the fixed-stroke ACE, the double-rod ACED or the non-rotating twin-guide TACE are related alternatives.
