The AirTAC Airtac ACEJ50~63 Adjustable Compact Air Cylinder ACEJ63X40-30B is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 40mm 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 with an adjustable extend stroke, the ACEJ63X40-30B pairs a 63 mm bore with a 40 mm stroke and a male-threaded 16 mm rod. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 1558.6 N and pulls 1458.1 N, rising to 2182.1 N at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 317.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The external stop screw trims the extend stroke anywhere inside the ordered 30 mm window, giving a usable range of 10-40 mm without changing hardware.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into dense machine frames. Sized for real work, plan on about 935 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, which is roughly 79 kg of vertical lifting with a 2:1 margin. Air ports are 1/8", speed runs 30-500 mm/s, and a fixed TPU bumper sits at each end.

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 | 1559 N | 1458 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 2182 N | 2041 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 318 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 1558.6 N push at 0.5 MPa seats bronze bushings into aluminium housings on a small assembly cell, with the 30 mm window letting one cylinder serve several housing depths.
Clamps cast-iron brackets against hard stops in a 4th-axis fixture, where the short ISO 21287 body fits under the fixture plate and the stop screw sets exact clamp height per part.
Swings or lifts heavy pallet-stop gates on a warehouse conveyor line, lifting about 79 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin at 0.5 MPa.
At 63 mm bore this sits in the mid-heavy class: step down to a 50 mm bore for 981.7 N push at 0.5 MPa, or up to 80 mm for 2513.3 N when the clamp load grows. The stop screw is a mechanical end stop only, so on air loss the piston drifts and it should not be relied on to hold a load mid-stroke. FA flange or LB foot mounts and I/Y rod knuckles bolt to the ISO 21287 face. This unit has no magnet; if CMSE or DMSE switches are needed, order the -S version.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 1558.6 N and pulls 1458.1 N; at 0.7 MPa, 2182.1 N push and 2041.3 N pull; theoretical maximum 317.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The -30 code is a 30 mm adjustment window: an external stop screw shortens the 40 mm extend stroke by up to 30 mm, so the working range is 10-40 mm. It is a mechanical end stop, not a mid-stroke lock, so the piston still drifts if air is lost.
The ISO 21287 body is about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a hard-anodized aluminium body, S45C hard-chrome rod and fixed TPU bumpers at both ends. FA flange, LB foot and FTC brackets plus I/Y rod knuckles bolt straight to the face. Position sensing needs the optional -S magnet code; this model has no magnet, so CMSE or DMSE switches cannot be used unless -S is ordered.
