The AirTAC Airtac ACEJ50~63 Adjustable Compact Air Cylinder ACEJ63X50-20S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 50mm 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 ACEJ63X50-20S pairs a 63 mm bore with a 50 mm stroke that an external stop screw trims on site by up to 20 mm, giving a usable extend range of 30-50 mm. 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 ceiling of 317.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The S code means the magnet is fitted, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clipped onto the body slots for end-of-stroke signalling.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into tight presses, weld fixtures and gantry clamps a full-length cylinder cannot reach. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock, and the 16 mm rod carries a female M10x1.5 thread. Running 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at 30-500 mm/s, it delivers roughly 936 N of dependable work force at 0.5 MPa, which is about 95 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin - enough headroom to raise a loaded aluminium pallet or clamp a steel bracket with confidence.

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.
1558.6 N push at 0.5 MPa crimps terminals and light extrusions; trim the extend stroke between 30-50 mm to match die height without re-plumbing.
About 95 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin handles loaded SMT pallets; the fitted magnet plus a CMSE switch confirms the raised position.
The short ISO 21287 body fits inside tight fixture frames, and the 20 mm adjustment window absorbs bracket tolerance stack-up on site.
Size against neighbours: a 50 mm bore gives 981.7 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to 80 mm raises it to 2513.3 N - pick the 63 mm when your clamp or lift sits between those bands. Remember the stop screw only shortens the extend stroke within the 20 mm window and is a mechanical end stop, not a mid-stroke lock, so the rod still drifts if air is lost. FA flange or LB foot mounts bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and because the -S magnet is fitted on this model, add CMSE or DMSE switches at order time. Port is 1/8" PT.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 1558.6 N and pulls 1458.1 N; at 0.7 MPa push is 2182.1 N and pull 2041.3 N, with a theoretical maximum of 317.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The -20 code sets a 20 mm adjustment window: an external stop screw shortens the 50 mm extend stroke by up to 20 mm, so the working range is 30-50 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.
The hard-anodized aluminium ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits shallow jigs and guards. A fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke energy. FA flange and LB foot mounts bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be mounted in the body slots for end-of-stroke detection.
