The AirTAC Airtac ACEJ50~63 Adjustable Compact Air Cylinder ACEJ63X50-40B 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.
The ACEJ63X50-40B is a double acting AirTAC compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, with a 63 mm bore, a 50 mm stroke and a male rod thread (B code). An external stop screw trims the extend stroke by up to 40 mm on site, so the usable extend range is 10-50 mm without changing the cylinder. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 1558.6 N and pulls 1458.1 N; at 0.7 MPa push rises to 2182.1 N. The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight clamping fixtures and machine frames where a full-length cylinder will not fit.
In practice, plan for roughly 935 N of real work at 0.5 MPa (about 0.6 of the push force), which corresponds to lifting about 79 kg vertically - or about 40 kg with a 2:1 margin. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a 16 mm S45C hard-chrome rod, a fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke shock at both ends, and air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with speeds of 30-500 mm/s. FA flange and LB foot mounts bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face. Note that the stop screw is a mechanical end stop only: on air loss the piston still drifts, so it is not a load-holding brake.

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.

| 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.
With 1558.6 N push at 0.5 MPa (2182.1 N at 0.7 MPa), the 63 mm bore presses small bearings and bushings into pump or motor housings, and the stop screw sets the exact seating depth within the 10-50 mm range.
The short ISO 21287 body fits inside tight welding and machining fixtures where an ISO 15552 profile cylinder is too long, holding steel brackets with about 935 N of usable clamping force at 0.5 MPa.
The 63 mm bore lifts roughly 79 kg vertically at 0.5 MPa (about 40 kg with a 2:1 margin), ideal for raising trays or subassemblies a short 10-50 mm distance between conveyor stops.
Size the load both ways: the 50 mm bore pushes 981.7 N at 0.5 MPa, while the 80 mm bore reaches 2513.3 N - the 63 mm bore at 1558.6 N sits squarely between them for mid-duty clamping and pressing. If your stroke may change during commissioning, the 40 mm adjustment window (usable extend range 10-50 mm) removes the need to reorder a shorter cylinder. Choose the female-thread version if you already use rod knuckles or accessories; this B version suits direct male-thread coupling. If you need position sensing, order the -S variant, since this model has no magnet and no CMSE / DMSE switch can be mounted without it.
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; theoretical maximum is 317.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The -40 code is a 40 mm adjustment window: an external stop screw shortens the 50 mm extend stroke by up to 40 mm, giving a usable range of 10-50 mm. It is a mechanical end stop, not a mid-stroke lock - on air loss the piston still drifts. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and speed is 30-500 mm/s.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder whose short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a hard-anodized aluminium body, 16 mm hard-chrome rod and fixed TPU bumpers at both ends. Mounting options include FA flange and LB foot. Position sensing requires the optional -S magnet code; this model (no S) has no magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches cannot be used. The port is 1/8" and the rod end is male thread (B code).
