The AirTAC Airtac ACEJ50~63 Adjustable Compact Air Cylinder ACEJ63X55-40B is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 55mm 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 ACEJ63X55-40B is a double acting ISO 21287 compact cylinder with an adjustable extend stroke: an external stop screw trims the 55 mm stroke by up to 40 mm, giving a usable range of 15-55 mm without changing the cylinder. At 0.5 MPa the 63 mm bore delivers 1558.6 N on extend and 1458.1 N on retract, rising to 2182.1 N at 0.7 MPa. In practice, plan for roughly 935 N (about 95 kg) of real work at 0.5 MPa instead of the full rating.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so this 55 mm unit slots into tight clamping fixtures and machine frames. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke impact, and the male rod thread (B code) bolts directly to your tooling. For vertical lifting, the push force equates to about 159 kg, so with a 2:1 margin it lifts roughly 79 kg safely. Note that the stop screw is a mechanical end stop only - on air loss the piston still drifts, so it never holds a load mid-stroke.

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 extend force at 0.5 MPa presses bearings and bushings into aluminium housings, with the 15-55 mm range tuned per part size.
Clamps sheet-metal brackets against weld jigs; the stop screw sets exact clamp gap for each fixture, and the short body fits inside guard rails.
Swings or lifts conveyor gate arms at sortation points, where the 1/8" port and 30-500 mm/s speed match fast gate cycles.
Size between neighbours: the 50 mm bore gives 981.7 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the 80 mm bore reaches 2513.3 N - choose the 63 mm when your clamping or pressing duty sits between those figures. The 40 mm window suits jobs where the final position is tuned on the machine, such as setting clamp gap per product variant. FA flange or LB foot mountings bolt to the ISO 21287 face. If you need position sensing, order the -S variant to enable the optional magnet with CMSE / DMSE switches; this model (no S code) carries no magnet.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa: 1558.6 N push and 1458.1 N pull. At 0.7 MPa: 2182.1 N push and 2041.3 N pull. Theoretical maximum is 317.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, air filtered to 40 um, temperature -20 to +70 C.
An external stop screw shortens the 55 mm extend stroke by up to 40 mm, so the working range is 15-55 mm; it is an end stop, not a mid-stroke lock. The body is a hard-anodized ISO 21287 compact aluminium build about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a fixed TPU bumper at both ends. FA flange and LB foot mountings fit the standard face, and the rod end is male thread. This version has no magnet - order the -S code if you want CMSE / DMSE switch sensing.
