The AirTAC Airtac ACEJ50~63 Adjustable Compact Air Cylinder ACEJ63X60-40SB is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 60mm 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 ACEJ63X60-40SB pairs a 63 mm bore with a 60 mm stroke and a 40 mm adjustment window: an external stop screw on the front cover lets you trim the extend stroke anywhere between 20 and 60 mm on site, no disassembly needed. 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 short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight welding jigs and machine frames a full-length body cannot reach. The hard-anodized aluminium barrel carries a hard-chrome plated S45C rod with a male thread (B code), and because this model carries the optional -S magnet you can clip CMSE or DMSE switches straight onto the body for end-of-stroke sensing. A practical rule of thumb: plan for roughly 0.6 of the push force, about 935 N, and at 0.5 MPa that translates to lifting around 79 kg vertically, or about 40 kg with a 2:1 margin.

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.
The 1558.6 N push at 0.5 MPa holds steel brackets firmly in a welding fixture, and the 20-60 mm adjustable window lets one cylinder serve several bracket sizes.
With 2182.1 N available at 0.7 MPa, this bore handles light press-fitting of bushings and bearings where a full-length profile cylinder would not fit the frame.
The compact body plus CMSE switch feedback from the fitted -S magnet makes it a clean choice for pusher arms on bottling and carton divert stations.
Size against neighbours: a 50 mm bore gives 981.7 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to 80 mm buys 2513.3 N. If your press or clamp load sits between those, the 63 mm bore with its 1558.6 N push is the efficient middle choice. Remember the stop screw is a mechanical end stop for the extend stroke only - on air loss the piston still drifts, so add a separate valve or lock if the load must be held. FA flange and LB foot mountings bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the -S magnet in this model works with CMSE / DMSE switches. Runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-500 mm/s.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 1558.6 N and pulls 1458.1 N; at 0.7 MPa that rises to 2182.1 N push and 2041.3 N pull, with a theoretical maximum of 317.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The -40 code is a 40 mm adjustment window: an external stop screw shortens the 60 mm extend stroke by up to 40 mm, giving a usable range of 20-60 mm. It shortens the stroke only - it never extends it past 60 mm, and it is an end stop, not a mid-stroke lock.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits shallow jigs and guarded machines. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke impact. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount directly on the body slots. FA flange and LB foot mountings plus I and Y rod knuckles bolt to the standard ISO 21287 face, and the male-threaded rod (B code) suits clevis-style tooling.
