The AirTAC Airtac ACEJ50~63 Adjustable Compact Air Cylinder ACEJ63X80-20 is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 80mm 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 ACEJ63X80-20 pairs a 63 mm bore with an 80 mm stroke that an external stop screw trims by up to 20 mm on site, giving a usable 60-80 mm range. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 1558.6 N and pulls 1458.1 N, rising to 2182.1 N at 0.7 MPa. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight gantries and fixtures where a full-length body will not fit.
For sizing, plan on roughly 935 N of real work at 0.5 MPa (about 0.6 of the push rating) - in lift terms that is around 79 kg held vertically with a 2:1 margin. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a 16 mm S45C hard-chrome rod with a female M10x1.5 thread, and 1/8" PT ports feed both chambers. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock, and the optional -S magnet lets you add CMSE / DMSE switches; without it no sensor can be fitted.

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 secures steel housings in machining fixtures, and the 60-80 mm trim lets one cylinder serve several part heights without re-plumbing.
Short-body mounting saves about 50% of the length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so the 63 mm bore swings conveyor gates in tight warehouse lanes at up to 500 mm/s.
With about 79 kg of vertical lift capacity at a 2:1 margin, the 80 mm stroke ejects finished castings from die stations on packaging and assembly lines.
At 63 mm this sits in the mid-heavy class: step down to a 50 mm bore (981.7 N push at 0.5 MPa) for lighter clamping, or up to 80 mm (2513.3 N) when the load demands more. 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 you need position holding. FA flange and LB foot mountings bolt to the standard ISO 21287 face, and ordering the -S code enables the magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches. Speed range 30-500 mm/s, air pressure 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
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 -20 code sets a 20 mm adjustment window: an external stop screw shortens the 80 mm extend stroke to any point down to 60 mm. It is a mechanical end stop, not a mid-stroke lock, so the piston still drifts if air is lost.
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 fixed TPU bumper at both ends and FA flange or LB foot options on the standard face. Position sensing requires the optional -S magnet code: with it, CMSE / DMSE switches mount in the body slots; without -S there is no magnet and no switch can be read.
