The AirTAC Airtac ACEJ80~100 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACEJ100X125-40 is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 125mm 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 ACEJ100X125-40 pairs a 100 mm bore with a 125 mm stroke that an external stop screw trims by up to 40 mm, giving a usable extend range of 85-125 mm on site. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 3927 N and pulls 3769.9 N, and at 0.7 MPa push rises to 5497.8 N, with a theoretical ceiling of 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Running on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), it cycles at 30-500 mm/s across -20 to +70 C.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so heavy clamping can fit inside tight press frames and weld fixtures. Plan on roughly 2356 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 240 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke impact, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches when ordered.

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 | 5498 N | 5278 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 801 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 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa and a 40 mm trim window, the cylinder clamps heavy stampings in a compact press frame where a full-length ISO 15552 body would not fit.
The short body and about 240 kg vertical-lift margin at 0.5 MPa suit pop-up roller stations that raise loaded pallet sections on conveyor transfer lines.
A 125 mm stroke trimmed to 85-125 mm drives sand-gate slides on moulding lines, with the optional -S magnet feeding CMSE switch feedback to the PLC.
At this force class the 100 mm bore is the right pick when a 63 mm bore (1558.6 N push at 0.5 MPa) falls short but an 80 mm bore (2513.3 N) leaves little margin for your 3927 N-class load. If your job needs a longer reach, bore 100 accepts standard strokes up to 300 mm, so a 125 mm stroke sits well inside the catalogue range. Remember the stop screw only shortens the extend stroke and is not a mid-stroke lock: on air loss the piston still drifts, so add a separate holding valve where a load must stay put. Bolt FA flange or LB foot mounts to the ISO 21287 face, and order the -S code if CMSE / DMSE position sensing is planned.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 3927 N and pulls 3769.9 N; at 0.7 MPa push is 5497.8 N and pull 5277.9 N, with a theoretical maximum of 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The -40 code is a 40 mm adjustment window: a stop screw on the front cover shortens the 125 mm extend stroke by up to 40 mm, so the working range is 85-125 mm. It shortens the stroke only and never extends it past the ordered value.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a hard-anodized aluminium body, threaded aluminium covers, an S45C hard-chrome rod, a 1/8" PT port and a fixed TPU bumper at both ends that absorbs end-of-stroke impact. Mounting options include FA flange and LB foot plus I/Y rod knuckles on the standard ISO 21287 face. Position sensing requires the optional -S magnet code; without it no magnet is fitted, so CMSE / DMSE switches only work when -S is ordered.
