The AirTAC Airtac ACEJ80~100 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACEJ100X150-40S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 150mm stroke, 1/4" 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 ACEJ100X150-40S is a double acting ISO 21287 compact cylinder with an adjustable extend stroke: an external stop screw trims the 150 mm stroke by up to 40 mm on site, giving a usable range of 110-150 mm without changing the cylinder. At the 100 mm bore it pushes 3927 N and pulls 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa, rising to 5497.8 N at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The S code means the optional -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clamped into the body slots for end-of-stroke signalling.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which matters on heavy presses and gantries where every millimetre of envelope counts. A hard-anodized aluminium body carries an S45C hard-chrome-plated 20 mm rod, and fixed TPU bumpers absorb end-of-stroke shock at both ends. As a rule of thumb, plan for roughly 2356 N of real work at 0.5 MPa (about 60% of the rating), which is a vertical lift of around 240 kg - halve that to about 120 kg if you want a 2:1 margin on the part weight.

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.

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 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa (about 5498 N at 0.7 MPa) suits bench-top arbor presses seating small electric motor shafts, and the 40 mm window lets you trim the 150 mm stroke to the exact seating depth per hub batch.
With about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, the compact body fits inside the weld-cell gantry frame, holding fixture clamps closed at 110-150 mm stroke while the fitted magnet feeds position signals to the PLC.
Halving the push rating gives a conservative vertical lift of about 120 kg, enough to raise machined aluminium housings between conveyor and inspection station, with the 1/4" port keeping fill and exhaust times short at 30-500 mm/s.
Size against the load: the 80 mm bore delivers 2513.3 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to 125 mm gives 6135.9 N - the 100 mm bore at 3927 N sits between them for clamping and pressing in the 250-400 kgf class. Remember the stop screw is a mechanical end stop for the extend stroke, not a mid-stroke lock, so the piston will still drift if air is lost and a separate holding method is needed for suspended loads. FA flange or LB foot mountings bolt to the ISO 21287 face, rod knuckles I and Y suit the M12x1.75 female rod thread, and this model already carries the optional -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 3927 N and pulls 3769.9 N; at 0.7 MPa it pushes 5497.8 N and pulls 5277.9 N; the theoretical maximum is 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The -40 code is a 40 mm adjustment window: an external stop screw shortens the 150 mm extend stroke by up to 40 mm, so the working range is 110-150 mm. It runs double acting on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C, with a 1/4" port and a 20 mm rod ending in an M12x1.75 female thread.
The S in the model code means the optional -S magnet is fitted on this unit, so CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be slid into the body slots to signal end positions - without the -S code there is no magnet. The hard-anodized aluminium body and fixed TPU end bumpers form a short ISO 21287 package that saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and FA flange or LB foot mountings plus I and Y rod knuckles bolt straight onto the standard face.
