About the Airtac ACEJ80~100 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACEJ100X160-100B
The ACEJ100X160-100B is a double acting, adjustable-stroke compact cylinder built to ISO 21287. Its 100 mm bore delivers 3927 N push and 3769.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa, rising to 5497.8 N push at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical peak of 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The -100 code adds a 100 mm adjustment window: an external stop screw trims the 160 mm extend stroke down to 60 mm on site, so one cylinder covers a 60-160 mm range. The hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which matters in heavy presses and gantries where every millimetre of envelope counts.
In practice, plan for roughly 2356 N of real work at 0.5 MPa instead of the full rating, which is about 240 kg of vertical lifting force; halve that for a 2:1 margin and you can lift about 120 kg vertically with confidence. The 20 mm S45C hard-chrome rod, fixed TPU bumpers at both ends and 30-500 mm/s speed range suit fast, heavy clamping cycles. Rod end is male thread (B code) and the port is 1/4" PT. The optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches; this model, ordered without S, has no magnet fitted.

Where the Airtac ACEJ80~100 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACEJ100X160-100B Is Used
Heavy fixture clamping on CNC machining lines
The 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa clamps large steel castings in machining fixtures, and the 60-160 mm adjustable window lets one cylinder serve different part heights without re-plumbing.
Press-fit and staking stations
With about 5497.8 N available at 0.7 MPa, the cylinder presses bushings and bearings into housings, while the short ISO 21287 body fits inside tight press frames.
Pallet-handling pusher in warehousing
The 100 mm bore pushes loaded pallets or tote bins on transfer conveyors, and the male-threaded rod (B code) accepts I or Y knuckles for pusher-arm linkage.
Is the Airtac ACEJ80~100 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACEJ100X160-100B the Right Cylinder?
At this force class, check whether 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa covers your load; if the job is lighter, the 80 mm bore ACEJ gives 2513.3 N push at 0.5 MPa, and the 125 mm bore steps up to 6135.9 N. Remember the stop screw is an extend-stroke end stop, not a mid-stroke lock: on air loss the piston still drifts, so add a separate holding valve for suspended loads. Mounting: FA flange or LB foot bolt to the ISO 21287 face, with I and Y rod knuckles for the male-threaded rod. If position feedback is needed, order the -S variant so CMSE / DMSE switches can be used.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Short stroke fits the compact body
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G)
- ✓ Add -S if you need the magnet for sensors
- ✓ Rod type (female / male B) & mount (FA/LB/CA)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Compact body: keep the stroke short and avoid side load on the rod.
- check Do not dismantle the threaded front/back covers.
- check Keep speed within the rated range; the TPU bumper absorbs stroke-end energy.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac ACEJ80~100 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACEJ100X160-100B FAQ
Push is 3927 N and pull is 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa push reaches 5497.8 N, and the theoretical maximum is 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It is double acting with a 100 mm adjustment window trimming the 160 mm extend stroke down to 60 mm. Operating pressure is 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, air filtered to 40 um, port 1/4" PT, rod 20 mm with male thread.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into dense machine frames. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. FA flange and LB foot mounts plus I/Y rod knuckles bolt straight on. Position sensing needs the optional -S magnet ordered with CMSE or DMSE switches; this model without S carries no magnet.
