About the Airtac ACEJ80~100 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACEJ100X160-100S
A double acting ISO 21287 compact cylinder, the ACEJ100X160-100S pairs a 100 mm bore with a 160 mm stroke and a 100 mm adjustment window. An external stop screw trims the extend stroke on site anywhere from 60 to 160 mm, so one cylinder can be tuned to several fixture depths without reordering. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 3927 N and pulls 3769.9 N, placing it in the heavy-press class of the ACEJ range.
The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which matters on wide gantries and press frames where every millimetre of envelope counts. A practical sizing rule: plan for roughly 2356 N (about 240 kg) of real work at 0.5 MPa, and for vertical lifts expect it to raise about 200 kg with a 2:1 margin. The -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE / DMSE switches can be bolted to the body for end-of-stroke sensing. FA flange and LB foot mounts plus I/Y rod knuckles bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face.

Where the Airtac ACEJ80~100 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACEJ100X160-100S Is Used
Clamping fixtures on CNC machining lines
The 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa clamps steel housings or castings hard, and the 100 mm window lets one cylinder serve fixtures of different depths from 60 to 160 mm.
Pallet lift-and-lower stations
With about 200 kg of vertical lift capacity at a 2:1 margin, it raises loaded pallets or die carts in assembly plants; the -S magnet signals top and bottom positions via CMSE switches.
Baling and compacting heads in packaging
The 100 mm bore drives compacting plates on carton or scrap balers, where the hard-anodized body and fixed TPU bumpers absorb repeated end-of-stroke impacts at up to 500 mm/s.
Is the Airtac ACEJ80~100 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACEJ100X160-100S the Right Cylinder?
At this bore size the step either way is large: a 63 mm bore delivers 1558.6 N push at 0.5 MPa, while a 125 mm bore reaches 6135.9 N. If your load sits between roughly 1500 and 3900 N, the 100 mm bore is the efficient pick. The stop screw only shortens the extend stroke and is a mechanical end stop, not a mid-stroke lock - on air loss the piston still drifts, so add a valve or external stop where load holding is critical. With the -S magnet fitted, CMSE / DMSE switches mount directly in the body slots. Female M12x1.75 rod thread, 1/4" PT ports, speed 30-500 mm/s.
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 ACEJ100X160-100S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 3927 N and pulls 3769.9 N; at 0.7 MPa push rises to 5497.8 N and pull to 5277.9 N, with a theoretical maximum of 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The -100 code means an external stop screw can shorten the 160 mm extend stroke by up to 100 mm, giving a usable range of 60-160 mm. It is double acting, runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), and travels at 30-500 mm/s.
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 hard-anodized aluminium body, S45C hard-chrome rod and fixed TPU bumpers at both ends. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be fitted in the body slots. FA flange and LB foot mounts plus I and Y rod knuckles bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face; the rod end is female M12x1.75 and ports are 1/4" PT.
