The AirTAC Airtac ACEJ80~100 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACEJ100X160-100SB is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 160mm 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 ACEJ100X160-100SB is a double acting ISO 21287 compact cylinder with an adjustable extend stroke. At 0.5 MPa it pushes with 3927 N and pulls with 3769.9 N, rising to 5497.8 N at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical ceiling of 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 100 mm adjustment window means an external stop screw trims the 160 mm stroke down to as little as 60 mm on site, so one cylinder covers several jig positions.
The hard-anodized aluminium body carries magnet slots for the -S option (fitted here), so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be mounted directly. Its short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and the male rod thread (B code) bolts into standard tooling. As a rule of thumb, plan on roughly 2356 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which is about 240 kg - or halve it and say this bore lifts about 120 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy; it never locks or holds a load.

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.
Trim the stroke from 160 mm down to 60 mm with the stop screw to clamp thick weldments on a machining fixture, using about 2356 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa.
The 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa swings heavy safety gates and pallet stops on warehouse conveyor lines, with CMSE switches reporting gate position.
At 0.7 MPa the bore delivers 5497.8 N, enough to press scrap or packaging into chutes where a full-length ISO 15552 cylinder would not fit.
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. If your clamping or pressing duty sits between those figures, the 100 mm bore at 3927 N push is the natural fit. Remember the stop screw is a mechanical end stop only - on air loss the piston drifts, so add a separate valve or lock for load holding.
Mount with FA flange or LB foot brackets on the ISO 21287 face, and pair I or Y rod knuckles with the male thread. The -S magnet is fitted on this model, so CMSE / DMSE switches give end-of-stroke signals without extra hardware. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s and ports are 1/4".
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 3927 N and pulls 3769.9 N. At 0.7 MPa push rises to 5497.8 N (pull 5277.9 N). The theoretical maximum is 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the port is 1/4". For real work, plan on about 2356 N at 0.5 MPa - roughly 240 kg, or about 120 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin.
The -100 code sets a 100 mm adjustment window: an external stop screw shortens the extend stroke on site anywhere between 60 and 160 mm. It is a mechanical end stop, not a mid-stroke lock, so the piston still drifts if air is lost. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount in the body slots for position signals. The fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke energy, and FA flange or LB foot brackets bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face.
