About the Airtac ACEJ80~100 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACEJ100X160-20SB
The ACEJ100X160-20SB is a double acting ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a 100 mm bore and a 160 mm stroke that an external stop screw trims on site by up to 20 mm, giving a usable extend range of 140-160 mm. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 3927 N and pulls 3769.9 N, rising to 5497.8 N on the extend stroke at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical ceiling of 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The male-threaded 20 mm rod (the B code) bolts straight into standard tooling.
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 this force class fits inside guards and gantry frames that a full-length body cannot. Because the -S magnet is fitted, CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches mount directly in the body slots for end-of-travel feedback. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, and the stop screw is purely a mechanical end stop: on air loss the piston still drifts, so it never holds or brakes a load. As a planning figure, budget roughly 2360 N (about 240 kg) of real work at 0.5 MPa rather than the full rating.

Where the Airtac ACEJ80~100 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACEJ100X160-20SB Is Used
Heavy press-frame clamping
The 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa (5497.8 N at 0.7 MPa) clamps large weld fixtures and machining jigs, with the 140-160 mm trim range matching part-height variation.
Pallet lift-and-index units
About 200 kg of vertical lift at a 2:1 margin suits indexing loaded pallets on assembly lines, while the short body keeps the module inside the machine envelope.
Baler and gate actuation
High pull force of 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa retracts heavy conveyor gates and chute diverters, with CMSE switches (magnet fitted via -S) confirming open and closed positions.
Is the Airtac ACEJ80~100 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACEJ100X160-20SB the Right Cylinder?
Size both ways before committing: the 80 mm bore delivers 2513.3 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the 125 mm bore reaches 6135.9 N, so the 100 mm bore at 3927 N sits squarely in the heavy-clamping and lifting band between them. For vertical duty, the 3927 N push equates to about 400 kgf; halve that for a 2:1 margin and this cylinder lifts about 200 kg vertically with confidence. Mount it on the ISO 21287 face with FA flange or LB foot hardware, add I or Y rod knuckles for the male-threaded rod, and remember the magnet is the optional -S code - fitted here - if CMSE / DMSE switching is needed.
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 ACEJ100X160-20SB FAQ
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 -20 code is a 20 mm adjustment window: an external stop screw shortens the 160 mm extend stroke by up to 20 mm, so the usable range is 140-160 mm. It shortens the stroke only - it never extends it past 160 mm - and it is a mechanical end stop, not a mid-stroke lock, so the piston still drifts if air is lost. 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 on air filtered to 40 um.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why this 100 mm bore fits tight gantries and guarded frames. A fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke energy. This unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches mount in the body slots for position feedback. The B code gives a male-threaded 20 mm rod, the port is 1/4" PT, and FA flange or LB foot mounts plus I and Y rod knuckles bolt straight to the standard face. For the exact weight and outline dimensions, confirm from datasheet.
