The AirTAC Airtac ACEJ80~100 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACEJ100X160-50 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.
This 100 mm bore ACEJ is a double acting ISO 21287 compact cylinder with an adjustable extend stroke: an external stop screw trims the 160 mm stroke by up to 50 mm, giving a usable range of 110-160 mm on site. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 3927 N and pulls 3769.9 N, rising to 5497.8 N at 0.7 MPa, so it carries heavy clamp and press loads in a body about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder.
In practice, plan on roughly 2356 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which is about 240 kg - or lift about 120 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries an S45C hard-chrome rod, fixed TPU bumpers absorb end-of-stroke shock at both ends, and FA flange or LB foot mounts bolt to the standard ISO 21287 face. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s over 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).

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.

| 0.7 MPa | 5498 N | 5278 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 801 kgf | |
Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.

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 seats bearings or bushings in automotive assembly fixtures, with the stop screw set so the ram bottoms at a repeatable depth between 110 and 160 mm.
FA flange mounting fixes the cylinder against a CNC fixture wall to clamp cast iron housings; the 50 mm window lets one cylinder serve several part heights.
Lifts about 120 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin at 0.5 MPa, lowering pallets or fixtures in a packaging cell where the short ISO 21287 body fits under a low gantry.
At this force class, 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa covers heavy clamping and pressing; if your load is lighter, a 63 mm bore (1558.6 N push at 0.5 MPa) saves space, while an 80 mm bore delivers 2513.3 N. Remember the stop screw is a mechanical end stop only - it trims the extend stroke within the 50 mm window but does not hold a load if air is lost. Order the optional -S code if you need CMSE / DMSE switch positions; without it there is no magnet.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 3927 N and pulls 3769.9 N; at 0.7 MPa push is 5497.8 N and pull 5277.9 N; theoretical maximum is 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 100 mm bore uses a 20 mm hard-chrome rod with a female M12x1.75 thread and 1/4" PT ports. The -50 stop screw trims the extend stroke anywhere in a 50 mm window, so the working range is 110-160 mm.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight gantries and guards. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock; it never locks or brakes a load, and the piston drifts if air is lost. FA flange and LB foot mounts fit the standard face, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches - without that code no sensor can be mounted.
