The AirTAC Airtac ACEJ80~100 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACEJ100X160-75SB 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 ACEJ100X160-75SB is a double acting, adjustable-stroke compact cylinder built to ISO 21287: a 100 mm bore drives a 20 mm hard-chrome-plated S45C rod through a 160 mm stroke, with a 1/4" PT port. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 3927 N and pulls 3769.9 N; at 0.7 MPa push rises to 5497.8 N, and the theoretical ceiling is 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The -75 code means an external stop screw trims the extend stroke anywhere in a 75 mm window, so the usable extend range is 85-160 mm, set on site with a wrench rather than a new order.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which matters when a 100 mm bore has to fit inside a press fixture or gantry with little headroom. Plan on roughly 2356 N (about 240 kg) of real work at 0.5 MPa instead of the full rating, and for vertical lifts halve the raw figure: this bore lifts about 200 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The -S magnet this model carries accepts CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches on the body's magnet slots, and fixed TPU bumpers at both ends absorb end-of-stroke shock.

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.
With 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa and a trim range of 85-160 mm, this cylinder suits stamping, riveting and crimping heads where the final die position is set on the stop screw rather than fixed at order time.
The 100 mm bore lifts about 200 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin, so it raises pallets, tote stacks or die carts on conveyor lift positions; the fitted -S magnet feeds CMSE / DMSE switches for up and down confirmation.
Fixture clamping of castings or weldments in CNC machining lines, where the short ISO 21287 body fits inside the fixture envelope and LB foot mounting bolts straight to the machine table.
Size against the load first: if 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa is far more than the job needs, the 80 mm bore (2513.3 N push at 0.5 MPa) saves space; if the load needs more, the 125 mm bore delivers 6135.9 N at 0.5 MPa. Choose this 100 mm model when the load sits between roughly 2300 and 3900 N at 0.5 MPa and the extend stroke must be trimmed on site within the 75 mm window (85-160 mm usable). The adjuster is a mechanical end stop only - on air loss the piston still drifts, so add a separate valve or lock for load holding. FA flange or LB foot mountings bolt to the ISO 21287 face, the B code gives a male rod thread, and the fitted -S magnet lets CMSE / DMSE switches report end positions.
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. It is double acting with an adjustable extend stroke: the -75 stop screw trims the 160 mm stroke by up to 75 mm, giving a usable range of 85-160 mm. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 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.
An external stop screw on the cylinder shortens the extend stroke on site by up to 75 mm - it cannot lengthen the stroke past the ordered 160 mm. The stop is a mechanical end position, 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 end-position sensing. FA flange and LB foot mountings fit the ISO 21287 face, and the hard-anodized aluminium body with fixed TPU bumpers at both ends keeps the unit about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder.
