The AirTAC Airtac ACEJ80~100 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACEJ100X175-30 is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 175mm stroke, 1/8" 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.
A double acting ISO 21287 compact cylinder, the ACEJ100X175-30 pairs a 100 mm bore with a 175 mm stroke and an external stop screw that trims the extend stroke by up to 30 mm on site, giving a usable range of 145-175 mm. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 3927 N and pulls 3769.9 N; at 0.7 MPa push rises to 5497.8 N, with a theoretical maximum of 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The hard-anodized aluminium body with a hard-chrome plated S45C rod runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-500 mm/s, from -20 to +70 C.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so this 100 mm bore fits presses, gantries and fixture plates where a full-length profile cylinder will not. In practice, plan for roughly 2356 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 200 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, and the rod ends in a female M12x1.75 thread with a 1/8" PT port. Note: this unit has no magnet fitted; order the optional -S code if you need CMSE / DMSE switch sensing.

The 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa clamps heavy steel forgings in milling fixtures, and the 145-175 mm adjustable range adapts one cylinder to different fixture heights without re-plumbing.
With about 2356 N of practical working force at 0.5 MPa, this bore stakes bearings and press-fits bushings in automotive sub-assembly cells, fitting the tight envelope of a compact press head.
The 175 mm stroke swings pallet-line gates and actuates loaded slides in warehouse automation, lifting parts of about 200 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin at 0.5 MPa.
At this force class the 100 mm bore delivers 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa. Step down to the 80 mm bore (2513.3 N push at 0.5 MPa) for lighter clamping, or up to the 125 mm bore (6135.9 N) when the load demands more. The 175 mm stroke sits well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so no made-to-order stroke is needed. The -30 stop screw shortens the extend stroke only within the 30 mm window; it is a mechanical end stop, not a mid-stroke lock, so the piston still drifts on air loss. FA flange or LB foot mounts and I/Y rod knuckles bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches.
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, with a theoretical maximum of 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The -30 code sets a 30 mm adjustment window: an external stop screw shortens the 175 mm extend stroke by up to 30 mm, so the working range is 145-175 mm. It shortens the stroke only; it is an end stop, not a load-holding brake, and the piston still drifts if air is lost. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, with a fixed TPU bumper at both ends.
The ISO 21287 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, female M12x1.75 rod thread and a 1/8" PT port. Sensing is not fitted as standard: this model has no magnet, so no switch can be mounted unless you order the optional -S code, which allows CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches. FA flange and LB foot mounts plus I/Y rod knuckles bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face.
