The AirTAC Airtac ACEJ80~100 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACEJ100X20-10S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 20mm 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 with a trimmable extend stroke, the ACEJ100X20-10S pairs a 100 mm bore with a short 20 mm stroke and a 10 mm adjustment window. An external stop screw shortens the extend stroke on site, so the usable range is 10-20 mm without changing the cylinder. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 3927 N and pulls 3769.9 N, placing it in the heavy-clamp and press class of this range. The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome plated rod runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-500 mm/s, with a fixed TPU bumper at both ends.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into press frames and weld fixtures where a full-length body cannot reach. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be fitted for end-of-stroke signals. As a working figure, plan for roughly 2356 N of real work at 0.5 MPa (about 0.6 of the push rating), which corresponds to lifting about 200 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

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.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 3927 N | 3770 N |
| 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 suits a compact bench press that forms or stakes small brackets, with the 10-20 mm trimmed stroke matching a fixed die height.
Clamps steel automotive subassemblies inside a tight weld cell, where the short ISO 21287 body fits between fixture rails and the -S magnet signals clamp made.
Ejects cast housings from a machining fixture with about 2356 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa, using the stop screw to set exact ejection travel.
Size against neighbours: 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 between them for heavy clamping and short pressing. Remember the stop screw is a mechanical end stop for the extend stroke, not a mid-stroke lock - 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, and the fitted -S magnet accepts CMSE / DMSE switches.
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 and pull to 5277.9 N, with a theoretical maximum of 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The -10 code is a 10 mm adjustment window: an external stop screw shortens the 20 mm extend stroke by up to 10 mm, giving a usable range of 10-20 mm. It is double acting, runs at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and 30-500 mm/s, and has 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, so it fits tight guards and fixture plates. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be mounted in the body slots for position signals. FA flange and LB foot mountings bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face, and the rod end is a female M12x1.75 thread with a 1/8" PT port.
