The AirTAC Airtac ACEJ80~100 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACEJ100X20-20 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.
Double acting and built to ISO 21287 compact dimensions, the ACEJ100X20-20 pairs a 100 mm bore with a short 20 mm stroke that an external stop screw trims on site anywhere in a 0-20 mm window. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 3927 N and pulls 3769.9 N, and the short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so heavy clamping fits inside guards and press frames that a full-length body cannot enter.
Plan real work at roughly 2350 N (about 0.6 of the push rating), which supports around 240 kg of vertical load with margin. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries an S45C hard-chrome plated 20 mm 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. The magnet is not fitted on this code; order the optional -S version if CMSE / DMSE switch sensing is needed later.

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.
| ACEJ | ISO 21287 compact cylinder (adjustable-stroke). |
|---|---|
| 100 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×20 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -20 | Adjustable stroke window (mm the extend stroke can be shortened on site). |
| S | Optional built-in magnet for CMSE / DMSE sensors (omit for no magnet). |
| B | Rod type: B = male thread; blank = female thread. |
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.
Short-stroke 3927 N push clinches steel brackets inside a compact welding press head where a 50%-longer profile body would not clear the frame.
The 0-20 mm adjustable window lets a CNC fixture eject machined housings the exact distance the part stop requires, tuned on site with the stop screw.
Drives a heavy pallet-line stop gate vertically, lifting about 240 kg of effective load with margin, mounted via LB feet under the conveyor rail.
Size down to the ACEJ63 for lighter work (1558.6 N push at 0.5 MPa) or up to the ACEJ125 when you need 6135.9 N; this 100 mm bore covers the 3927 N middle ground at 0.5 MPa. Remember the stop screw only shortens the extend stroke and is not a mid-stroke lock, so the piston still drifts if air is lost. Female M12x1.75 rod thread and 1/8" PT ports suit standard tooling; add the -S code only if position sensing is required.
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 -20 code is a 20 mm adjustment window: an external stop screw shortens the 20 mm extend stroke anywhere from 0 to 20 mm. It is an end stop only, not a load-holding lock, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with fixed TPU bumpers at both ends and FA flange, LB foot, FTC brackets plus I and Y rod knuckles fitting the standard face. This code has no magnet fitted, so no switch can be read; order the optional -S magnet to enable CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches.
