The AirTAC Airtac ACEJ80~100 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACEJ100X50-30 is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 50mm 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.
The ACEJ100X50-30 is a double acting ISO 21287 compact cylinder with an adjustable extend stroke: a 100 mm bore drives a 20 mm hard-chrome S45C rod over a 50 mm stroke, and an external stop screw trims the extend stroke anywhere within the ordered 30 mm window, giving a usable range of 20-50 mm. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 3927 N and pulls 3769.9 N, rising to 5497.8 N at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and speed runs 30-500 mm/s.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so this heavy-thrust cylinder still fits shallow press fixtures and guarded stations. A practical sizing rule: plan on roughly 2356 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which is about 240 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a fixed TPU bumper at both ends, and FA flange or LB foot mounts bolt straight to the standard face. This unit has no magnet; order the optional -S code if you later need CMSE / DMSE switch sensing.

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 swages or stakes aluminium terminals in an electronics press, and the 30 mm window lets the operator dial the extend stroke from 20 to 50 mm to match different part heights.
Mounted by FA flange inside a guarded automotive weld cell, the compact body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder while delivering 5497.8 N at 0.7 MPa to hold panels through welding.
On a warehouse conveyor gate, the 100 mm bore swings a heavy stop gate at 30-500 mm/s, and the fixed TPU bumper absorbs the gate's end-of-travel shock on every cycle.
At 100 mm bore this is the second-largest ACEJ size: 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa versus 2513.3 N for the 80 mm bore and 6135.9 N for the 125 mm bore, so step down to 80 mm if your clamp load is under about 2500 N or up to 125 mm for presses beyond 6000 N. The -30 adjuster only shortens the extend stroke within 20-50 mm and acts as a mechanical end stop, not a mid-stroke lock - on air loss the piston still drifts, so add a valve or external stop if you must hold a load. FA flange and LB foot mounting plus I/Y rod knuckles suit standard fixtures, and the port is 1/8" PT with a female M12x1.75 rod thread. If position feedback matters, specify the -S magnet variant for 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 extend stroke is adjustable from 20 to 50 mm via the external stop screw (30 mm window). It runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), temperature -20 to +70 C, speed 30-500 mm/s, with a 1/8" PT port and female M12x1.75 rod thread.
The ISO 21287 hard-anodized aluminium body is about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits shallow fixtures. FA flange and LB foot mounts plus I/Y rod knuckles bolt to the standard face. Sensing requires the optional -S magnet code, which enables CMSE / DMSE switches; this model without -S carries no magnet. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy.
