The AirTAC ACEJ80~100 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACEJ100X55-40B is a genuine double acting, double rod, adjustable stroke ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 55mm 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 ACEJ100X55-40B pairs a 100 mm bore with a 55 mm stroke that an external stop screw trims by up to 40 mm on site, giving a usable extend range of 15-55 mm. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 3927 N and pulls 3769.9 N, enough for heavy clamping and press-fit work in a body that saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder.
The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a 20 mm S45C hard-chrome rod with a male thread (B code), and fixed TPU bumpers absorb end-of-stroke shock at both ends. Run it on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-500 mm/s.

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 | Force (both ways) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 3770 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 5278 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 769 kgf |
ACEJ is double-rod: the rear rod that carries the stroke adjuster exits the rear cover, so both piston faces lose rod area. The rod-side (annular) area is used for both directions (conservative).

ACE-family variants: ACE (double acting), ASE / ATE (single acting push / pull), ACED (double rod), ACEJ (double rod, 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.
Clamps large cast-iron workpieces on CNC milling fixtures; the short ISO 21287 body fits inside machine guards where a full-length profile cylinder cannot.
The 55 mm stroke sits well inside the 300 mm max standard stroke for this bore, so no made-to-order length is needed. FA flange or LB foot mountings bolt to the ISO 21287 face; the adjuster is a mechanical end stop only, so on air loss the piston drifts and it should not be relied on to hold a load. Order the -S code if you later need CMSE / DMSE switch sensing; this model has no magnet fitted.
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 -40 code is a 40 mm adjustment window: an external stop screw shortens the 55 mm extend stroke by up to 40 mm, so the usable range is 15-55 mm. It cannot lengthen the stroke past 55 mm, and the stop is not a mid-stroke lock - on air loss the piston still drifts.
The ISO 21287 compact body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it suits tight gantries and guards. It has a hard-anodized aluminium body, a 20 mm hard-chrome rod with male thread, a 1/8" PT port, fixed TPU bumpers at both ends, and FA/LB mounting options. Position sensing requires the optional -S magnet code, which enables CMSE / DMSE switches; without -S no magnet is fitted and no sensor can be mounted.
