The AirTAC Airtac ACEJ80~100 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACEJ100X70-40 is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 70mm 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 ACEJ100X70-40 is a double acting ISO 21287 compact cylinder with an adjustable extend stroke: an external stop screw trims the 70 mm stroke down by up to 40 mm, giving a usable range of 30-70 mm without changing the order code. At the 100 mm bore it delivers 3927 N push and 3769.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa, rising to 5497.8 N push at 0.7 MPa, so it covers heavy clamping and press-fit work in a body that saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder.
In practice, plan for roughly 2350 N of real work at 0.5 MPa (about 60% of the rated push), which corresponds to lifting around 240 kg vertically - halve that to about 120 kg for a 2:1 margin on a vertical lift. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a S45C hard-chrome-plated 20 mm rod, fixed TPU bumpers absorb end-of-stroke energy at both ends, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switch mounting; without -S no magnet is fitted. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s.

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 (5497.8 N at 0.7 MPa) drives bearings or bushings into housings on automotive assembly lines, with the 40 mm window letting you dial the 70 mm stroke down to 30 mm for shallow press depths.
The short ISO 21287 body fits inside robot weld guns and fixture risers where a full-length profile cylinder will not, holding car-body panels with roughly 240 kgf of clamp force at 0.5 MPa.
With about 120 kg vertical lift at a 2:1 margin, the cylinder raises palletized cartons or machined parts between conveyor levels, and the 1/8" port keeps air supply adequate at 30-500 mm/s cycle speeds.
At 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa this 100 mm bore suits fixtures needing roughly 240 kgf of thrust; if your load is under about 2450 N, the 80 mm bore (2513.3 N push at 0.5 MPa) saves space, and if you need more, the 125 mm bore reaches 6135.9 N. Remember the stop screw only shortens the extend stroke within the 40 mm window - it is a mechanical end stop, not a mid-stroke lock, so the rod still drifts if air is lost. Mount with FA flange or LB foot on the ISO 21287 face, add I or Y rod knuckles as needed, and order the -S code if CMSE / DMSE position switches are planned.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 3927 N and pulls 3769.9 N; at 0.7 MPa it pushes 5497.8 N and pulls 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 on the cylinder shortens the 70 mm extend stroke by up to 40 mm, so the working range is 30-70 mm. It is a mechanical end stop for the extend stroke only - it does not lengthen the stroke and it will not hold a load if air pressure is lost. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and speed is 30-500 mm/s.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a hard-anodized aluminium body, threaded aluminium covers, a 20 mm S45C hard-chrome-plated rod with female M12x1.75 thread, and fixed TPU bumpers at both ends to absorb end-of-stroke impact. The body is about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and FA flange or LB foot mounts plus I/Y rod knuckles bolt to the standard ISO 21287 face. Position sensing requires the optional -S magnet code - this model (no S) has no magnet, so no CMSE or DMSE switch can be mounted unless you order the -S version. Air supply must be filtered to 40 um; ports are 1/8" PT.
