The AirTAC Airtac ACEJ80~100 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACEJ100X80-40 is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 80mm 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 ACEJ100X80-40 pairs a 100 mm bore with an 80 mm stroke that an external stop screw trims on site by up to 40 mm, giving a usable extend range of 40-80 mm. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 3927 N and pulls 3769.9 N; at 0.7 MPa push rises to 5497.8 N, with a theoretical ceiling of 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Keep real work to roughly 2356 N (about 0.6 of the push figure) and it will lift around 200 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so heavy clamping fits inside tight press frames and gantries. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock, ports are 1/8" PT, the rod thread is female M12x1.75, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi). Note the adjuster is a mechanical end stop only - on air loss the piston still drifts, so it never holds a load. The magnet is not fitted; order the -S code if you need CMSE / DMSE switching.

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.

| 0.5 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 clinches aluminium brackets in a bench press, and the 40-80 mm adjustable window lets one cylinder serve several die heights without re-plumbing.
Short body fits behind the machine guard where an ISO 15552 profile cylinder would not, cycling a 150 kg steel gate at 30-500 mm/s with the stop screw set to 60 mm.
Pull force of 3769.9 N retracts a side-clamp arm against pallets; FA flange mounting bolts straight to the existing fixture face and the 1/8" PT ports suit standard plant air.
At this bore size the step is wide: a 63 mm ACEJ delivers 1558.6 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the next step up is the 125 mm bore at 6135.9 N - so pick the 100 mm when your clamp or press load sits between roughly 1.6 kN and 4 kN. If the job needs a non-rotating rod or a through-rod, look at the TACE twin-guide or ACED double-rod variants instead. Mount with FA flange or LB foot on the ISO 21287 face, add I or Y rod knuckles for pivoting tooling, and remember to order the -S magnet code at purchase if CMSE / DMSE position sensing will be added later - it cannot be retrofitted.
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 -40 code is a 40 mm adjustment window: an external stop screw shortens the 80 mm extend stroke on site, so the usable range is 40-80 mm. It shortens only - it cannot lengthen the stroke past 80 mm, and it is a mechanical end stop, not a load-holding lock, so the piston drifts if air is lost.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a hard-anodized aluminium body, S45C hard-chrome rod and fixed TPU bumpers at both ends. Position sensing requires the optional -S magnet code ordered with the cylinder; this model has no magnet fitted, so no CMSE or DMSE switch can be mounted unless you specify -S. Mounting options include FA flange, LB foot and I/Y rod knuckles.
