The AirTAC ACEJ80~100 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACEJ80X160-40S is a genuine double acting, double rod, adjustable stroke ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 160mm 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 ACEJ80X160-40S is a double acting, adjustable-stroke compact cylinder built to ISO 21287: an 80 mm bore with a 160 mm stroke, a 20 mm hard-chrome S45C rod and 1/8" ports. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 2513.3 N and pulls 2356.2 N; at 0.7 MPa those figures rise to 3518.6 N and 3298.7 N, with a theoretical ceiling of 512.6 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The -40 code adds an external stop screw that trims the extend stroke anywhere in a 40 mm window, so the working range is 120-160 mm, set on site with a spanner rather than a new order.
The hard-anodized aluminium body is about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why this bore class fits inside press guards, weld fixtures and gantry frames that full-length bodies cannot enter. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke impact, and the fitted -S magnet lets CMSE or DMSE switches report end positions.

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 | 2356 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 3299 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 481 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.
Short ISO 21287 body slides under press bolsters where an ISO 15552 profile cylinder would not fit, pushing finished blanks off the die at up to 500 mm/s.
If your load sits under 981.7 N, the 50 mm bore does the same job in less space; if you need over 3518.6 N, step up to the 100 mm bore. Remember the stop screw only shortens the extend stroke within the 40 mm window and never holds a load on air loss. FA flange, LB foot and FTC brackets bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and this unit already carries the -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switching.
Quick checklist
For sizing, plan on about 60% of the push figure, roughly 1500 N of usable work, and expect around 128 kg of vertical lift at 0.5 MPa before any safety margin. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, air filtered to 40 um.
The -40 code means an external stop screw limits the extend stroke anywhere within a 40 mm window, giving a usable range of 120-160 mm; it shortens the stroke only and acts as an end stop, not a mid-stroke lock, so the rod still drifts if air is lost. A fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke impact. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be mounted in the body slots for end-position sensing. FA flange and LB foot mounts bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face.
