The AirTAC ACEJ80~100 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACEJ80X160-50 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 ACEJ80X160-50 is a double acting ISO 21287 compact cylinder with an adjustable extend stroke: an external stop screw trims the 160 mm stroke by up to 50 mm on site, giving a usable range of 110-160 mm without swapping the cylinder. At 0.5 MPa the 80 mm bore pushes 2513.3 N and pulls 2356.2 N, rising to 3518.6 N on the extend stroke at 0.7 MPa.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so this 80 mm bore fits presses, gantries and guarding where a full-length body will not. A hard-anodized aluminium body carries an S45C hard-chrome plated 20 mm rod, fixed TPU bumpers absorb end-of-stroke energy at both ends, and FA flange or LB foot mounts plus I/Y rod knuckles bolt straight to the standard face. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s over 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) of clean, 40 um filtered air.

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).

|---|---|
| 80 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×160 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -50 | Adjustable stroke window (mm the extend stroke can be shortened on site). |

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.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it clamps workpieces inside tight CNC gantry guards where a full-length 80 mm bore body would foul the frame.
Remember the stop screw only shortens the extend stroke and is not a mid-stroke lock; on air loss the rod still drifts, so add a separate holding valve if the load must stay put. FA flange and LB foot mounts suit fixed fixtures, and if you need position feedback, order the -S variant so CMSE / DMSE switches can ride the body - this model has no magnet fitted.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 2513.3 N and pulls 2356.2 N; at 0.7 MPa push is 3518.6 N and pull 3298.7 N, with a theoretical maximum of 512.6 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The -50 code sets a 50 mm adjustment window: an external stop screw shortens the 160 mm extend stroke to any length from 110 to 160 mm. It is a mechanical end stop only - it never holds or brakes a load, and the rod drifts if air is lost. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, air filtered to 40 um.
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 20 mm rod and fixed TPU bumpers at both ends. This version has no magnet, so no sensor can be mounted - order the -S code to enable CMSE / DMSE switches. FA flange, LB foot and FTC brackets plus I and Y rod knuckles bolt to the standard face; the rod end is female M12x1.75 and the port is 1/8" PT.
