The AirTAC ACEJ80~100 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACEJ80X250-40S is a genuine double acting, double rod, adjustable stroke ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 250mm 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 AirTAC ACEJ with an adjustable extend stroke, the ACEJ80X250-40S pairs an 80 mm bore with a 250 mm stroke that a stop screw can trim by up to 40 mm on site, giving a usable range of 210-250 mm. 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. In practice, plan on roughly 1508 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which is about 154 kg of vertical push once you keep a working margin.
The hard-anodized aluminium body is an ISO 21287 compact build whose short profile saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into presses, gantries and guarded cells where a full-length body will not reach. The S code means the magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clipped onto the body for end-of-stroke signalling. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, the rod is S45C steel with hard-chrome plating, and ports are 1/8" PT.

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.

| 0.7 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.
The short ISO 21287 body fits under conveyor frames where an ISO 15552 profile cylinder would hang below the line, pushing rejected cartons or totes sideways off a 600 mm belt at up to 500 mm/s.
For jigs that clamp castings during milling or drilling, the 210-250 mm adjustable range reaches over tall workpieces, and the fitted magnet with CMSE / DMSE switches confirms clamp completion before the spindle starts.
If the machine only needs to lift a 250 kg die or fixture, this bore covers it with room to spare; if the load creeps past 350 kg at working pressure, move up. Remember the stop screw is a mechanical end stop for tuning the extend stroke, not a mid-stroke lock - on air loss the piston will still drift, so use a separate valve or lock for load holding. FA flange and LB foot mountings bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the fitted -S magnet accepts CMSE / DMSE switches without modification.
Quick checklist
The -40 code is a 40 mm adjustment window: an external stop screw shortens the 250 mm extend stroke by up to 40 mm, so the working range is 210-250 mm. It runs double acting on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C, with a fixed TPU bumper at both ends.
This is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder whose short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it fits tight guards and sub-plate fixtures. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount directly in the body slots for end-of-stroke detection. Mounting options include FA flange and LB foot, and the rod end is female M12x1.75 with a 1/8" PT port.
