The AirTAC ACEJ80~100 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACEJ80X40-20B is a genuine double acting, double rod, adjustable stroke ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 40mm 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 with a trimmable extend stroke, the ACEJ80X40-20B pairs an 80 mm bore with a 40 mm stroke and a male-threaded 20 mm rod (the B code). At 0.5 MPa it pushes 2513.3 N and pulls 2356.2 N; at 0.7 MPa those rise to 3518.6 N and 3298.7 N, with a theoretical ceiling of 512.6 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The -20 suffix is a 20 mm adjustment window: an external stop screw shortens the extend stroke on site anywhere in a 20-40 mm range, so one cylinder can be dialled to several fixture positions without re-plumbing.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which matters on wide platens and gantry beams where every millimetre of envelope counts. FA flanges, LB feet and I/Y rod knuckles bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and a fixed TPU bumper sits at both ends.

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.
| Pressure | Force (both ways) |
|---|---|
| 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. |
| ×40 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -20 | 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 male rod thread takes an I or Y knuckle for a pop-up stop, and the stop screw lets technicians trim the extend position per product size.
The stop screw trims the extend stroke only within the ordered -20 window and acts as a mechanical end stop, not a mid-stroke lock, so the piston still drifts if air is lost. This unit has no magnet (no S code); order the -S variant if CMSE / DMSE switches will be needed later, and pick FA or LB mounting plus a PT or G port thread to match the fixture.
Quick checklist
It is double acting with a 40 mm stroke trimmed by a stop screw within a 20 mm window (usable 20-40 mm), a 20 mm male-threaded rod, 1/8" PT port, 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) operating pressure, 30-500 mm/s speed and a fixed TPU bumper at both ends.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits shallow platens and guarded cells. This version has no magnet; the optional -S code adds one, enabling CMSE or DMSE switches for end-of-stroke signalling. FA flange, LB foot and I/Y rod knuckles mount directly on the ISO 21287 face.
