The AirTAC ACEJ80~100 Adjustable Compact Cylinder ACEJ80X40-20SB 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.
The ACEJ80X40-20SB is a double acting, adjustable-stroke compact cylinder built to ISO 21287. The -20 code gives a 20 mm adjustment window: an external stop screw trims the 40 mm extend stroke down to 20 mm on site, so one cylinder covers a 20-40 mm range without reordering. The male rod thread (B code) and PT ports suit direct tooling attachment.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome-plated 20 mm rod keeps the short ISO 21287 footprint, saving about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder - useful in press fixtures and guarded cells where depth is scarce. This unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches can be fitted for end-position sensing, and fixed TPU bumpers absorb end-of-stroke shock 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. |

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.
Roughly 1508 N of usable clamp force holds steel castings on machining-centre jigs; the short ISO 21287 body fits where a full-length profile cylinder will not.
Size against neighbours: a 63 mm bore pushes 1558.6 N at 0.5 MPa, while a 100 mm bore reaches 3927.0 N - pick the 80 mm when your clamping or pressing load sits between those bands. Remember the stop screw is a mechanical end stop for the extend stroke, not a mid-stroke lock: on air loss the piston still drifts, so add a separate holding valve for suspended loads. FA flange or LB foot mountings bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the fitted -S magnet lets CMSE / DMSE switches report position. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
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; theoretical maximum is 512.6 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It is double acting with an adjustable extend stroke: the -20 stop screw trims the 40 mm stroke within a 20 mm window (usable 20-40 mm). Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, port 1/8" PT, male rod thread.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder: hard-anodized aluminium body, S45C hard-chrome-plated 20 mm rod, threaded aluminium covers and fixed TPU bumpers at both ends that only decelerate at stroke ends - they never lock or hold a load. The body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be mounted; FA flange and LB foot mountings bolt straight on.
