The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X10 is a genuine double acting ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 10mm stroke, 1/4" 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.
This AirTAC ACE100X10 is a double acting ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a 100 mm bore and a 10 mm stroke, delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. Its hard-anodized aluminium body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into tight machine frames and guarding where a full-length cylinder will not. The fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke impact, and the S45C hard-chrome rod resists wear in repetitive cycles.
For a real-world load estimate, plan for roughly 0.6 times the rated push, which gives about 2356 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa, or about 240 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 safety margin. The 1/4" port and M12x1.75 female rod thread match standard ISO 21287 accessories. This unit has no magnet fitted, so CMSE or DMSE sensors cannot be mounted unless you order the optional -S magnet version.

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.

ACE-family variants: ACE (double acting), ASE / ATE (single acting push / pull), ACED (double rod), ACEJ (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.
Use the ACE100X10 to drive a small press platen in a stamping or forming fixture, where the 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa provides the force to bend thin sheet metal or insert bushings.
Mount this cylinder on a packaging line to raise a stop gate that diverts cartons. The 10 mm stroke is enough to block or release a product, and the compact body fits under the conveyor frame.
In a CNC machining center, use the ACE100X10 to clamp a workpiece in a fixture. The short stroke and high force hold parts securely during drilling or milling, and the fixed TPU bumper prevents shock to the fixture.
Choose the ACE100X10 when you need a short-stroke, high-force actuator in a compact envelope. For lighter duty, the ACE63X10 offers 1558.6 N push at 0.5 MPa, while this 100 mm bore nearly triples that force. If you need more travel, the maximum standard stroke for this bore is 300 mm, and longer strokes are made to order. Remember that this cylinder is double acting and will not hold its position if air pressure is lost; for a held load, add a rod lock or pilot check valve. Mounting options include FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, and FTC brackets, all compatible with the ISO 21287 face.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 3927 N and the pull force is 3769.9 N. At 0.7 MPa, push is 5497.8 N and pull is 5277.9 N. The theoretical maximum force is 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
Yes, it is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder, with a body about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. This model does not come with a magnet, so CMSE or DMSE sensors cannot be used unless you order the optional -S version, which adds the magnet for sensor detection.
