The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X100 is a genuine double acting ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 100mm 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 ACE100X100 is a double acting ISO 21287 compact cylinder, pushing with 3927 N and pulling with 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa. Its short body takes about 50% less mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into tight machine frames and guarding where a full-length unit will not. The hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome rod resist wear in continuous cycling.
For a real-world load, plan on about 2356 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa, which lifts roughly 240 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke impact, and the 1/4" port delivers high flow for fast actuation. This model has no magnet, so order the optional -S code if you need to mount CMSE or DMSE switches.

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 ACE100X100 as a short-stroke press ram in a metal stamping die, delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa to form small brackets or washers. The compact body fits between die plates where a longer cylinder would not.
Mount this cylinder on a case packer to push filled cartons onto a conveyor. With 3769.9 N of pull force, it retracts heavy packages reliably, and the fixed TPU bumper prevents shock damage at end of stroke.
Install the ACE100X100 as a pallet stop on a warehouse conveyor line. Its 100 mm stroke extends a stop block to hold pallets, and the compact body allows mounting under the conveyor frame without obstructing the flow path.
Choose this ACE100X100 when you need a 100 mm bore with a 100 mm stroke and a compact envelope. For lighter duty, the ACE80X100 offers 2513.3 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the ACE125X100 steps up to 6135.9 N push. The 100 mm bore is a strong mid-to-high force option for automated assembly and packaging lines. Since this is a plain double acting cylinder, it will not hold a load if air pressure is lost; use a rod lock or pilot check valve for vertical lifting applications. 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. The operating pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
The ACE100X100 has a short body that saves about 50% of the mounting length compared to an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, making it ideal for tight spaces. It uses a fixed TPU bumper at both ends to absorb impact, not an adjustable cushion. The hard-anodized aluminium body and hard-chrome rod ensure durability. Note that this model has no magnet, so order the optional -S code to use CMSE or DMSE sensors.
