About the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X100
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.

Where the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X100 Is Used
Press Ram for Metal Stamping
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.
Carton Ejector in Case Packer
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.
Pallet Stops in Conveyor System
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.
Is the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X100 the Right Cylinder?
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
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Short stroke fits the compact body
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G)
- ✓ Add -S if you need the magnet for sensors
- ✓ Rod type (female / male B) & mount (FA/LB/CA)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Compact body: keep the stroke short and avoid side load on the rod.
- check Do not dismantle the threaded front/back covers.
- check Keep speed within the rated range; the TPU bumper absorbs stroke-end energy.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X100 FAQ
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.
