About the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X100S
This AirTAC ACE100X100S is a double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, with a hard-anodized aluminium body and a hard-chrome plated S45C steel rod. At 0.5 MPa it delivers 3927 N of push force and 3769.9 N of pull force, making it a strong choice for medium-heavy automation tasks.
Its short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into tight guarding and gantry layouts. With the optional -S magnet fitted, you can mount CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches for position sensing. For real work, plan on about 2356 N (0.6 times the push force) as a safe working load, which equals lifting roughly 240 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.

Where the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X100S Is Used
Press Platen
Use in a small press platen to apply 3927 N of clamping force at 0.5 MPa for stamping or forming thin metal parts.
Conveyor Stop Gate
Actuate a stop gate on a packaging conveyor, where the 100 mm stroke and 3769.9 N pull force retract the gate quickly to release products.
Machine Guard Door
Drive a sliding machine guard door on a CNC lathe, using the compact body to fit within the machine enclosure and the 3927 N push to move the heavy door.
Is the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X100S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing, compare this 100 mm bore with the 80 mm bore (2513.3 N push at 0.5 MPa) for lighter loads, or step up to the 125 mm bore (6135.9 N push at 0.5 MPa) if you need more force. The 100 mm stroke is standard for this bore, and the 1/4" port suits typical shop air supplies. Remember, a plain ACE does not hold position when air is lost; for holding a load, add a rod lock or pilot check valve.
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 ACE100X100S 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).
The ACE100X100S has a short body that saves about 50% of the mounting length compared to an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is ideal for tight spaces. It uses a fixed TPU bumper at both ends to absorb end-of-stroke impact, not an adjustable cushion. The optional -S magnet allows mounting CMSE or DMSE sensors for position feedback.
