Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X100SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X100SB 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.

About the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X100SB
This AirTAC ACE100X100SB is a double acting compact cylinder that extends and retracts its 20 mm rod with air pressure, delivering a 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa. Its ISO 21287 short body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into tight guarding and gantry sections where a full-length unit will not. The hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome plated rod resist wear in continuous cycling.
With the optional -S magnet fitted, this model accepts CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches for end-of-stroke sensing. For real-world sizing, plan on about 240 kg of safe vertical work at 0.5 MPa (roughly 0.6 times the 3927 N rating), which gives a practical margin for a 100 mm bore unit. The fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs energy at stroke limits, but it does not lock or hold a load if air pressure is lost.

Where the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X100SB Is Used
Press Platen Positioning
Use the ACE100X100SB to advance a platen in a small stamping press, where its 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa moves a 240 kg die set into place. The compact body fits under the press frame, and the male rod thread mounts a custom die adapter.
Conveyor Stop Gate
Mount this cylinder on a packaging line to raise a stop gate that diverts boxes. The 3769.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa retracts the gate quickly, and the optional -S magnet triggers a CMSE switch to confirm the gate is clear.
Pallet Clamp
In a warehouse transfer station, the ACE100X100SB clamps pallets during strapping. Its 100 mm stroke provides enough travel to grip different pallet widths, and the fixed TPU bumper prevents shock damage to the load at the end of each cycle.
Is the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X100SB the Right Cylinder?
For a lighter duty, the ACE80X100 offers a 2513.3 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the ACE125X100 steps up to 6135.9 N push at 0.5 MPa for heavier loads. This 100 mm bore model suits applications needing a balance of force and compactness. The male rod thread (B) simplifies attachment of custom tooling, and the 1/4" port matches standard shop air lines. Since this model has the -S magnet, you can add CMSE or DMSE switches for position feedback. Remember, this cylinder does not hold its position when air is removed; use a rod lock or pilot check valve for load holding.
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 ACE100X100SB 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. These figures are based on the 100 mm bore and 20 mm rod.
The ACE100X100SB has a short body that saves about 50% of the mounting length compared to an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. This lets you fit it into machine guards, gantries, or fixtures where a longer cylinder would not fit. The fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact, but it is not a load-holding brake.
