The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X10S 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 ACE100X10S is a double acting ISO 21287 compact cylinder, delivering a 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa from its 100 mm bore. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, fitting into tight machine frames where a full-length unit cannot go.
With a 10 mm stroke, this model is built for precise, short-travel motions. The optional -S magnet is fitted here, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be mounted for position sensing. For a safe working load, plan for about 2356 N (0.6 times the push force) at 0.5 MPa, which translates to lifting roughly 240 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.

Use the ACE100X10S to eject cast parts from a die with a short, powerful 10 mm stroke, leveraging 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa to break the part free.
In a stamping press, this cylinder can act as a positive stop for the platen, using its 100 mm bore to hold position during the cycle with air pressure applied.
On an automated conveyor, mount the ACE100X10S to clamp pallets in place for precise positioning, with the 10 mm stroke providing quick engagement and release.
For a 100 mm bore, this cylinder provides high force in a compact package. If your application needs less force, consider the 80 mm bore ACE80X10S with 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa; for more, the 125 mm bore ACE125X10S offers 6136 N push. The 10 mm stroke suits short indexing or clamping tasks, and the fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke energy without adjustment.
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 ACE100X10S body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into tight spaces. It has a hard-anodized aluminium body and a fixed TPU bumper at both ends, which absorbs end-of-stroke impact. The optional -S magnet is fitted, allowing CMSE or DMSE switches for position sensing.
