Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X120
The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X120 is a genuine double acting ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 120mm 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 ACE100X120
The ACE100X120 is a double acting ISO 21287 compact cylinder that delivers 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, making it a strong choice for medium-duty automation. Its hard-anodized aluminium body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into tight machine frames and guarding where a full-length cylinder would not.
With a 120 mm stroke and a 20 mm rod, this model suits applications needing a compact footprint and reliable force. The fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact, and the body has magnet slots, but the magnet is optional and must be ordered with the -S code to enable CMSE or DMSE sensors. For a real part weight, plan to lift about 240 kg vertically at 0.5 MPa with a 2:1 safety margin, since the full 3927 N rating is theoretical.

Where the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X120 Is Used
Press Fit Station
Mount the ACE100X120 in a vertical press to push a bearing into a housing. Its 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa handles the force, and the short body keeps the station height low.
Conveyor Stop Gate
Use the cylinder to raise a stop gate on a packaging line. The 120 mm stroke lifts the gate clear of the product path, and the compact body fits under the conveyor frame.
Clamping Fixture
In a welding jig, the ACE100X120 clamps two sheet metal parts together. The 3769.9 N pull force at 0.5 MPa holds the parts firmly, and the TPU bumper prevents slamming.
Is the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X120 the Right Cylinder?
For a lighter duty, consider the ACE80X120 with 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa, or step up to the ACE125X120 for 6136 N push if you need more force. This 100 mm bore model has a 1/4" port and a female M12x1.75 rod thread, and it accepts FA/FB flanges, LB foot mounts, CA/CB clevises, and other ISO 21287 brackets. Since the magnet is not fitted, order the -S code if you plan to use CMSE or DMSE switches for position sensing.
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 ACE100X120 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 ACE100X120 has a hard-anodized aluminium body that is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits in compact jigs and guards. It uses a fixed TPU bumper at both ends to absorb impact, not an adjustable cushion. The optional -S magnet enables CMSE or DMSE sensors for position feedback.
