Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X120B
The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X120B 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 ACE100X120B
This AirTAC ACE100X120B is a double acting compact cylinder that extends and retracts its 20 mm rod with air pressure on both strokes. The 100 mm bore generates a 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa, which translates to a practical vertical lift of about 240 kg when you apply a 2:1 safety margin.
The ISO 21287 short body is roughly 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits inside tight machine guards and gantries. The male rod thread (B code) simplifies direct coupling, and the hard-anodized aluminium body with a hard-chrome S45C rod resists wear in continuous cycling. This version has no magnet, so CMSE or DMSE sensors cannot be fitted unless you order the optional -S code.

Theoretical Output Force (Ø100mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 3927 N | 3770 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 5498 N | 5278 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 801 kgf | |
Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.

Where the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X120B Is Used
Press Platen Lift
Lift a 200 kg platen on a small stamping press with a 2:1 safety margin using the 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa, while the compact body fits under the press frame.
Conveyor Stop Gate
Drive a 120 mm stop gate on a packaging line to divert cartons, using the 3769.9 N pull stroke to retract the gate quickly without a spring return.
Fixture Clamp
Clamp a heavy weld fixture in an automotive assembly cell with the 5497.8 N push at 0.7 MPa, while the short ISO 21287 body clears the robot path.
Is the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X120B the Right Cylinder?
For lighter indexing tasks, the ACE80X120 offers a 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa, while this ACE100X120B nearly doubles that with 3927 N. If you need more force, step up to the ACE125X120 which pushes 6135.9 N at 0.5 MPa. The 1/4" port matches standard shop air lines, and the male rod thread allows direct attachment of a clevis or rod end without a separate adapter. Since there is no magnet, skip the sensor option unless you add the -S code; for position sensing, order ACE100X120SB instead.
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 ACE100X120B FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, push is 3927 N and pull 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. Operating pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
No, this ACE100X120B has no magnet because the -S code was not ordered. Without the optional -S magnet, CMSE or DMSE switches cannot detect piston position. If you need sensor feedback, order the ACE100X120SB version instead.
