Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X120S
The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X120S 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 ACE100X120S
This AirTAC ACE100X120S is a double acting ISO 21287 compact cylinder that extends and retracts its 20 mm rod with air pressure on both strokes. It delivers a 3927 N push and 3769.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa, so it suits heavy clamping and pressing tasks in tight spaces.
The hard-anodized aluminium body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, freeing valuable room in machine guards and gantries. The optional -S magnet is fitted here, enabling CMSE or DMSE switches for reliable end-of-stroke sensing. For a 2:1 safety margin, plan to lift about 200 kg vertically with this unit at 0.5 MPa, based on its push force.

Where the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X120S Is Used
Fixture Clamping
Clamp large automotive body panels in a welding jig with 3927 N of force at 0.5 MPa, holding parts firmly during robotic spot welding operations.
Carton Pressing
Press and flatten cardboard bales in a recycling line, using the 120 mm stroke to compress material before strapping, with the compact body fitting under existing conveyors.
Pallet Stops
Actuate a pallet stop on a gravity conveyor, using the 3927 N push to raise a heavy steel stop and the magnet-fitted sensors to confirm the pallet's position.
Is the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X120S the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 100 mm bore when you need 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires less force, the 63 mm bore offers 1558.6 N push, while the 125 mm bore steps up to 6135.9 N push at the same pressure. This 120 mm stroke is within the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it ships as a standard unit. The fitted -S magnet allows direct mounting of CMSE or DMSE sensors for position feedback. For mounting, use FA or FB flanges, LB foot brackets, or CA/CB clevis mounts that bolt to the ISO 21287 face.
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 ACE100X120S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 3927 N and the pull force is 3769.9 N. At 0.7 MPa, push increases to 5497.8 N and pull to 5277.9 N. The theoretical maximum force is 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The ACE100X120S body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into tight jigs, guards, and gantries where a full-length cylinder would not. It uses a fixed TPU bumper at both ends to absorb end-of-stroke impact, and the optional -S magnet allows CMSE or DMSE switches for position sensing.
