Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X120SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X120SB 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 ACE100X120SB
This AirTAC ACE100X120SB is a double acting compact cylinder that delivers a robust 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa, making it suitable for demanding automation tasks. Its ISO 21287 short body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, allowing it to fit into tight machine frames and guarding where space is at a premium.
With the optional -S magnet fitted, this model is ready for CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches, enabling reliable position sensing. The hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome plated rod ensure long service life, while the fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke impacts. For a 2:1 safety margin on vertical lifts, plan for about 200 kg of real work at 0.5 MPa, not the full 3927 N rating.

Where the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X120SB Is Used
Assembly Press
Use in a benchtop press for pressing bearings into housings, where the 3927 N push force and compact body fit under a guard.
Package Stop Gate
Mount on a conveyor line to raise and lower a stop gate for diverting boxes, using the 120 mm stroke and reliable retraction.
Clamping Fixture
In a CNC machining fixture, clamp parts with 3927 N force; the short profile leaves room for tooling and chip clearance.
Is the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X120SB the Right Cylinder?
For lighter duty, consider the ACE80X120 with a 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa, or step up to the ACE125X120 for a 6135.9 N push. The male rod thread (B code) simplifies mounting with rod-end accessories, and the 1/4" port ensures adequate flow for this bore size. Remember, this cylinder does not hold its position if air pressure is lost; 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 ACE100X120SB FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, push force is 3927 N and 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 magnet is an optional -S feature, and this model includes it. With the magnet, you can mount CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches for position sensing. Without the -S code, no magnet is present.
