The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X125SBFTC is a genuine double acting ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 125mm 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 ACE100X125SBFTC is a double acting ISO 21287 compact cylinder delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. Its short body saves about 50% of the mounting length compared to an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, making it ideal for tight automation cells. The optional -S magnet is fitted here, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be mounted for position sensing.
The 100 mm bore with a 125 mm stroke uses a hard-anodized aluminium body and an S45C carbon-steel rod with hard-chrome plating. At 0.5 MPa, the pull force is 3769.9 N, and at 0.7 MPa push rises to 5497.8 N. For a safe working load, plan around 2356 N (about 240 kg) at 0.5 MPa to keep a 2:1 margin for real applications.

ACE-family variants: ACE (double acting), ASE / ATE (single acting push / pull), ACED (double rod), ACEJ (adjustable stroke), TACE / TACED (non-rotating twin-guide yoke). Mounting accessories: FA / FB flange, LB foot, CA / CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, FTC; plus I and Y knuckles. Thread PT (blank) / G.
Use in a benchtop press for inserting bearings into housings, where 3927 N at 0.5 MPa provides the force to seat parts consistently.
Mount with FTC bracket to a conveyor frame to raise and lower a stop gate, handling 125 mm stroke to control product flow on a packaging line.
In a CNC machining fixture, this cylinder clamps a 100 mm workpiece with 3927 N, holding it securely during drilling operations.
For lighter duty, consider the ACE80X125 with 2513.3 N push at 0.5 MPa, or step up to the ACE125X125 for 6135.9 N push. This model's 1/4" port suits standard shop air, and the FTC mounting bracket provides a rigid fixed mount. The male rod thread (B code) simplifies attachment of custom tooling, and the fitted magnet allows easy sensor integration.
Quick checklist
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).
The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into tight spaces like guard enclosures or gantries. The fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke impact, and the optional -S magnet (fitted here) allows CMSE or DMSE switches for position sensing.
