Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X15
The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X15 is a genuine double acting ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 15mm 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 ACE100X15
This AirTAC ACE100X15 is a double acting compact cylinder that delivers 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, making it a strong choice for medium-duty automation. The 100 mm bore with a 15 mm stroke fits where a longer ISO 15552 profile cylinder would not, since the ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length.
With a pull force of 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa, this cylinder can handle retraction loads nearly as heavy as its extension. For a safe working load, plan for about 240 kg of real work at 0.5 MPa, which is roughly 0.6 times the push force, so you can match it to a specific part weight without over-specifying.

Where the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X15 Is Used
Fixture Clamping
Use the 3927 N push force to clamp sheet metal parts in a welding jig, where the short 15 mm stroke keeps the fixture compact and the 1/4" port allows quick air supply.
Carton Ejection
In a packaging line, this cylinder can push filled cartons off a conveyor onto a chute, with the 3769.9 N pull retracting the rod fast enough for cycle rates up to 500 mm/s.
Press Ram
For a small press operation, the 5497.8 N push at 0.7 MPa can stamp or emboss labels onto plastic parts, while the fixed TPU bumper absorbs the end-of-stroke impact without shock.
Is the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X15 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing, compare this 100 mm bore to the 125 mm bore which pushes 6135.9 N at 0.5 MPa, or drop to the 80 mm bore at 2513.3 N if your load is lighter. The 15 mm stroke is well under the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it is a standard off-the-shelf unit. Since this model has no -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSE or DMSE sensors; order the optional -S code if you need position sensing. Mounting options include FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, and FTC brackets, all compatible with 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 ACE100X15 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), with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
The ACE100X15 has a hard-anodized aluminium body that is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into tight machine guards and gantries. It uses a fixed TPU bumper at both ends to absorb impact, and the rod is S45C carbon steel with hard-chrome plating. The optional -S magnet is not fitted here, so CMSE or DMSE sensors are only available if you order the -S version.
