About the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X15B
This AirTAC ACE100X15B is a double acting ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a 100 mm bore and a 15 mm stroke, delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. Its short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, making it ideal for tight automation cells where space is at a premium.
With a male rod thread (B code) and a 1/4" port, it is ready for direct linkage. For a safe working load, plan for about 2356 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which translates to lifting roughly 240 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke energy, and the hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod ensures long service life.

Where the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X15B Is Used
Press Fit Station
Use the 3927 N push force to press small bushings or bearings into housings on an assembly line, where the short stroke and compact body fit under a guard.
Lift Gate on Packaging Line
In a carton erector, this cylinder can lift a light gate or stop plate vertically, leveraging its 240 kg safe lift capacity to position boxes precisely.
Clamping in CNC Fixture
Mount on a jig to clamp a workpiece during drilling or milling, using the 15 mm stroke for quick engagement and the rigid body to resist vibration.
Is the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X15B the Right Cylinder?
When sizing, compare this 100 mm bore unit against the 80 mm bore (2513 N push) and the 125 mm bore (6136 N push) at 0.5 MPa to match your force needs. The 15 mm stroke is well within the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it is a standard offering. Since this model has no -S code, it has no magnet; order the -S option if you need to mount CMSE or DMSE sensors. The male rod thread simplifies attachment to a load, and the compact body fits into fixtures where a longer ISO 15552 profile cylinder would not.
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 ACE100X15B 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 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits in tight spaces like under machine guards or inside gantries. It has a fixed TPU bumper at both ends to absorb impact, and the optional -S magnet (not on this model) enables CMSE or DMSE sensors for position sensing.
