Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X15S
The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X15S 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 ACE100X15S
This AirTAC ACE100X15S is a double acting compact cylinder with a 100 mm bore and 15 mm stroke, delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. Its short ISO 21287 body takes about 50% less mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into tight machine frames and guarding where a full-length unit will not.
With the optional -S magnet already fitted, this model works with CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches for reliable position sensing. For real-world sizing, plan on about 240 kg of safe vertical lift at 0.5 MPa (roughly 0.6 times the 3927 N rating), giving you a practical margin for jigs and fixtures.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACE-series (ISO 21287) datasheet. Body: hard-anodized aluminium alloy; piston rod: S45C carbon steel with hard-chrome plating. Rod type: female thread (blank) or male thread (B). Thread options: PT (blank) / G. A built-in magnet is OPTIONAL — add the -S code to fit CMSE / DMSE position sensors.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø100mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 3927 N | 3770 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 5498 N | 5278 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 801 kgf | |
Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.

Where the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X15S Is Used
Fixture Clamping
Use in a CNC fixture to clamp a 200 kg workpiece during drilling; the 3927 N push holds firmly at 0.5 MPa, and the short body fits under the spindle guard.
Carton Ejection
On a packaging line, this cylinder ejects filled cartons (up to 20 kg) from a conveyor onto a chute; the 15 mm stroke is enough to push clear, and the magnet signals each cycle.
Sorting Gate
In a warehouse sorter, mount this cylinder to flip a diverter gate for parcels up to 30 kg; the compact body mounts in a narrow gap between rollers, and the TPU bumper absorbs the impact.
Is the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X15S the Right Cylinder?
For lighter duty in the same compact footprint, consider the ACE80X15S with 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa, or step up to the ACE125X15S for 6136 N push. Since this is a double acting cylinder, it retracts with air, so it will not hold a load if pressure is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve for vertical holding. The 1/4" port suits standard shop air, and the female M12x1.75 rod thread accepts common attachments.
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 ACE100X15S FAQ
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. The operating pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
The ACE100X15S body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder of the same bore, so it fits in confined jigs and machine guards. It has a fixed TPU bumper at both ends to absorb end-of-stroke impact, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE or DMSE switches for position sensing.
