The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X15SB 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.
This AirTAC ACE100X15SB is a double acting ISO 21287 compact cylinder delivering a 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa from its 100 mm bore. The 15 mm stroke suits short-travel indexing tasks, and the fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs impact within the 30-500 mm/s speed range.
The hard-anodized aluminium body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, freeing space in tight machine frames. The male rod thread (B code) simplifies direct coupling, and the fitted -S magnet enables CMSE or DMSE switch mounting for position sensing. For a 2:1 safety margin, plan to lift about 200 kg vertically with this unit at 0.5 MPa, not the full 3927 N rating.

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.
| 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.

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 as a short-stroke press ram in a stamping die to deliver 3927 N of force for embossing or marking operations on metal parts.
Mount vertically at a conveyor station to lift and position pallets precisely, with the 15 mm stroke providing quick, repeatable stops.
In a welding jig, this cylinder holds components firmly with 3927 N push force, while the compact body fits between clamps without interfering with torch access.
For lighter duty at 80 mm bore, the ACE80X15 offers 2513 N push, while stepping up to 125 mm bore gives 6136 N push at 0.5 MPa. This 100 mm bore model balances high force with compact mounting, ideal when space is limited but thrust requirements are substantial. The 1/4" port matches standard industrial fittings, and the male rod thread accepts common couplings without adapters.
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.
The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length compared to an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, allowing installation in tight spaces. The fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE or DMSE switch mounting for position feedback.
