Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X160B
The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X160B is a genuine double acting ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 160mm 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 ACE100X160B
This AirTAC ACE100X160B is a double acting compact cylinder that delivers a 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa, making it a solid choice for medium-duty automation. Its ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into tight machine frames and guarding where a full-length cylinder will not. The male rod thread (B code) simplifies direct coupling to a load, and the 1/4" port supports fast cycling.
With a 160 mm stroke and a theoretical max force of 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa, this unit can handle substantial push tasks. At 0.5 MPa, a practical safe working load is about 2356 N (roughly 240 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin), so you can match it to real part weights confidently. The hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome rod resist wear, while the fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke impact without adjustment.

Where the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X160B Is Used
Press Fit Assembly
Use in a bench press to push bearing cups into housings, leveraging the 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa for consistent seating force.
Conveyor Stop Gate
Deploy as a stop gate on a packaging line, extending to block cartons and retracting to let them pass, with the 160 mm stroke covering the lane width.
Clamping Fixture
Mount on a welding jig to clamp sheet metal parts, using the 3769.9 N pull force at 0.5 MPa to hold components securely during tack welding.
Is the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X160B the Right Cylinder?
For lighter duty, consider the ACE80X160 with a 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa, or step up to the ACE125X160 for a 6136 N push if you need more force. This 100 mm bore size balances power and footprint, and the 160 mm stroke suits medium-travel applications. Since this model has no -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSE or DMSE sensors; order the -S code if you need position sensing. Mounting options like FA/FB flange or LB foot bolt directly to the ISO 21287 face, so it drops into standard fixtures.
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 ACE100X160B 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.
No, this model has no magnet because the -S code was not ordered. Without the optional -S magnet, CMSE or DMSE switches cannot be mounted. Order the -S version if you need position sensing.
