About the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X160SB
This AirTAC ACE100X160SB is a double acting ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a 100 mm bore and a 160 mm stroke, delivering a 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa. Its hard-anodized aluminum body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, letting it fit into tight machine frames and guarding where a full-length cylinder won't.
With the optional -S magnet 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 (3927 N divided by 9.81, then halved for a 2:1 safety margin), making it a solid choice for lifting fixtures or pressing light assemblies.

Where the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X160SB Is Used
Press Fit Station
Use in a benchtop press to insert bushings into aluminum housings, leveraging the 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa for consistent force.
Conveyor Stop Gate
Mount on a packaging line to raise and lower a stop gate, with the 160 mm stroke clearing the path for cartons and the magnet signaling position to a PLC.
Fixture Clamp
In a CNC machining cell, clamp a steel bracket during drilling operations; the compact body fits under the spindle guard and the 3769.9 N pull retracts the rod for part loading.
Is the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X160SB the Right Cylinder?
For a lighter duty, consider the ACE80X160 with a 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa, or step up to the ACE125X160 for 6136 N push at the same pressure. This 100 mm bore model suits medium-to-heavy automation tasks where space is limited but force is needed. Since the rod is male-threaded (B code) and the port is 1/4" PT, verify your mounting bracket and fittings match these connections. The fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact, but it does not hold a load in position if air pressure is lost; use a rod lock or pilot check valve for vertical holding.
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 ACE100X160SB 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 ACE100X160SB's body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into tight spaces like machine guards or gantries. It has a fixed TPU bumper at both ends to absorb impact, and the optional -S magnet allows CMSE or DMSE switches to detect the piston position. The port is 1/4" PT, and the rod has a male thread.
