Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X175
The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X175 is a genuine double acting ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 175mm 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 ACE100X175
The ACE100X175 is a double acting ISO 21287 compact cylinder that delivers 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, with a 175 mm stroke and a 20 mm hard-chrome plated S45C rod. Its hard-anodized aluminium body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into tight machine frames and guarding where a full-length cylinder will not.
For real work, plan on about 240 kg of safe vertical lift at 0.5 MPa (0.6 x 3927 N divided by 9.81), which gives you a 2:1 margin for a part that weighs roughly 120 kg. The optional -S magnet is not fitted here, so CMSE or DMSE sensors cannot be mounted unless you order the -S code; the fixed TPU bumper at both ends only softens end-of-stroke impact, it does not hold a load.

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 ACE100X175 Is Used
Press Ram for Small Stamping Dies
Use the ACE100X175 as a short-stroke press ram in a stamping die that needs 3927 N of force at 0.5 MPa to form thin sheet metal parts, mounted in a tight die set where a longer cylinder would hit the press frame.
Carton Pusher on a Conveyor
Mount the ACE100X175 sideways on a conveyor line to push cartons weighing up to 120 kg off a merge station, using the 175 mm stroke to clear the belt width and the compact body to fit under a guard rail.
Clamp for a Welding Fixture
In a robotic welding cell, the ACE100X175 can clamp two steel brackets together with 3927 N of force at 0.5 MPa, holding them rigid during the weld cycle, with the short body allowing the clamp to sit close to the weld torch path.
Is the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X175 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing, compare the ACE100X175 against the ACE80X175 (2513 N push at 0.5 MPa) for lighter loads, or step up to the ACE125X175 (6136 N push) for heavier work. This 100 mm bore is a strong mid-range choice for pushing or lifting up to about 240 kg at 0.5 MPa, but remember it is double acting only - it will drift if air pressure is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve for any held position. The 1/4" port and M12x1.75 female rod thread accept standard fittings, and FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot or FTC brackets bolt directly to the ISO 21287 face.
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 ACE100X175 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 at 1.0 MPa is 800.9 kgf. The port is 1/4" and the rod thread is M12x1.75 female.
Yes, it is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a hard-anodized aluminium body that is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. It has a fixed TPU bumper at both ends to absorb impact, not an adjustable air cushion. The optional -S magnet is not included, so CMSE or DMSE sensors require ordering the -S version.
