The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X175SB 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.
This AirTAC ACE100X175SB is a double acting ISO 21287 compact cylinder that extends and retracts its 20 mm rod with air pressure on both strokes. At 0.5 MPa it delivers 3927 N of push force and 3769.9 N of pull, while at 0.7 MPa the push rises to 5497.8 N, making it a strong choice for medium-duty automation.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits inside tight machine guards and gantries where a full-length cylinder will not. The optional -S magnet is fitted on this model, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can sense the piston position. As a buyer insight, plan for about 2356 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa, which is roughly 240 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 safety margin, so match it to real part weights rather than the full 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 the 3927 N push force to clamp sheet metal parts in a welding jig, where the short body keeps the cylinder inside the fixture envelope and the male rod thread simplifies attachment.
Mount this cylinder on a packaging line to raise a stop gate that diverts cartons, relying on the 3769.9 N pull stroke to retract quickly and the TPU bumper to absorb the end-of-stroke impact.
In a stamping press, use the ACE100X175SB to slide a safety guard into position, where the 175 mm stroke matches the guard travel and the compact body fits under the machine frame.
For a lighter duty on the same 1/4" port, consider the ACE80X175 with 2513.3 N push at 0.5 MPa, or step up to the ACE125X175 for 6135.9 N push if your fixture needs more force. The 175 mm stroke is within the 300 mm standard maximum for this bore, so no custom order is needed. Since the magnet is fitted, pair it with a CMSE or DMSE switch for position sensing, and use FA or FB flange mounts to bolt directly into an ISO 21287 fixture.
Quick checklist
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 is 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. These numbers assume clean, dry air filtered to 40 um.
It follows ISO 21287, so the body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, letting it fit into tight spaces. The fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs energy at stroke end, but it is not adjustable and does not lock the rod; for holding a load, use a rod lock or pilot check valve.
