About the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X20
This AirTAC ACE100X20 is a double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, with a 100 mm bore and a 20 mm stroke. Its short body takes up about half the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into tight machine frames where a full-length unit will not.
At 0.5 MPa it pushes with 3927 N and pulls with 3769.9 N, which means a 2:1 safety margin lets it lift about 200 kg vertically. The hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome rod resist wear, while the fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact. This unit has no magnet, so order the optional -S code if you need to fit CMSE or DMSE 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 ACE100X20 Is Used
Press Ram
Use in a small bench press frame to push stamping dies or pierce sheet metal, leveraging the 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa.
Conveyor Stop Gate
Mount on a packaging line to raise a stop gate that halts cartons, with the 20 mm stroke providing quick, repeatable action.
Clamping Fixture
In a CNC workholding jig, this cylinder clamps heavy steel parts during drilling, using the high pull force of 3769.9 N to secure the workpiece.
Is the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X20 the Right Cylinder?
For a lighter duty, consider the ACE80X20 with 2513.3 N push at 0.5 MPa, or step up to the ACE125X20 with 6135.9 N push for heavier loads. This 100 mm bore model suits applications needing high force in a short envelope. Since it is double acting, air extends and retracts the rod, but it will not hold a load if air pressure is lost - use a rod lock or pilot check valve for position holding. The 1/4" port matches standard fittings, and the female M12x1.75 rod thread accepts common attachments.
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 ACE100X20 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 ACE100X20 follows ISO 21287, a compact standard that saves about 50% of the mounting length compared to an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. This makes it ideal for tight spaces. The fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke energy, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE or DMSE sensors.
