Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X20B
The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X20B is a genuine double acting ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 20mm 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 ACE100X20B
The ACE100X20B is a double acting ISO 21287 compact cylinder that extends and retracts its 20 mm stroke with air pressure on both sides, delivering a 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa. Its short body takes up about 50% less mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which lets you fit it into tight machine guards and gantries where a full-length unit will not go.
With a 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa, plan for roughly 2356 N of usable work after a 0.6 safety factor, which equals lifting about 240 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. This model has a male rod thread (B code) and no magnet, so the optional -S code is required if you later want to fit CMSE or DMSE switches for position sensing.

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 ACE100X20B Is Used
Fixture Clamping
Use the 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa to clamp sheet metal parts in a CNC machining fixture, where the 20 mm stroke is enough to secure the workpiece without taking up extra space.
Carton Ejection
In a packaging line, this cylinder's short stroke and 3769.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa can retract a pusher arm to eject filled cartons onto a conveyor, fitting inside the machine frame.
Press Guard Interlock
Mount this compact cylinder to lift a safety guard on a small press; the 240 kg vertical-lift margin at 0.5 MPa handles the guard weight with a 2:1 safety factor, and the short body fits under the guard frame.
Is the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X20B the Right Cylinder?
For a lighter duty in the same compact family, the ACE80X20 gives 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the ACE125X20 raises the push to 6135.9 N at 0.5 MPa for heavier clamping or pressing tasks. Since this ACE100X20B has no magnet, order the -S version if you need to detect piston position with reed or solid-state switches; without -S, no sensor can be mounted on the body.
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 ACE100X20B 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 is 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. These figures assume clean, dry air at the rated pressure.
The ACE100X20B has a hard-anodized aluminium body that is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, saving space in tight fixtures. It has a fixed TPU bumper at both ends to absorb impact, but it does not lock or hold a load. This model has no magnet, so you must order the -S version to fit CMSE or DMSE switches for position sensing.
