Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X20S
The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X20S 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 ACE100X20S
This AirTAC ACE100X20S is a double acting ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a 100 mm bore and 20 mm stroke, delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. 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 won't.
The 20 mm S45C hard-chrome rod has a female M12x1.75 thread, and the 1/4" port keeps installation simple. With the optional -S magnet fitted, this unit works with CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches for reliable position sensing. As a working rule, plan for about 240 kg of real force at 0.5 MPa, which is roughly 0.6 times the rated push, so you can match it to actual part weights with confidence.

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 ACE100X20S Is Used
Die Stamping Press
Use in a die stamping press to lift a 200 kg stripper plate with a 20 mm stroke, fitting between the die set and bolster plate where a longer cylinder would not fit.
Clamping Station
Mount on a robotic work cell to clamp a heavy steel bracket during CNC drilling, using the 3927 N push to hold parts firmly at 0.5 MPa.
Carton Ejector
Install in a packaging line to push filled cartons off a conveyor onto a pallet, with the short stroke cycling at up to 500 mm/s for high throughput.
Is the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X20S the Right Cylinder?
For a lighter duty in the same compact family, consider the ACE80X20 with 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa, or step up to the ACE125X20 for 6136 N push. This 100 mm bore version suits applications needing a strong, short-stroke actuator in a confined space. Since the magnet is fitted, pair it with a CMSE or DMSE switch; if you need to hold a load when air is removed, add a rod lock or pilot check valve as the cylinder alone will drift.
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 ACE100X20S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, push force is 3927 N and 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. Operating pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
The ACE100X20S 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 end-of-stroke impact, and the optional -S magnet allows CMSE or DMSE switch mounting for position feedback.
