Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X20SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X20SB 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 ACE100X20SB
This AirTAC ACE100X20SB is a double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, with a 100 mm bore and a 20 mm stroke. It delivers a 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa, so it suits heavy clamping and pressing tasks in a short envelope.
Its hard-anodized aluminium body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, freeing space in tight fixtures. The optional -S magnet is fitted here, enabling CMSE or DMSE switches for reliable position sensing. For a real workload, plan on about 240 kg of usable force at 0.5 MPa, which is roughly 60% of the rated push, giving you a safe margin for production duty.

Where the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X20SB Is Used
Heavy Clamping Fixture
Use the 3927 N push to clamp large metal workpieces in a CNC machining fixture, holding parts securely during milling or drilling operations.
Press Operation
Drive a small arbor press or stamping die with the 20 mm stroke, applying consistent force for bending or embossing sheet metal components.
Automated Sorting Gate
With the fitted -S magnet, mount CMSE switches to detect the rod position and control a diverting gate on a packaging line, sorting boxes by size.
Is the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X20SB the Right Cylinder?
Choose this ACE100X20SB when you need a high-force compact cylinder with a short stroke and a male rod thread. It produces 3927 N push and 3769.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. For lighter work, the ACE80X20 offers 2513.3 N push, while the ACE125X20 steps up to 6135.9 N push at the same pressure. The 1/4" port matches standard shop air lines, and the fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact without adjustable damping. Since this model has the -S magnet, you can mount CMSE or DMSE sensors to confirm rod position; without the -S code, no magnet is present. Remember, this cylinder does not hold its load if air pressure drops, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve for vertical lifting.
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 ACE100X20SB 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. The operating pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), and the proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
Yes, it is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a hard-anodized aluminium body, about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. This model includes the optional -S magnet, so you can mount CMSE or DMSE switches for position sensing. The fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs impact, but it does not provide adjustable cushioning or load holding.
