About the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X20SFTC
This ACE100X20SFTC is a double acting compact cylinder from AirTAC, built to ISO 21287 with a hard-anodized aluminium body and a hard-chrome plated S45C steel rod. At 0.5 MPa it delivers 3927 N of push force, which means you can plan for about 240 kg of safe vertical lifting when you apply a 2:1 margin, making it a strong choice for medium-weight automation tasks.
The short ISO 21287 body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length compared to an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into tight machine frames and guarding where a full-length unit will not. This model includes the optional -S magnet, so you can mount CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches for position sensing, and the FTC mounting bracket is ordered separately for direct installation.

Where the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X20SFTC Is Used
Fixture Clamping
Use the 3927 N push force to clamp large workpieces in a CNC milling fixture, where the short body fits under the spindle guard and the 20 mm stroke is enough to secure parts up to 240 kg.
Carton Compression
In a packaging line, this cylinder can press down on filled cartons to settle contents before sealing, with the 20 mm stroke providing a quick, controlled tamp and the TPU bumper preventing shock to the product.
Press Operation
For a small bench press or stamping operation, the ACE100X20SFTC delivers 5497.8 N at 0.7 MPa, enough to form thin metal parts or insert bearings, while the compact body saves space on the workbench.
Is the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X20SFTC the Right Cylinder?
When sizing, compare this 100 mm bore unit with the 80 mm bore ACE80 which pushes 2513 N at 0.5 MPa, or step up to the 125 mm bore ACE125 that delivers 6135.9 N for heavier loads. For this 20 mm stroke, the fixed TPU bumper handles end-of-stroke impact, but remember that the cylinder does not hold its position when air pressure is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve if you need to hold a load.
The FTC mounting accessory bolts to the ISO 21287 face, and with the -S magnet fitted you can wire in CMSE or DMSE sensors for reliable position feedback. The 1/4" port matches standard flow requirements for this bore size, 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 ACE100X20SFTC 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 port is 1/4" and the rod thread is M12x1.75.
The ACE100X20SFTC has a short body that saves about 50% of the mounting length compared to an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits in tight spaces. It uses a fixed TPU bumper at both ends to absorb impact, and the optional -S magnet allows CMSE or DMSE sensors for position feedback.
