The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X225 is a genuine double acting ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 225mm 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.
This AirTAC ACE100X225 is a double acting compact cylinder with a 100 mm bore and 225 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 will not. The fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke energy, and the S45C hard-chrome rod resists wear in repetitive cycles.
For real-world sizing, plan for about 240 kg of usable vertical lift at 0.5 MPa (roughly 0.6 times the 3927 N rating, divided by gravity). This model has no magnet fitted, so it cannot accept CMSE or DMSE sensors; order the optional -S code if you need position sensing. With a 1/4" port and PT thread, it suits air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).

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.

ACE-family variants: ACE (double acting), ASE / ATE (single acting push / pull), ACED (double rod), ACEJ (adjustable stroke), TACE / TACED (non-rotating twin-guide yoke). Mounting accessories: FA / FB flange, LB foot, CA / CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, FTC; plus I and Y knuckles. Thread PT (blank) / G.
Use the ACE100X225 to clamp large metal workpieces in a CNC milling fixture. Its 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa holds parts firmly during cutting, and the short body fits under a machine guard where a longer cylinder would not.
Mount this cylinder on a conveyor line to raise and lower a pallet stop. The 225 mm stroke clears tall pallets, and the 3769.9 N pull retracts the stop quickly. The fixed TPU bumper reduces shock when the stop hits its end position.
In a small press brake, this ACE100X225 acts as a forming ram. Its 5497.8 N push at 0.7 MPa bends sheet metal up to 2 mm thick. The compact body allows a low-profile press frame, saving floor space in a fabrication shop.
Choose this ACE100X225 when you need a 100 mm bore with a 225 mm stroke and a compact footprint. It produces 3927 N push and 3769.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa, so it handles heavy clamping or pressing tasks. For lighter duty, the ACE63X225 offers 1558.6 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the ACE125X225 steps up to 6135.9 N push. Since this is a double acting cylinder, it does not hold position if air pressure is lost; add a rod lock or pilot check valve for load holding. The optional -S magnet enables CMSE or DMSE switches, and FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, or FTC brackets mount directly to the ISO 21287 face.
Quick checklist
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. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), and proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
Yes, this is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a hard-anodized aluminium body that is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. It has a fixed TPU bumper at both ends, not an adjustable cushion. This model has no magnet, so it cannot mount CMSE or DMSE sensors; you must order the optional -S code to get the magnet for sensor use.
