The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X225B 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 ACE100X225B is a double acting compact cylinder that delivers 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, making it a strong choice for medium-duty automation. Its 100 mm bore and 225 mm stroke fit into tight spaces, as the ISO 21287 body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, saving valuable mounting length on your machine.
At 0.7 MPa, the push force rises to 5497.8 N, and the theoretical maximum is 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. For a safe working load, plan for about 2356 N (0.6 times the 0.5 MPa push) to account for friction and dynamic loads. The male rod thread (B code) simplifies attachment, but note this model has no magnet, so CMSE or DMSE sensors cannot be mounted unless you order the optional -S version.

| 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.

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 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa to press bushings or bearings into housings on an assembly line, with the compact body fitting under a guard.
Actuate a stop gate on a packaging conveyor, where the 225 mm stroke lifts a barrier to release cartons, and the short body mounts beside the frame.
Clamp sheet metal parts in a welding jig, using the high pull force of 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa to hold components securely during robotic welding.
When sizing, compare this 100 mm bore with the 80 mm bore, which offers 2513.3 N push at 0.5 MPa, or the 125 mm bore with 6135.9 N push. For a 225 mm stroke, this cylinder suits applications needing moderate travel with high force. Since it lacks the optional -S magnet, choose the -S code if you need position sensing via CMSE or DMSE switches. The fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impacts, but it does not hold a load if air pressure is lost; use a rod lock or pilot check valve for load holding.
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), with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
The ACE100X225B has a hard-anodized aluminium body that is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into tight jigs and gantries. It uses a fixed TPU bumper at both ends to absorb impact, and the rod is S45C steel with hard-chrome plating. Since this model has no magnet, order the -S code to enable CMSE or DMSE sensors.
