Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X250
The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X250 is a genuine double acting ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 250mm 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 ACE100X250
This AirTAC ACE100X250 is a double acting compact cylinder delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, with a 250 mm stroke and a 20 mm hard-chrome plated rod. Its ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into tight machine frames and guarding where a full-length cylinder would not. The hard-anodized aluminium body and roller-burnished bore resist wear in continuous cycling, while the fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke impact.
For real-world sizing, plan for about 2356 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa, which is roughly 240 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 safety margin. The 1/4" port and M12x1.75 female rod thread match standard ISO 21287 accessories. This model has no magnet fitted, so it cannot accept CMSE or DMSE sensors; order the optional -S code if you need position sensing.

Where the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X250 Is Used
Heavy Jig Clamping
Use the 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa to clamp large sheet-metal fixtures in a stamping press, where the short body fits under the die shoe without interfering with the press stroke.
Pallet Transfer Stop
Mount this cylinder on a conveyor line to stop and position pallets weighing up to 240 kg, using the 250 mm stroke to extend a stop pin into the flow path.
Machine Guard Lift
Lift a 200 kg safety guard or access door on a packaging machine, relying on the 3769.9 N pull force to retract the rod smoothly and the fixed TPU bumper to prevent slamming at the end of travel.
Is the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X250 the Right Cylinder?
Choose the ACE100X250 when you need a 100 mm bore with a 250 mm stroke for heavy pushing or lifting in a compact envelope. It delivers 3927 N push and 3769.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa, stepping up from the ACE80's 2513.3 N push and down from the ACE125's 6135.9 N push. The 250 mm stroke is within the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it is a catalog item, not a custom order. If you need to hold a load when air pressure is lost, add an external rod lock or pilot check valve, since this cylinder does not lock by itself. For sensor feedback, select the -S version to get the optional magnet for CMSE or DMSE switches.
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 ACE100X250 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 at 1.0 MPa is 800.9 kgf. These figures are based on the 100 mm bore and 20 mm rod diameter.
No, not on this standard model. The ACE100X250 without the -S code has no magnet in the piston, so CMSE or DMSE switches cannot detect its position. If you need sensor feedback, order the ACE100X250S version, which includes the optional magnet for use with those switches.
