About the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X250B
This AirTAC ACE100X250B is a double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, with a 100 mm bore and a 250 mm stroke. Its hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome plated rod resist wear in demanding cycles, and the fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke impact.
At 0.5 MPa it delivers 3927 N push and 3769.9 N pull, so plan for about 2356 N of real work to keep a 2:1 safety margin. The short ISO 21287 body saves roughly half the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, letting it fit into tight machine frames where a longer unit will not. Because this order has no -S code, there is no magnet fitted, so CMSE or DMSE sensors cannot be added without ordering the optional magnet version.

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.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø100mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 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.

Where the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X250B Is Used
Press Platen Positioning
Use the 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa to move a 200 kg press platen into a stamping die, with the short body fitting between the frame rails.
Heavy Conveyor Stop Gate
In a packaging line, this cylinder can raise a 150 kg stop gate to divert cartons, relying on the 3769.9 N pull to retract the gate quickly.
Pallet Clamp on a Lift Table
Mount this 100 mm bore unit on a scissor lift to clamp pallets during transfer, using the 250 mm stroke to accommodate varying pallet heights.
Is the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X250B the Right Cylinder?
For a lighter indexing task, the ACE80X250 offers 2513.3 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the ACE125X250 gives 6135.9 N push for heavier lifting. This 100 mm bore unit suits mid-range automation where 3927 N at 0.5 MPa is enough, but always verify the load can be held: this plain cylinder will drift if air pressure is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve for position holding. The male rod thread (B code) simplifies coupling to a load, and the 1/4" port matches standard shop air lines.
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 ACE100X250B FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, push is 3927 N and pull is 3769.9 N. At 0.7 MPa, push rises to 5497.8 N and pull to 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 proof pressure at 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
Yes, the ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits in confined jigs. However, this model has no -S code, meaning no magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE sensors cannot be mounted. Order the -S variant to get the optional magnet for sensor feedback.
