The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X25BH is a genuine double acting ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 25mm 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 ACE100X25BH is a double acting compact cylinder with a 100 mm bore and 25 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 won't.
With a male rod thread (B code) and no optional -S magnet, this unit cannot accept CMSE or DMSE sensors. For a 2:1 safety margin on vertical lifting, plan for about 200 kg of real payload at 0.5 MPa, based on the 3927 N push force. The fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact, but it does not hold a load if air pressure is lost.

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.
| 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.

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 short body fitting under a guard.
Mount this cylinder to raise a stop gate on a pallet conveyor. The 25 mm stroke is enough to block a pallet, and the compact body saves space along the line.
In a welding fixture, use the ACE100X25BH to clamp sheet metal parts. The male rod thread simplifies attaching a custom clamp, and the fixed bumper prevents slamming.
For a lighter duty application, consider the ACE80X25 with 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa, or step up to the ACE125X25 with 6136 N push for heavier loads. This 100 mm bore model suits medium-to-heavy automation tasks where space is limited. Since there is no magnet, you cannot use proximity switches; if you need position sensing, order the -S version. Mounting options like FA/FB flanges or LB foot brackets bolt directly to the ISO 21287 face.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, push is 3927 N and pull 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).
No, this model has no magnet because the -S code was not ordered. Without the optional -S magnet, CMSE or DMSE switches cannot be mounted. If you need position sensing, choose the ACE100X25S version instead.
