The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X275B is a genuine double acting ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 275mm 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 ACE100X275B is a double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, with a 100 mm bore and a 275 mm stroke. It delivers 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, so it can drive heavy clamping or pressing tasks in a body that is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, saving valuable space in tight machine frames. The hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome plated rod resist wear in continuous cycling.
Because this version has no -S code, it has no magnet, so CMSE or DMSE sensors cannot be mounted without ordering the optional magnet variant. For a real-world load, plan for roughly 240 kg of safe vertical work at 0.5 MPa (about 0.6 times the 3927 N push), giving you a practical margin for jigs or fixtures. The fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke impact, and the operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with speeds from 30 to 500 mm/s.

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 this 100 mm bore cylinder to clamp large metal workpieces in a CNC milling fixture, where the 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa holds parts firmly during cutting, and the compact body fits under the machine guard.
In a small assembly press for automotive components, this cylinder provides 5497.8 N push at 0.7 MPa to stamp or press bushings into housings, with the 275 mm stroke allowing for part loading and ejection.
Deploy this cylinder in a packaging line to compress and hold cardboard cartons before strapping, using the 3769.9 N pull force at 0.5 MPa to retract the platen quickly and the compact body to fit in a limited-height conveyor section.
When sizing this ACE100X275B, compare it with the ACE80X275 for lighter duty (2513 N push at 0.5 MPa) or the ACE125X275 for higher force (6135.9 N push at 0.5 MPa). For a 275 mm stroke, this 100 mm bore model suits medium-to-heavy applications where you need a compact footprint but substantial thrust, such as pressing or stamping operations. Since it has a male rod thread (B code), it connects directly to clevis or rod-end accessories without an adapter.
This cylinder is double acting, so it extends and retracts with air pressure, but it does not hold its position if air is lost or the valve is centered - the piston will drift. For holding a load in place, add a rod lock or pilot check valve. The 1/4" port matches standard flow for this bore, and mounting options like FA/FB flange, LB foot, or CA/CB clevis bolt directly to the ISO 21287 face, making integration straightforward.
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. These figures are for double-acting operation, so air pressure drives both extension and retraction.
The ACE100X275B follows ISO 21287, a compact standard that saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, making it ideal for tight spaces. However, this version has no magnet (no -S code), so CMSE or DMSE sensors cannot be mounted. To use sensors, order the cylinder with the optional -S magnet code, which enables reed or solid-state switch mounting.
