About the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X30
This AirTAC ACE100X30 is a double acting compact cylinder that uses air to both extend and retract the rod, delivering a 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa. Its hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome plated rod are built for repeated cycles in automated machinery.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into tight guarding and gantries. At 0.5 MPa, plan for a safe working load of about 2356 N (0.6 times the push force) for real applications, which equates to lifting roughly 240 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.

Where the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X30 Is Used
Heavy Clamping Fixture
Use in a CNC machining fixture to clamp large aluminium plates with a reliable 3927 N force at 0.5 MPa, holding parts firmly during drilling or milling operations.
Carton Compression Test
In a packaging lab, this cylinder can press down on corrugated boxes to test crush strength, applying a controlled 3927 N load at 0.5 MPa to simulate stacking pressure.
Press for Rubber Seals
Mount in a small press to form rubber gaskets, using the 30 mm stroke to compress material in a die, with the short body fitting under a machine guard.
Is the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X30 the Right Cylinder?
For lighter duty, consider the ACE80X30 with a 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa, or step up to the ACE125X30 for a 6136 N push at the same pressure. This 100 mm bore model suits medium-to-heavy clamping and pressing tasks where space is limited. The optional -S magnet is not fitted here, so order the -S code if you need to mount CMSE or DMSE sensors for position detection.
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 ACE100X30 FAQ
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. These figures are for the double-acting operation.
The ACE100X30 has a hard-anodized aluminium body that is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, saving valuable mounting space. It uses a fixed TPU bumper at both ends to absorb end-of-stroke impact, and operates at speeds from 30 to 500 mm/s. Note that this model has no magnet, so order the optional -S version to use CMSE or DMSE sensors.
