The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X300SB is a genuine double acting ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 300mm 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 ACE100X300SB is a double acting ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a 100 mm bore and a 300 mm stroke, delivering a 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa. Its hard-anodized aluminium body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, freeing valuable space on automated assembly lines and tight machine frames.
With the optional -S magnet fitted, this model works with CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches for reliable position sensing. For real-world sizing, plan for roughly 240 kg of safe vertical lift at 0.5 MPa (about 60% of the theoretical 3927 N), giving you a practical margin for jigs and fixtures. The fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact, and the male rod thread (B) simplifies mounting to tooling.

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 drive a pressing fixture that seats bearings or bushings into housings, with the compact body fitting under a guard where a longer cylinder would not.
Deploy this cylinder to raise a stop gate on a heavy-duty conveyor line, using the 300 mm stroke to clear tall cartons and the magnet to confirm gate position with a CMSE switch.
Lift a 200 kg safety guard on a packaging machine with a 2:1 margin, relying on the compact body to fit within the machine's frame and the fixed TPU bumper to soften the stop.
Choose this ACE100X300SB when you need a compact, high-force cylinder for a 300 mm stroke in a confined space. If your application requires less force, consider the ACE80X300 with a 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa; for more power, the ACE125X300 offers 6136 N push at the same pressure. The 1/4" port suits standard shop air, and the male rod thread (B) allows direct attachment of clevises or rod eyes.
Since this model includes the -S magnet, you can mount CMSE or DMSE switches for position feedback. Remember, this cylinder is double acting and will drift if air pressure is lost, so for holding a load in place, add a pilot check valve or a rod lock. Mounting options like FA/FB flanges or LB foot brackets bolt directly to the ISO 21287 face.
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 values are for a double-acting cylinder with a 100 mm bore.
The ACE100X300SB has a short body that saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, making it ideal for tight spaces. It includes a fixed TPU bumper at both ends to absorb impact, and the optional -S magnet (fitted here) allows CMSE or DMSE switches for position sensing. The hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome rod ensure durability.
