Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X30SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X30SB is a genuine double acting ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 30mm 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.

About the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X30SB
This AirTAC ACE100X30SB is a double acting ISO 21287 compact cylinder delivering a 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa, making it a strong choice for medium-duty automation. Its 30 mm stroke and 100 mm bore fit into tight machine frames where a longer ISO 15552 profile cylinder would not, saving about 50% of mounting length.
With the optional -S magnet fitted, this unit works with CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches for reliable position sensing. The hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome plated rod resist wear in continuous cycling, while the fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact. For a 2:1 safety margin on vertical lifts, plan for roughly 200 kg of real payload at 0.5 MPa, not the full 3927 N rating.

Where the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X30SB Is Used
Jig Clamping on CNC Fixtures
Use the ACE100X30SB to clamp a 200 kg workpiece fixture on a vertical machining center. The 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa holds parts securely during drilling, and the compact body fits between the T-slots and spindle guard.
Carton Divert on Packaging Line
Mount this cylinder sideways on a case packer to push 30 kg cartons onto a side conveyor. The 30 mm stroke is enough to clear the main belt, and the optional -S magnet triggers a CMSE sensor to confirm each divert cycle.
Pallet Stop at Loading Dock
Install the ACE100X30SB as a retractable stop on a gravity roller conveyor. The 3769.9 N pull force at 0.5 MPa retracts the stop pin smoothly, and the fixed TPU bumper prevents shock when the pallet hits the raised position.
Is the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X30SB the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this ACE100X30SB, compare it against the ACE80X30 which pushes 2513.3 N at 0.5 MPa for lighter duty, or step up to the ACE125X30 with 6135.9 N push if you need more force. The 1/4" port suits standard shop air lines, and the male rod thread (B code) simplifies mounting to your tooling. Remember this is a double acting cylinder, so it will not hold a load in position if air pressure is lost - add a pilot check valve or rod lock for safety-critical applications.
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 ACE100X30SB FAQ
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. Operating pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
The ACE100X30SB body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder of the same bore, so it fits inside machine guards and gantries where a full-length cylinder will not. The fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke energy, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE or DMSE position sensors.
