Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X40
The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X40 is a genuine double acting ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 40mm 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 ACE100X40
This AirTAC ACE100X40 is a double acting compact cylinder that extends and retracts its 20 mm rod with air pressure on both strokes. At 0.5 MPa it delivers 3927 N of push force and 3769.9 N of pull force, so it can handle heavy clamping or pressing jobs in a short envelope.
The ISO 21287 body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which lets it fit inside tight machine guards or between gantry beams. The hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome rod resist wear, while a fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact. For a safe working load, plan for about 2356 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which is roughly 240 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 safety margin.

Where the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X40 Is Used
Heavy Clamping Fixture
Use the 3927 N push force to clamp thick metal plates in a CNC milling fixture, holding parts securely during high-speed cutting operations.
Press Operation
Drive a small arbor press for inserting bushings or bearings into housings, relying on the 5497.8 N push at 0.7 MPa for consistent force.
Stop Gate on Conveyor
Actuate a stop gate on a heavy-duty conveyor line to halt pallets or crates, using the 40 mm stroke for quick, reliable positioning.
Is the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X40 the Right Cylinder?
With a 100 mm bore, this cylinder suits heavy-duty push applications. If your load is lighter, consider the ACE80X40 with 2513.3 N push at 0.5 MPa, or step up to the ACE125X40 for 6135.9 N push. The 40 mm stroke is standard and fits short-travel indexing or pressing tasks.
This model has no magnet, so it cannot use CMSE or DMSE sensors. Order the -S version if you need position sensing. Mounting options like FA/FB flange, LB foot, or CA/CB clevis bolt directly to the ISO 21287 face, making it easy to integrate into existing fixtures.
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 ACE100X40 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.
No, this version has no magnet. The optional -S code adds a magnet that enables CMSE or DMSE switches. Without the -S code, no sensor can be mounted. The fixed TPU bumper only absorbs end-of-stroke impact, it does not hold or brake a load.
