About the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X40SB
This AirTAC ACE100X40SB is a double acting compact cylinder that delivers 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, making it a strong choice for heavy clamping and pressing tasks. Its ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length compared to an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, allowing it to fit into tight machine frames and guarding where a longer unit will not.
With the optional -S magnet fitted, this model works with CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches for reliable position sensing. For a 2:1 safety margin on vertical work, it can lift about 200 kg, so you can match it against real part weights without over-engineering the system. The hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome plated rod provide a durable, wear-resistant surface for long service life.

Where the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X40SB Is Used
Heavy Clamping Fixture
Use the 3927 N push force to securely clamp large metal workpieces in a CNC milling fixture, ensuring they stay rigid during high-speed cutting operations.
Pallet Stops
In a conveyor system, this cylinder can actuate a heavy-duty pallet stop, using its robust force to reliably halt pallets weighing up to 200 kg on an inclined roller path.
Die Cutting Press
In a packaging line, this compact cylinder provides the necessary force to drive a die-cutting platen through corrugated cardboard, creating precise box blanks with each cycle.
Is the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X40SB the Right Cylinder?
For lighter duty applications, consider the ACE80X40 with 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa, or step up to the ACE125X40 which provides 6135.9 N push at 0.5 MPa for more demanding loads. This 100 mm bore unit uses a 1/4" port and has a maximum standard stroke of 300 mm, so verify your required travel is within this range.
This model has a male rod thread (B code) and is fitted with the optional -S magnet, so you can directly mount CMSE or DMSE switches for position feedback. Remember, this cylinder does not hold its position if air pressure is lost; use a rod lock or pilot check valve if you need to secure a load in place.
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 ACE100X40SB FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 3927 N and the pull force is 3769.9 N. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 5497.8 N and the pull force is 5277.9 N. The theoretical maximum force is 800.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, this model includes the optional -S magnet, which allows you to mount CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches for position sensing. Without the -S code, the cylinder would not have a magnet and sensor feedback would not be possible.
