The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X50SBH is a genuine double acting ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 50mm 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 ACE100X50SBH is a double acting compact cylinder that delivers 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, making it a strong choice for medium-duty automation. Its ISO 21287 short body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into tight machine frames and guarding where a longer cylinder simply will not go.
With the optional -S magnet fitted, this model 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, while the 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.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACE-series (ISO 21287) datasheet. Body: hard-anodized aluminium alloy; piston rod: S45C carbon steel with hard-chrome plating. Rod type: female thread (blank) or male thread (B). Thread options: PT (blank) / G. A built-in magnet is OPTIONAL — add the -S code to fit CMSE / DMSE position sensors.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |

| 0.7 MPa | 5498 N | 5278 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 801 kgf | |
Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.

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 force to press bushings or bearings into housings on an assembly line, with the compact body fitting under a guarding panel.
Mount this cylinder to raise a stop gate on a packaging conveyor, using the 50 mm stroke to block or release cartons reliably at speeds up to 500 mm/s.
Clamp light pallets or fixtures on a transfer cart with the 3769.9 N pull force, benefiting from the short body that fits between frame rails.
For lighter applications, consider the ACE80X50 with 2513 N push, or step up to the ACE125X50 for 6136 N push if you need more force. This 100 mm bore model with a 50 mm stroke is a balanced choice for pushing or lifting parts up to about 240 kg vertically with a safety factor. Since this cylinder has a male rod thread (B code), it is ready for rod-end accessories. The fitted magnet allows sensor feedback, but remember that a plain ACE does not hold its load if air pressure is lost - use a rod lock or pilot check valve for position holding.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, push force 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. Operating pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length compared to an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits in tight spaces. The fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact, but it does not lock or hold a load. The optional -S magnet allows CMSE or DMSE sensors for position feedback.
