About the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X90SB
This AirTAC ACE100X90SB is a double acting compact cylinder that uses air to both extend and retract its 20 mm rod. With a 100 mm bore, it delivers a robust 3927 N push force at 0.5 MPa, making it a strong choice for medium-duty automation tasks. The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length compared to an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits neatly into tight machine frames and guarding where space is at a premium.
For real-world sizing, plan for about 2356 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa, which is roughly 240 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 safety margin. The optional -S magnet is fitted on this model, so you can mount CMSE or DMSE reed switches for position sensing. The hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome plated rod resist wear, while the fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke impact without the need for adjustments.

Where the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X90SB Is Used
Fixture Clamping
Use the 3927 N push force to clamp sheet metal parts securely in a welding jig, where the compact body fits between locating pins and the 90 mm stroke provides quick release.
Package Stoppers
In a packaging line, this cylinder can extend a stopper to halt cartons on a conveyor. The 90 mm stroke clears the product path, and the 3769.9 N pull retracts it fast for smooth flow.
Press Ram
For a small assembly press, the ACE100X90SB delivers 5497.8 N at 0.7 MPa to press bearings into housings. The short body allows it to fit under a bench-mounted frame, and the TPU bumper reduces noise at the end of each cycle.
Is the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE100X90SB the Right Cylinder?
When selecting this ACE100X90SB, consider the 90 mm stroke against your required travel. If you need less force, the ACE80X90 with 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa is a lighter option, while the ACE125X90 offers a stronger 6136 N push for heavier loads. The 1/4" port is standard for this bore size, and the male rod thread (B code) simplifies mounting with rod-end accessories. This model includes the -S magnet, so you can add CMSE or DMSE sensors for reliable position feedback. Remember, this cylinder does not hold its position when air pressure is lost; use a rod lock or pilot check valve for load holding.
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 ACE100X90SB 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. These figures are based on the 100 mm bore and 20 mm rod.
The ACE100X90SB has a short body that saves about 50% of the mounting length compared to an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, making it ideal for tight spaces. It uses a fixed TPU bumper at both ends to absorb impact, not an adjustable cushion. The optional -S magnet is fitted here, so you can add CMSE or DMSE switches for position sensing.
