The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE125X30S is a genuine double acting ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø125mm 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.
This AirTAC ACE125X30S is a double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, with a hard-anodized aluminium body and a hard-chrome plated S45C steel rod. It delivers a 6135.9 N push force at 0.5 MPa, so it suits heavy clamping and pressing tasks in tight spaces.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, letting it fit inside machine guards and compact jigs. The optional -S magnet is fitted here, so CMSE or DMSE switches can mount directly to sense rod position. For a safe working load, plan around 3682 N (about 375 kg) at 0.5 MPa rather than the full rating, giving a 2:1 margin for real applications.

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 in a CNC machining fixture to clamp large steel workpieces with 6135.9 N force, holding parts firmly during milling operations.
Drive a pressing ram in an automotive assembly line to insert bearings or bushings, relying on the 30 mm stroke for precise, short travel.
Mount inside a die-casting machine's ejector box, where the short body fits limited space and the high force pushes out castings.
Choose the ACE125X30S when you need a 125 mm bore with a 30 mm stroke and high force in a short envelope. For lighter duty, the ACE100X30S offers 3927.0 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the ACE125X50S provides a longer 50 mm stroke if travel is critical. This model has a female M16x2.0 rod thread and a 1/4" port, and the fitted magnet enables position sensing with CMSE or DMSE switches. Remember that a plain ACE does not hold its load when air is lost; use a rod lock or pilot check valve for vertical or suspended loads.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, push is 6135.9 N and pull is 5890.5 N. At 0.7 MPa, push is 8590.3 N and pull is 8246.7 N. The theoretical maximum force is 1251.4 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), with proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits in tight spaces like machine guards and compact jigs. It has a fixed TPU bumper at both ends to absorb end-of-stroke impact, and the optional -S magnet allows CMSE or DMSE sensors to detect rod position. Mounting options include FA/FB flange, LB foot, and CA/CB clevis.
