The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE80X100 is a genuine double acting ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 100mm 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 ACE80X100 is a double acting compact cylinder that uses air to both extend and retract its 20 mm rod. Its 80 mm bore delivers a 2513.3 N push force at 0.5 MPa, which is enough to handle moderate automation tasks, and the fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs impact to protect the mechanism.
Because it follows the ISO 21287 compact standard, its body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into tight machine frames and guarding where a full-length unit will not. For a safe working load, plan for about 1508 N (0.6 times the push force) at 0.5 MPa, which equals lifting roughly 154 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin, helping you match it to real part weights.

Use the 2513.3 N push at 0.5 MPa to clamp sheet metal parts in a welding jig, where the compact body fits between locating pins and the fixed bumper prevents shock to the fixture.
Mount this cylinder to raise a stop gate on a packaging line, with the 100 mm stroke lifting a 10 kg product carton and the short body saving space under the conveyor frame.
In a warehouse sorting station, use the pull force of 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa to retract a pusher arm that diverts boxes onto a side chute, with the TPU bumper absorbing end-of-stroke impact.
When sizing this ACE80X100, compare it with the ACE63X100 which pushes 1558.6 N at 0.5 MPa for lighter duty, or step up to the ACE100X100 which pushes 3927.0 N if you need more force. The 1/4" port matches common shop air lines, and the 100 mm stroke suits medium-travel applications within the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore. Since this model has no -S code, there is no magnet fitted, so you cannot mount CMSE or DMSE sensors; order the -S variant if you need position sensing. The fixed TPU bumper only decelerates at stroke ends, so for holding a load in position when air is removed, add a rod lock or pilot check valve.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 2513.3 N and the pull force is 2356.2 N. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 3518.6 N and the pull force is 3298.7 N. The theoretical maximum force is 512.6 kgf at 1.0 MPa. These figures are for the 80 mm bore with a 20 mm rod.
The ACE80X100 is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder, so its body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which helps in tight spaces. This model has no magnet because the -S code was not ordered, so you cannot mount CMSE or DMSE switches. If you need position sensing, you must order the -S version to get the built-in magnet.
