The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE80X100B 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 ACE80X100B is a double acting ISO 21287 compact cylinder with an 80 mm bore and a 100 mm stroke. Its hard-anodized aluminium body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits inside tight machine guards and compact jigs where a full-length cylinder would not fit. The S45C piston rod is hard-chrome plated and has a male thread (B code) for direct coupling to your tooling.
At 0.5 MPa this unit delivers 2513.3 N of push force and 2356.2 N of pull force, which means it can safely lift about 154 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin (2513.3 / 9.81 / 2). The fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke impact, and the body has magnet slots, but this model has no magnet fitted because the -S option was not ordered. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and speed range is 30-500 mm/s.

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.

| 0.7 MPa | 3519 N | 3299 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 513 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 2513.3 N push at 0.5 MPa to clamp a workpiece firmly in a CNC milling fixture, with the short body fitting under the spindle guard.
Mount this cylinder to raise a stop gate on a parcel sorting line; the 100 mm stroke clears the path and the 2356.2 N pull retracts it quickly at 30-500 mm/s.
In a carton erecting machine, this cylinder presses folded flaps flat with 2513.3 N force, and the compact body saves space inside the packaging frame.
For a lighter duty in the same compact footprint, consider the ACE63X100 with 1558.6 N push at 0.5 MPa, or step up to the ACE100X100 for 3927.0 N push if your load is heavier. The 1/4" port matches standard shop air lines, and the male rod thread simplifies mounting. Since this cylinder is double acting, it uses air to both extend and retract, but it will not hold a position if air pressure is lost; for holding a load, add a pilot check valve or a rod lock. The optional -S magnet is required if you want to mount CMSE or DMSE sensors for position detection.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, push force is 2513.3 N and pull force is 2356.2 N. At 0.7 MPa, push is 3518.6 N and pull is 3298.7 N. The theoretical maximum force is 512.6 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The operating pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and the proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
The ACE is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder, so its body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which helps in tight spaces. It has a fixed TPU bumper at both ends that absorbs impact at stroke end, but it is not an adjustable air cushion and it does not lock or hold a load. For holding, use a rod lock or pilot check valve.
