About the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X100S
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED100X100S pushes a 100 mm bore through a 100 mm stroke with a rod leaving both covers. Because each side works on the rod-side area, output is identical in both directions: 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa, equal push and pull. The through-rod resists rotation and side load, and the rear rod end can carry a sensor flag or a second tool. The S code means the magnet is already fitted, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount directly on the body slots.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with a hard-chrome plated S45C rod runs at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-500 mm/s and -20 to +70 C, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end. Its short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which matters on wide gantries and press frames where every millimetre of depth counts. In practice, plan on roughly 2262 N (about 230 kg) of usable work force at 0.5 MPa, or halve the 384 kg vertical-lift equivalent for a 2:1 margin and it lifts about 192 kg vertically.

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.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø100mm)
| Pressure | Force (both ways) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 3770 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 5278 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 769 kgf |
Double-rod: a rod exits both covers, so output force is equal in both directions (rod-side area used).

Where the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X100S Is Used
Baler ram return
The 3769.9 N pull equals the push, so the same 100 mm bore ejects and retracts a compaction plate on a small scrap or packaging baler without oversizing the valve.
Gantry lift column
A rod on both covers gives a symmetric mount and about 192 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin, ideal for raising a vision camera or riveting head on an aluminium gantry.
Twin-sided press fixture
The rear rod drives a counter-grip or sensor flag while the front rod clamps, letting one cylinder do two jobs on an automotive weld fixture.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X100S the Right Cylinder?
At 100 mm bore you are near the top of the ACED range: 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa both ways. Step down to the 80 mm bore (2356.2 N) for lighter clamping, or up to the 125 mm bore (5890.5 N) when the load demands it. The 100 mm stroke sits well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it is a catalogue item, not a made-to-order build. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost; add a rod lock or pilot check valve where a held load matters. Mount with FA/FB flanges or LB feet on the ISO 21287 face, and since the magnet is fitted you can add CMSE / DMSE switches without ordering the -S suffix.
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 ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X100S FAQ
Yes, both directions are equal because a rod exits each cover and both strokes use the rod-side area. At 0.5 MPa it delivers 3769.9 N, at 0.7 MPa it delivers 5277.9 N, and the maximum at 1.0 MPa is 768.8 kgf (about 7541 N). Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, speed 30-500 mm/s.
The S code means the magnet is already fitted, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches clip into the body slots for end-of-stroke signalling. FA/FB flanges, LB feet and I/Y rod knuckles bolt to the ISO 21287 face. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke impact; it does not hold position if air is lost.
