The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X100SB is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm 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.
A double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED100X100SB pushes a 100 mm piston through a 100 mm stroke with a 20 mm rod leaving BOTH covers. Because both strokes work on the rod-side area, output is a matched 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa in each direction - no push/pull imbalance to design around. The male rod thread (B code) suits external rod accessories, and the fitted -S magnet lets CMSE or DMSE switches report end positions.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so a 100 mm bore fits presses, clamps and lift stations where a full-length profile body will not. As a working rule, plan on roughly 2262 N (about 60% of rating) for real work at 0.5 MPa, which corresponds to lifting about 115 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock, and the hard-anodized aluminium body with S45C hard-chrome rod runs 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at 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.
| 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).

| B | Rod type: B = male thread; blank = female thread. |
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.
The symmetric 3769.9 N force both ways suits a small scrap or can baler where the platen must compact and retract with equal authority inside a short frame.
A through-rod driving a chain sheave gives a balanced lift for about 115 kg pallet loads vertically with a 2:1 margin, and the 100 mm stroke matches a compact mast.
Equal force in both directions keeps cartons pushed and returned at the same speed on a packaging line, with CMSE switches on the fitted magnet confirming each stroke.
At 3769.9 N per side at 0.5 MPa, the 100 mm bore sits well above the 80 mm bore (2356.2 N) and below the 125 mm bore (5890.5 N) - step down if force is generous, up if you need more than about 3.7 kN. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost; add a rod lock or pilot check valve for a held load. FA/FB flange and LB foot brackets bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the fitted magnet means CMSE / DMSE switches mount without reordering. Air must be filtered to 40 um; proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi) and the temperature range is -20 to +70 C.
Quick checklist
Yes - the double-rod design works on the rod-side area for both strokes, so output is 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa in each direction, with a maximum of 768.8 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the 100 mm stroke is within the 300 mm standard limit for this bore.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, freeing space in tight gantries and guards. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clipped onto the body slot for end-of-stroke signalling, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs the end-of-stroke shock.
