About the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X10S
The ACED100X10S is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to the ISO 21287 short-body format. With a 100 mm bore and a 10 mm stroke, it delivers 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa in BOTH directions, because a 20 mm rod exits each cover and both strokes work on the rod-side area. Ports are 1/4" and the female rod thread is M12x1.75.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome plated rod runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-500 mm/s, and -20 to +70 C. Its short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into presses and clamping fixtures where a full-length body cannot. The through-rod resists rotation and side load, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. This -S version carries the optional magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches mount directly. Plan on roughly 2262 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 192 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

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 ACED100X10S Is Used
Short-stroke press station
The 10 mm stroke and 3769.9 N both-ways force make this cylinder a compact punch or marking head on an aluminium fixture plate where every millimetre of length counts.
Reciprocating transfer carriage
A rod on each cover lets the through-rod drive a slider from either side with equal 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa, keeping the carriage square without an anti-rotation guide.
Gantry part-present check
With the fitted magnet and a DMSE switch, the rear rod carries a flag so the PLC confirms clamp position on an automotive welding fixture in under 10 mm of travel.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X10S the Right Cylinder?
At 3769.9 N per stroke at 0.5 MPa, the 100 mm bore suits heavy clamping and short-stroke pressing. Step down to the 63 mm bore (1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa) for lighter loads, or up to 125 mm (5890.5 N at 0.5 MPa) when force headroom matters. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must stay put. FA/FB flanges, LB feet and FTC brackets bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the fitted magnet accepts CMSE / DMSE switches for end-of-stroke signalling.
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 ACED100X10S FAQ
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, force is identical on both strokes: 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa (rod-side area, 100 mm bore). Peak force at 1.0 MPa is 768.8 kgf. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, and speed spans 30-500 mm/s.
The ISO 21287 body is about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs piston impact - it is not adjustable and never holds a load. Mounting uses FA/FB flanges, LB feet or FTC brackets on the standard face, and this -S model carries the optional magnet so CMSE / DMSE switches can be clipped onto the body slot.
