The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X10SB is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 10mm 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 ACED100X10SB pushes a 100 mm piston through a 10 mm stroke and delivers 3769.9 N in BOTH directions at 0.5 MPa (5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa), because each side of the piston sees the rod-side area. The 20 mm hard-chrome-plated S45C rod exits both covers, so the through-rod resists rotation and side load while the rear rod gives you a ready mounting point for a sensor flag. A male M12x1.25-class rod thread (the B code) and 1/4" PT ports complete the fluid side.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why this bore class fits tight press fixtures and gantry clamps that a full-length body cannot. In practice, plan on roughly 2262 N (about 230 kgf) of usable work at 0.5 MPa, or around 192 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries the optional -S magnet on this model, so CMSE / DMSE switches mount directly, and fixed TPU bumpers at both ends absorb end-of-stroke shock. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s over 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).

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).

|---|---|
| 100 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×10 | Stroke length in mm. |
| S | Optional built-in magnet for CMSE / DMSE sensors (omit for no magnet). |
| 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.
A 10 mm stroke with 3769.9 N both ways at 0.5 MPa is ideal for a staking or marking head on an aluminium extrusion line, where the compact body tucks under a fixed guard.
The through-rod lets a pick-and-place carriage ride between two rod ends on a PCB transfer unit, resisting rotation over the 30-500 mm/s speed band.
Lifts about 192 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin, suiting a pallet elevator pin in a warehouse conveyor that needs equal force up and down.
Size both ways: if 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa is more than your jig needs, the ACED63X10SB gives 1458.1 N in the same short-body format; if you need more, the ACED125X10SB reaches 5890.5 N. Remember this is a plain double-rod cylinder - it does not hold position when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check for a suspended load. FA/FB flanges, LB feet and FTC brackets bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face, and I/Y rod knuckles suit the male-threaded rod. The -S magnet is already fitted on this code for CMSE / DMSE switching.
Quick checklist
Because a rod exits both covers, output is equal both ways: 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa, on the rod-side area. Peak output at 1.0 MPa is about 768.8 kgf. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), with a 20 mm rod and 1/4" PT ports.
The ISO 21287 body is a hard-anodized aluminium tube with threaded covers, about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and fixed TPU bumpers at each end absorb end-of-stroke energy. This code carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clipped into the body slots to signal end positions.
