Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X120
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X120 is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 120mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body.

About the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X120
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED100X120 uses a 100 mm bore with a rod leaving both covers, so thrust is identical on the extend and retract strokes. At 0.5 MPa it delivers 3769.9 N in either direction, rising to 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa. The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag on gantry and press fixtures.
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, from -20 to +70 C. Its short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight machine frames. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock. As a working figure, plan on roughly 2262 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which is about 115 kg of vertical lift 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 ACED100X120 Is Used
Press transfer lift
The 3769.9 N both-ways output raises and lowers a stamping shuttle between press stations, and the equal retract force pulls the part back down without a return spring.
Gantry Z-axis clamp
A symmetric through-rod mount on a CNC gantry holds a clamping beam level, with the rear rod carrying a flag for position checks.
Pallet ejector
On a packaging line, the 120 mm stroke pushes loaded pallets off a conveyor lane, and the compact body fits where a full-length profile cylinder cannot.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X120 the Right Cylinder?
Step down to the ACED63X120 if 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa covers the job; step up to the ACED125X120 when 5890.5 N is needed. Both keep the same 120 mm stroke. Note that this plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check for a held load. Mount it with FA/FB flange or LB foot brackets on the ISO 21287 face, and order the -S code if CMSE / DMSE switch positions are wanted - without -S there is no magnet fitted.
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 ACED100X120 FAQ
Output is equal in both directions because a rod exits each cover and both strokes use the rod-side area: 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum of 768.8 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the 1/4" port depends only on the 100 mm bore.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder whose short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end to absorb end-of-stroke energy. Position sensing needs the optional -S magnet code; only then can CMSE / DMSE switches be clipped to the body. Without -S no magnet is fitted.
