Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X120B
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X120B 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. Its short compact envelope saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder.

About the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X120B
This double acting compact cylinder carries a rod through BOTH covers, so the 100 mm bore delivers the same 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa (5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa) whether it pushes or pulls - both strokes work on the rod-side area. The male rod thread (B code) on each 20 mm rod end accepts standard rod accessories directly. Running on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) filtered air at 30-500 mm/s, it suits heavy clamping and press-fit work.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which matters in wide gantries and press frames where every millimetre of envelope counts. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries FA/FB flange and LB foot brackets plus I/Y rod knuckles on the standard face. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs stroke-end shock, and the through-rod resists rotation so the back rod can carry a sensor flag. Plan on roughly 2262 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa - about 230 kg of vertical force - rather than the full rating.

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 ACED100X120B Is Used
Press-frame part ejection
The through-rod ejects stamped housings from a die on the forward stroke while the rear rod retracts a scraper plate, both at 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa.
Gantry pick-and-place counterbalance
Mounted in a narrow gantry over a packaging line, the symmetric rods carry a gripper and its counterweight, lifting parts of about 115 kg with a 2:1 margin.
Reciprocating test rig actuator
A durability test bench cycles a gearbox shifter at 30-500 mm/s; the back rod drives a position flag and the TPU bumpers absorb each reversal.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X120B the Right Cylinder?
Size both ways: a 63 mm double-rod unit gives 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa, while the 125 mm bore reaches 5890.5 N - pick the 100 mm when you need about 3.8 kN in a short envelope. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost; for a held load add a rod lock or pilot check valve. This code has no magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches cannot be fitted - order the -S variant if position sensing is needed. PT ports, 1/4", and a 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore.
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 ACED100X120B FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design means both strokes use the rod-side area, so output is equal either way: 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) with proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a hard-anodized aluminium body, S45C hard-chrome plated rods and fixed TPU bumpers at both stroke ends. FA/FB flanges, LB feet and I/Y knuckles bolt to the standard face. Sensing needs the optional -S magnet code; this unit has no magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches cannot be mounted on it.
