Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X120SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X120SB 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 ACED100X120SB
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED100X120SB pushes a 100 mm bore through a 120 mm stroke with a rod leaving BOTH covers, so thrust is identical on the out-stroke and the return: 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed range 30-500 mm/s, and a fixed TPU bumper sits at each end of travel.
The through-rod is the working advantage here: the 20 mm hard-chrome S45C rod resists rotation and side load, gives a symmetric mount on both faces, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag on a press fixture. This S-code model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches read position directly on the hard-anodized aluminium body. For real-world sizing, keep continuous work near 2260 N at 0.5 MPa, which corresponds to lifting roughly 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 ACED100X120SB Is Used
Bench-top press and forming station
3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa in both directions suits staking, swaging and light forming on aluminium brackets, with the 120 mm stroke clearing part load and unload in a compact frame.
Symmetric clamp fixture on a machining line
A rod on each face lets one cylinder clamp a cast housing from both sides with equal force, and the through-rod resists the side load of off-center clamping.
Pallet transfer pusher in a warehouse cell
The 100 mm bore moves loaded pallet cages at 30-500 mm/s, and the rear rod carries a CMSE switch flag (magnet fitted on this -S model) for end-of-stroke confirmation.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X120SB the Right Cylinder?
At 100 mm bore this is a heavy-thrust size: 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa both ways. Step down to the 80 mm bore (2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa) if the press or clamp load is lighter, or up to 125 mm (5890.5 N at 0.5 MPa) when you need the full 1200 kgf class. The 120 mm stroke sits well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it ships as a standard build. The male rod thread is M12x1.25 per the B code, the port is 1/4" PT, and FA/FB flange, LB foot or FTC brackets bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face. Note that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put.
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 ACED100X120SB FAQ
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 out-stroke and the return alike. At the full 1.0 MPa rating the cylinder reaches about 768.8 kgf. Keep continuous duty near 2260 N, which is roughly a 192 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin.
The S means the optional -S magnet is fitted on this unit, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be mounted anywhere along the hard-anodized aluminium body. The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and the fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), -20 to +70 C.
