About the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X125
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED100X125 pushes a 100 mm bore through a 125 mm stroke with a rod leaving BOTH covers, so thrust is identical on every stroke: 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa, both directions. The through-rod resists rotation and side load, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag or a second tool. Running range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at 30-500 mm/s.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why this bore class fits heavy gantries and press fixtures where a full-length body will not. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock. Plan on roughly 2262 N (about 230 kg) of real work at 0.5 MPa, or lift about 192 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note: this code has no magnet; order the optional -S version to enable CMSE / DMSE switches.

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 ACED100X125 Is Used
Heavy press fixture clamping
The 3769.9 N symmetric thrust clamps steel weldments in machining fixtures, and the short ISO 21287 body tucks under the fixture plate where a profile cylinder cannot.
Gantry pick-and-place lift
With about 192 kg of vertical lift at a 2:1 margin, the through-rod carries the gripper on one end and a position flag on the rear rod of the same cylinder.
Baling and compacting stations
Equal force on both strokes lets one ACED100X125 eject and return with identical power in scrap handling and compaction rigs, at up to 500 mm/s.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X125 the Right Cylinder?
At 3769.9 N per side at 0.5 MPa, bore 100 sits above the 80 mm size (2356.2 N) and below the 125 mm size (5890.5 N) - step down for lighter clamps, up for heavy press work. The piston drifts if air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check for a held load. Mounting: FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets plus I/Y rod knuckles bolt to the ISO 21287 face; the 1/4" port and M12x1.75 female rod thread are standard, and the optional -S magnet adds CMSE / DMSE sensing.
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 ACED100X125 FAQ
Yes - it is a double-rod cylinder, so both strokes use the rod-side area: 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa, identical push and pull. Maximum output at 1.0 MPa is 768.8 kgf. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, air filtered to 40 um.
The ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so the 100 mm bore fits tight gantries and guards. The fixed TPU bumper at each end only decelerates the piston at the ends of travel - it never holds or brakes a load, so use a rod lock or pilot check where a load must stay put. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC mounts bolt straight on, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches.
