About the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X125S
The ACED100X125S is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to the ISO 21287 short-body format. A 100 mm bore with a rod exiting both covers gives an equal 3769.9 N of force in each direction at 0.5 MPa, because both strokes work on the rod-side area. The through-rod resists rotation and side load, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag or a second tooling plate. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clipped onto the body for end-of-stroke signalling.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with a roller-burnished bore pairs with an S45C hard-chrome-plated rod, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which matters in presses and gantries where every millimetre of envelope counts. For planning: about 2262 N of that 0.5 MPa rating is realistic working force, and the rod can lift roughly 192 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with speeds of 30-500 mm/s.

Where the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X125S Is Used
Heavy fixture clamping
The symmetric 3769.9 N clamping force in both directions suits machining-centre fixtures where a clamp must push and retract against the same load without a larger envelope.
Pallet lift-and-lower stations
With about 192 kg of vertical lift capacity at a 2:1 margin, the through-rod can carry a lift plate on both ends for balanced raising of pallets or dies in assembly cells.
Press and forming auxiliary slides
The 125 mm stroke and 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa drive ejector slides and part-transfer arms on forming lines, with CMSE switches reporting both end positions via the fitted magnet.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X125S the Right Cylinder?
At 100 mm bore this is a heavy-duty size: 3769.9 N per direction at 0.5 MPa and 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa, identical on push and pull thanks to the double rod. Step down to a 63 mm bore (1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa) for lighter clamping, or up to 125 mm (5890.5 N) where the load demands more. The 125 mm stroke sits well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so no made-to-order build is needed. Remember that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put. FA/FB flanges, LB feet and FTC brackets bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face, and the -S magnet in this model is what enables CMSE / DMSE switch mounting.
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 ACED100X125S FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, force is equal in both directions: 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa, both measured on the rod-side area. At the full 1.0 MPa rating the cylinder reaches 768.8 kgf. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, running on air filtered to 40 um at 30-500 mm/s.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits tight guards and gantries. This ACED100X125S already carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount directly in the body slots. The fixed TPU bumpers at both ends absorb end-of-stroke energy, and FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets bolt to the standard ISO 21287 face.
