Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X125SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X125SB is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 125mm 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 ACED100X125SB
A heavy-duty double acting compact cylinder in the ISO 21287 family, the ACED100X125SB pushes a 100 mm bore through a 125 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 either way. The through-rod resists rotation and side load, gives a symmetric mounting face, and the rear rod end can carry a sensor flag or a second tooling plate.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which matters when a 100 mm bore has to fit inside a press frame or a guarded gantry. For sizing, treat roughly 2262 N (about 0.6 of the 0.5 MPa rating) as the usable working thrust, which corresponds to lifting around 192 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a S45C hard-chrome-plated 20 mm rod, fixed TPU bumpers absorb end-of-stroke shock at both ends, and the fitted -S magnet accepts 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 ACED100X125SB Is Used
Press-frame part ejection
The 3769.9 N through-stroke ejects stamped brackets from a die on the return side too, and the short body fits the narrow space under the ram where a full-length profile cylinder cannot.
Vertical lift-and-lower fixture
With about 192 kg of vertical lift capacity at a 2:1 margin, the double rod keeps the lifting plate from rotating while raising machined housings between two stations.
Position-flagged clamp on a transfer line
The fitted -S magnet drives a DMSE switch at each end of the 125 mm stroke, confirming clamp and unclamp states on an automotive pallet line before the robot advances.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X125SB the Right Cylinder?
At 3769.9 N per direction this is the second-largest ACED size; step down to ACED80 (2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa) for lighter clamping, or up to ACED125 (5890.5 N) where the load demands it. The 125 mm stroke sits well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it ships as a catalogue item. Note that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - for a held vertical load add a rod lock or pilot check valve. Mounting brackets (FA/FB flange, LB foot, FTC) plus I/Y rod knuckles bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face, and the male B-code rod thread suits external nuts and clevis fittings.
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 ACED100X125SB FAQ
Yes - because a rod exits both covers, both strokes use the rod-side area, so force 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), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, air filtered to 40 um, temperature -20 to +70 C.
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 20 mm rod and 1/4" ports. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy; it does not lock or hold a load, so use a rod lock or pilot check for that. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be mounted directly in the body slots.
