The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X150 is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 150mm 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.
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED100X150 pushes a 100 mm bore through a 150 mm stroke with a piston rod leaving BOTH covers. Because each side sees the rod-side area, output is 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa in either direction and 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa - no push-versus-pull mismatch. The through-rod resists rotation and modest side load, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag on gantry or press fixtures.
The short hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight machine frames and guarding. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock, and the S45C hard-chrome rod stands up to continuous cycling at 30-500 mm/s. For planning: treat roughly 2262 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa rating) as the usable working force, which corresponds to lifting around 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.
| 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).
| ACED | ISO 21287 compact cylinder (double-rod). |
|---|---|
| 100 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×150 | Stroke length in mm. |
| S | Optional built-in magnet for CMSE / DMSE sensors (omit for no magnet). |
| B | Rod type: B = male thread; blank = female thread. |
ACE-family variants: ACE (double acting), ASE / ATE (single acting push / pull), ACED (double rod), ACEJ (adjustable stroke), TACE / TACED (non-rotating twin-guide yoke). Mounting accessories: FA / FB flange, LB foot, CA / CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, FTC; plus I and Y knuckles. Thread PT (blank) / G.
Equal 3769.9 N force from either rod end lets a machining cell clamp a housing from both sides of a 150 mm stroke without recalculating pull figures.
A packaging line uses the rear rod to drive a guide flag while the front rod lifts about 192 kg of tray stack with a 2:1 margin at 0.5 MPa.
On a bottling conveyor, the through-rod pushes crates off the line in either stroke direction at identical force, cycling 30-500 mm/s.
At 3769.9 N per side at 0.5 MPa, this bore sits between the 80 mm frame (2356.2 N) and the 125 mm frame (5890.5 N) - step down for lighter clamping, up for heavy press work. The 150 mm stroke is well inside the 300 mm standard limit for bore 100, so no made-to-order build is needed. Remember it drifts when air is lost; add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put. Order FA/FB flange, LB foot or FTC brackets plus I/Y rod knuckles to suit the fixture, and add the -S code only if CMSE / DMSE switching is required - without it no magnet is fitted.
Quick checklist
Because a rod exits both covers, force is identical in both directions: 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa, both sides working on the rod-side area. At 1.0 MPa the theoretical maximum is 768.8 kgf (768.8 kgf equals the max force figure for this bore). Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end and FA/FB, LB or FTC mounting on the standard face. Sensing is optional: order the -S version to get the magnet that works with CMSE / DMSE switches; the plain ACED100X150 has no magnet fitted.
