The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X150S 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 ACED100X150S pushes a 100 mm bore through a 150 mm stroke with a piston rod leaving BOTH covers. Because each side of the piston sees the rod-side area, output force is identical in both directions: 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa, equal on the extend and return stroke. The through-rod resists rotation and side load, and the rear rod end gives you a free surface for a sensor flag or a symmetric fixture mount.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so this 100 mm bore fits presses and gantries where a full-length body will not. The hard-anodized aluminium barrel carries a roller-burnished bore, the S45C hard-chrome rod runs in grease-storing two-way seals, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. This -S version carries the magnet, so CMSE or DMSE switches read position along the body slots. At 0.5 MPa the rod-side force equals roughly 384 kgf, so halving for a 2:1 margin lets it lift about 192 kg vertically.

| 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).

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.
With 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa in both directions, this bore stakes bushings, presses bearings and crimps terminals in electronics and small assembly cells, and the return stroke delivers the same force for part ejection.
The through-rod gives a symmetric mount top and bottom, so pallet elevators and gate lifters on packaging lines stay aligned; the rear rod can carry a cam flag for a second switch point.
The fitted -S magnet lets CMSE or DMSE switches confirm clamp and unclamp positions along the body slots, ideal for robotic load stations that must verify state before the next cycle.
For this 150 mm stroke, compare the 80 mm bore (2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa) when the load is lighter and space is tighter, or step to the 125 mm bore (5890.5 N at 0.5 MPa) for heavier pressing work. Keep the real working force near 2260 N rather than the full 3769.9 N rating for long service life. Ports are 1/4" on this bore, and the female M12x1.25 rod thread (blank code) accepts standard rod knuckles I and Y. Remember that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. The 150 mm stroke sits well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for bore 100, so no made-to-order build is needed.
Quick checklist
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 pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and speed range 30-500 mm/s.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight guards and jigs. The -S code means the magnet is fitted on this model, so CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clipped into the body slots for end-of-stroke or mid-stroke sensing. FA/FB flanges, LB foot and FTC brackets bolt straight to the standard face, and the fixed TPU bumpers at both ends absorb end-of-stroke energy.
