The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X150SB 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, double-rod ISO 21287 compact cylinder, the ACED100X150SB pushes a 100 mm piston through a 150 mm stroke with a rod leaving both covers. Because each side works on the rod-side area, output is identical in either direction: 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa, both ways. The male-threaded 20 mm rod (B code) bolts directly to tooling, and the through-rod resists rotation and side load while the rear rod can carry a sensor flag.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome-plated rod runs at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and 30-500 mm/s, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end. Its short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into presses and gantries where full-length bodies will not fit. As a planning figure, expect roughly 2262 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 192 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. This -S model carries the optional magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches mount straight on the body.

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).

|---|---|
| 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.
The symmetric 3769.9 N push and pull ejects formed steel panels from a die at equal speed, with the rear rod driving a scrap-detect sensor flag.
A warehouse palletizing line uses the through-rod to swing heavy safety gates both ways, the 192 kg vertical-lift equivalent covering the gate mass with margin.
An automotive bracket press clamps with 2262 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa while CMSE switches on the fitted magnet confirm both end positions.
At 3769.9 N per direction, this bore sits between the 80 mm frame (2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa) and the 125 mm frame (5890.5 N at 0.5 MPa); step down for lighter clamping, up for heavy stamping. The 150 mm stroke is well inside the 300 mm standard limit for bore 100, so no made-to-order build is needed. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check where a load must stay put. FA/FB flanges, LB feet and FTC brackets bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and I/Y rod knuckles suit the male thread.
Quick checklist
Yes - the double-rod design means both strokes use the rod-side area, so output is equal either way: 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa, with a peak of 768.8 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, air filtered to 40 um.
The compact aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, freeing space in tight machine frames. The S in the code means the magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount in the body slots; models ordered without -S carry no magnet. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke impact.
