Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X15B
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X15B is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 15mm 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 ACED100X15B
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED100X15B pushes a 100 mm piston over a 15 mm stroke with a 20 mm rod leaving BOTH covers. Because each side sees the rod-side area, output is 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa in either direction - no push/pull imbalance. The male rod thread (B code) bolts straight to tooling, and the short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight press frames and guarding where a full-length body will not fit.
The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a roller-burnished bore, the S45C rod is hard-chrome plated, and a fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke shock at each cover. Run it on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-500 mm/s, -20 to 70 C. As a working rule, plan on roughly 2260 N (about 230 kgf) of usable push at 0.5 MPa, and expect it to lift around 192 kg vertically once you keep a 2:1 margin. Note: this code has no magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches need the optional -S version.

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 ACED100X15B Is Used
Short-stroke press station
The 15 mm stroke and 3769.9 N both-ways force make this a fit for stamping or marking heads on assembly lines where the ram only needs a quick, symmetric push.
Counter-balanced slide guide
A rod at each cover lets the rear rod carry a guide or sensor flag while the front rod drives a packaging machine slide, with equal force in both travel directions.
Lift-and-lower ejector
With about 192 kg vertical lift capacity at a 2:1 margin, the ACED100X15B ejects heavy castings or pallets from machining fixtures in tight quarters.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X15B the Right Cylinder?
At 3769.9 N per side at 0.5 MPa, bore 100 suits heavy clamping and short-stroke pressing. Step down to bore 63 (1458.1 N) for lighter loads or up to bore 125 (5890.5 N) when you need more muscle. The 15 mm stroke sits well inside the 300 mm max standard for this bore. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check for held loads. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets plus I/Y knuckles match the ISO 21287 face, and the male rod thread suits direct tooling attachment.
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 ACED100X15B FAQ
Yes - it is a double-rod cylinder, so both strokes use the rod-side area. Output is 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa, identical in each direction, with a peak of 768.8 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 100 mm bore takes a 1/4" port and the 15 mm stroke is within the 300 mm max standard for this bore.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and a fixed TPU bumper at each cover absorbs end-of-stroke energy - it decelerates only, it never holds or brakes a load. Switches (CMSE / DMSE) require the optional -S magnet code; this model without -S has no magnet fitted.
