Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X15S
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X15S 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 ACED100X15S
This double acting, double-rod compact cylinder pushes a 100 mm bore through a short 15 mm stroke, and because a rod leaves both covers the output is 3769.9 N in either direction at 0.5 MPa (5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa). The hard-anodized aluminium body keeps the mounting length roughly 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into presses, clamping bridges and gantry heads where a full-length body will not fit. The 20 mm hard-chrome-plated S45C rod on each end also resists rotation and carries a symmetric fixture mount.
For sizing, treat about 2260 N (roughly 230 kg) as the usable working force at 0.5 MPa instead of the full rating; in vertical terms the rod side can lift about 192 kg with a 2:1 margin. The fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock, speed spans 30-500 mm/s, and the fitted -S magnet lets CMSE / DMSE switches report end positions. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) filtered to 40 um, with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof limit and -20 to +70 C operation.

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 ACED100X15S Is Used
Short-throw press ram
A 15 mm stroke with 3769.9 N per side at 0.5 MPa suits a compact stamping or marking head on an electronics assembly line, where the double rod keeps the ram square under off-center parts.
Clamping bridge on a machining fixture
The short ISO 21287 body fits under a fixture bridge where a longer profile cylinder would collide with the spindle envelope, and the rear rod can carry a workpiece stop or sensor flag.
Position-verified lift table
With the fitted -S magnet and CMSE / DMSE switches, a small parts elevator gets end-of-travel confirmation; at 0.5 MPa the rod side handles about 192 kg of vertical load with a 2:1 margin.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X15S the Right Cylinder?
At 3769.9 N per side at 0.5 MPa, the 100 mm bore sits above the 80 mm class (2356.2 N) and below the 125 mm class (5890.5 N); drop to 80 mm for lighter clamps or step up to 125 mm for heavy tooling. The 15 mm stroke is well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so no made-to-order build is needed. Remember the piston will drift if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must stay held. The female M12x1.75 rod thread and 1/4" PT ports accept standard fittings, FA/FB flanges, LB feet and FTC brackets bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and this -S version already carries the magnet for CMSE / DMSE sensing.
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 ACED100X15S FAQ
Yes - it is a double-rod cylinder, so a rod exits both covers and 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 push and pull, with a maximum of 768.8 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Plan real work around 2260 N (about 230 kg) at 0.5 MPa, or roughly 192 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin.
The -S code on this model means the magnet is fitted, so CMSE reed or DMSE solid-state switches clamp into the body slots for end-position signals. Mounting uses the ISO 21287 face: FA/FB flanges, LB feet and FTC brackets, plus I and Y rod knuckles on the 20 mm rods. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke impact.
