Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X15SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X15SB 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 ACED100X15SB
A double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED100X15SB pushes a 100 mm bore through a short 15 mm stroke and delivers 3769.9 N in BOTH directions at 0.5 MPa (5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa), because a rod exits each cover and both strokes work on the rod-side area. The male rod thread (B code) suits external knuckles and tooling plates, 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 on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-500 mm/s, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into presses and clamping nests where a full-length body cannot. This unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches mount directly for end-position detection. As a rule of thumb, plan on roughly 2260 N of real work at 0.5 MPa; with a 2:1 margin that lifts about 115 kg vertically.

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 ACED100X15SB Is Used
Press ram return
The rear rod balances a 15 mm eject or return stroke on a small stamping press, with 3769.9 N available in each direction at 0.5 MPa.
Fixture clamping bridge
A symmetric through-rod clamps a machined housing from both sides of a CNC fixture, resisting rotation without extra guides.
Pallet stopper actuator
Short 15 mm throw raises and lowers a heavy pallet stop on a conveyor line, lifting parts of about 115 kg with a 2:1 margin.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X15SB the Right Cylinder?
Size between bores: a 63 mm double-rod unit gives 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa, while the next step up, bore 125, reaches 5890.5 N - so 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa sits squarely in heavy clamping territory. The 15 mm stroke is well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost; for a held load add a rod lock or pilot check valve. 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
- ✓ 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 ACED100X15SB FAQ
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, force is equal in both directions: 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa on every stroke, with a maximum of 768.8 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the 1/4" port matches the 100 mm 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 end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. This version carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE reed or DMSE solid-state switches clamp into the body slots for position sensing; FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets mount on the standard face.
