Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X160
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X160 is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 160mm 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 ACED100X160
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED100X160 pushes a 100 mm bore through a 160 mm stroke with a rod leaving BOTH covers, so thrust is identical on each stroke - 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa. The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag on clamping fixtures.
The short hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight presses and gantries. At 0.5 MPa plan on roughly 2262 N of usable work, which lifts about 192 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The S45C hard-chrome rod, TPU bumper at both ends and 30-500 mm/s speed range round out the spec; the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches.

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 ACED100X160 Is Used
Baler ram return sync
Equal 3769.9 N force on both strokes keeps a small recycling-baler platen balanced on extend and retract, with the through-rod guiding the platen against side load.
Pallet-stacker mast assist
About 192 kg of vertical lift capacity at a 2:1 margin suits counterbalance arms on warehouse stacker masts within the 160 mm stroke.
Twin-sided weld fixture
A rod on each cover lets one cylinder clamp from both faces of an automotive weld fixture, halving valve count on the fixture plate.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X160 the Right Cylinder?
At 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa this bore sits between the 80 mm (2356.2 N) and 125 mm (5890.5 N) sizes - step down for lighter clamps, up for heavy die work. Remember it drifts when air is lost; add a rod lock or pilot check for a held load. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the female M12x1.75 rod thread takes standard I/Y knuckles. Order the -S code if you need CMSE / DMSE switching.
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 ACED100X160 FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, output is EQUAL both ways: 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 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, air filtered to 40 um, -20 to +70 C.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end to absorb end-of-stroke energy. Sensing needs the optional -S magnet at order time - without it no CMSE / DMSE switch can be mounted. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets fit the standard face.
