About the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X160B
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED100X160B pushes a 100 mm bore through a 160 mm stroke with a rod leaving BOTH covers. Because each side sees 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, with a peak of 768.8 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The male rod thread from the B code bolts straight to your tooling, and the through-rod resists rotation and side load while the rear rod can carry a sensor flag on a fixture.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-500 mm/s, from -20 to +70 C, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end. As a rule of thumb, plan on roughly 2262 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 115 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into presses and gantries where a full-length body will not fit. No magnet is fitted on this code; order the optional -S version if you need CMSE / DMSE switch positions.

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 ACED100X160B Is Used
Baler ram for scrap aluminium offcuts
Equal 3769.9 N thrust in both directions lets the ram compact and retract with the same force, and the 160 mm stroke clears a shallow compaction chamber.
Pallet strapping press head
About 2262 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa seats strap buckles on palletized cartons, with the male rod thread picking up a quick-change press tool.
Twin-sided gate drive on a washdown conveyor
A rod on each cover gives a symmetric mount that resists rotation, driving a sliding guard or gate forward and back at up to 500 mm/s.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X160B the Right Cylinder?
At this force class the neighbours matter: the 80 mm bore ACED delivers 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the 125 mm bore gives 5890.5 N. If 3769.9 N both ways covers your clamp or press load, the 100 mm bore is the efficient pick. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check for a held load. Mount with FA/FB flange, LB foot or FTC brackets plus I/Y rod knuckles on the ISO 21287 face, and specify the -S code if CMSE / DMSE sensing is planned. The 160 mm stroke sits well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore.
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 ACED100X160B FAQ
Output is EQUAL both ways because a rod exits each cover and both strokes use the rod-side area: 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa, 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum of 768.8 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, air filtered to 40 um, speed 30-500 mm/s and -20 to +70 C.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a hard-anodized aluminium body, threaded aluminium covers, an S45C hard-chrome rod and a fixed TPU bumper at each end that only decelerates the stroke ends. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. This code has no magnet; order the optional -S version to enable CMSE / DMSE switches, and use FA/FB, LB or FTC mounts with I/Y rod knuckles.
