The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X175 is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 175mm 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.
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACED100X175 pushes and pulls with identical force because each stroke works on the rod-side area. At 0.5 MPa the 100 mm bore delivers 3769.9 N in either direction, rising to 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 a 175 mm stroke unit still slots into presses, gantries and guarding where a full-length body would not fit.
The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag or a second tooling plate. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. For planning, treat roughly 2262 N (about 230 kg of push) as the usable working force at 0.5 MPa, or expect around 192 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s across 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).

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.
| 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).

|---|---|
| 100 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×175 | Stroke length in mm. |
| S | Optional built-in magnet for CMSE / DMSE sensors (omit for no magnet). |
| B | Rod type: B = male thread; blank = female thread. |
ACE-family variants: ACE (double acting), ASE / ATE (single acting push / pull), ACED (double rod), ACEJ (adjustable stroke), TACE / TACED (non-rotating twin-guide yoke). Mounting accessories: FA / FB flange, LB foot, CA / CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, FTC; plus I and Y knuckles. Thread PT (blank) / G.
The 3769.9 N bidirectional force at 0.5 MPa suits staking, crimping and light forming on aluminium brackets, with the return stroke delivering the same force for part ejection.
A rod on each cover lets the ACED100X175 drive a workpiece on the front rod while the rear rod carries a counterweight or sensor flag on a packaging line.
With about 192 kg of vertical lift capacity at a 2:1 margin, the through-rod handles palletizer pusher arms and lift stations where symmetric mounting matters.
At this bore size the 100 mm ACED sits between the 80 mm version (2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa) and the 125 mm version (5890.5 N at 0.5 MPa); choose down when the load is under 2000 N and up when you need over 4000 N. The 175 mm stroke is within the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for bore 100, so it ships as a catalog item. Note that a plain double-rod cylinder will drift if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must be held. Mounting bolts straight onto the ISO 21287 face: FA/FB flange, LB foot or FTC brackets with I/Y rod knuckles. If you need position feedback, order the -S code so CMSE / DMSE switches can ride the body slots; without -S there is no magnet fitted.
Quick checklist
Yes - the double-rod design means both strokes use the rod-side area, so output is equal either way: 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 pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the 1/4" port matches the 100 mm bore.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder whose short hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end and a female M12x1.75 rod thread. Magnet slots run along the body, but the magnet is the optional -S code - only then can CMSE or DMSE switches be clipped on; the standard unit has no magnet.
