The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X175S 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.
The ACED100X175S is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to ISO 21287: a piston rod leaves both covers, so push and pull force are identical because both strokes work on the rod-side area. At 0.5 MPa this 100 mm bore delivers 3769.9 N in either direction, rising to 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa. The through-rod resists rotation and side load, and the rear rod gives you a free mounting point or a sensor flag. Its hard-anodized aluminium body is about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into gantries and press fixtures where a full-length body cannot.
The S in the code means the optional -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clipped onto the body slots for end-of-stroke signalling. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs stroke-end shock, the S45C hard-chrome plated rod handles wear, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s. As a rule of thumb, plan on roughly 2262 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa, which is about 115 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin - enough to raise a loaded pallet clamp or a heavy weldment fixture. Air supply is filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), temperature -20 to +70 C.

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).

| ×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 symmetric through-rod lifts a pallet-clamp platen squarely from both sides; with about 115 kg of vertical lift capacity at a 2:1 margin, the 100 mm bore handles loaded pallets on packaging lines.
In automotive weld cells the equal 3769.9 N force both ways clamps heavy stampings identically on approach and return, while the short ISO 21287 body fits between fixture rails.
The fitted -S magnet lets CMSE / DMSE switches ride the body slots, so a gantry press reports mid-stroke and end positions over the 175 mm travel without external flags.
Step down to an ACED80 (2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa) when the load is under about 230 kgf, or step up to an ACED125 (5890.5 N) for presses and heavy clamping. The 175 mm stroke sits well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it ships as a catalogue item. Note that like any plain double-rod cylinder it will drift if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must be held. Mount with FA/FB flanges, LB foot or FTC brackets plus I/Y rod knuckles, and the fitted -S magnet pairs with CMSE / DMSE switches. Female M12x1.75 rod thread, PT ports, 1/4".
Quick checklist
Yes - the double-rod design means a rod exits both covers, so 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 in push and pull, with a maximum of 768.8 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s.
The S means the optional -S magnet is fitted on this model, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be mounted in the body slots for position sensing. The ISO 21287 compact body is hard-anodized aluminium with an S45C hard-chrome rod, about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a fixed TPU bumper at each stroke end and FA/FB, LB or FTC mounting options.
