Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X20
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X20 is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 20mm 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 ACED100X20
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACED100X20 delivers 3769.9 N in each direction at 0.5 MPa because both strokes work on the rod-side area. The 100 mm bore sits in the heavy class of the ISO 21287 short-body family, and the 20 mm through-rod on the rear cover gives a symmetric mount plus a ready place to carry a sensor flag. Its 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.
The hard-anodized aluminium barrel carries an S45C hard-chrome rod, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock. Running at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and 30-500 mm/s, it can lift about 192 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin (3769.9 N / 9.81, halved). Note that it does not hold position if air is lost - pair it with a rod lock or pilot check for a held load.

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 ACED100X20 Is Used
Short-stroke press station
The 3769.9 N double-direction thrust at 0.5 MPa suits a 20 mm staking or marking press on an assembly line, with the rear rod guiding a tool plate.
Pallet ejector in a tight cell
The short ISO 21287 body fits under low conveyor frames where a full-length profile cylinder cannot, pushing pallets off a 100 mm-wide lane.
Clamp fixture on a CNC fixture plate
Equal force both ways lets one ACED100X20 clamp and release a machining fixture, with the through-rod resisting rotation under side load.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X20 the Right Cylinder?
At this force class, bore 80 gives 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa and bore 125 gives 5890.5 N, so pick the 100 mm when you need roughly 3.8 kN both ways in a short body. The 20 mm stroke suits short clamp or eject moves; longer travels up to 300 mm are standard for this bore. Ports are 1/4" PT and the rod end is female M12x1.75. Choose the -S code if you want the optional magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches, and match FA/FB flange, LB foot or FTC brackets to your fixture.
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 ACED100X20 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it delivers 3769.9 N, and at 0.7 MPa it delivers 5277.9 N - the same in both directions because the double-rod design exposes the rod-side area on each stroke. Maximum output at 1.0 MPa is 768.8 kgf. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder whose hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a fixed TPU bumper at both ends. Position sensing is available only when you order the optional -S magnet code, which allows CMSE / DMSE switches; without -S no magnet is fitted.
