Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X20B
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X20B 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.

About the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X20B
A double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED100X20B pushes a 100 mm bore through a short 20 mm stroke with a piston rod leaving both covers. Because each side of the piston sees the rod-side area, output force is identical in both directions: 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa. The 1/4" port serves this bore size, and the male rod thread from the B code bolts straight to your tooling.
The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, so the rear rod can carry a sensor flag or a second fixture. Its short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into tight presses and gantries. In practice, plan on roughly 2262 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, and expect it to lift about 192 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock, speed runs 30-500 mm/s, and pressure spans 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.
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 ACED100X20B Is Used
Short-stroke press station
A 20 mm stroke with 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa suits a benchtop marking or staking press on aluminium brackets, where the compact body fits under a low gantry frame.
Reciprocating transfer slide
The through-rod lets a rear sensor flag ride the back rod on a pallet transfer slide, with equal 5277.9 N thrust at 0.7 MPa in each direction of travel.
Dual-side clamping fixture
Rods on both covers clamp a machined housing from two sides in one fixture, each side delivering the same rod-side force without a second cylinder.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X20B the Right Cylinder?
At 100 mm bore this is a heavy-thrust class: 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa both ways. Step down to the 80 mm bore (2356.2 N) for lighter clamping, or up to 125 mm (5890.5 N) when the load demands more. The 20 mm stroke sits well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it is a catalogue item, not a made-to-order build.
This unit has no magnet fitted, so position switches cannot be mounted; order the -S code instead if you need CMSE / DMSE sensing. Remember that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, so pair it with a rod lock or pilot check for held loads. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets plus I/Y rod knuckles bolt to the ISO 21287 face.
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 ACED100X20B FAQ
It is double acting with a rod exiting both covers, so force is equal both ways: 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa in each direction, peaking at 768.8 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C, with air filtered to 40 um.
The hard-anodized aluminium body follows ISO 21287, saving about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with an S45C hard-chrome plated 20 mm rod. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. This ACED100X20B has no magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches need the optional -S magnet code; mounting choices include FA/FB flange, LB foot, FTC, and I/Y rod knuckles.
