Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X20S
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X20S 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 ACED100X20S
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED100X20S pushes a 100 mm piston through a 20 mm stroke with a rod leaving BOTH covers. Because each side works on the rod-side area, output is identical either way: 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa, peaking at 768.8 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, while the rear rod can carry a sensor flag on clamping or press-fit stations.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into short press heads and weld fixtures. At 0.5 MPa plan on roughly 2260 N of usable work, which corresponds to lifting about 192 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. This -S model carries the optional magnet, so CMSE or DMSE switches read end positions directly; a fixed TPU bumper sits at both ends and speed spans 30-500 mm/s.

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 ACED100X20S Is Used
Short-stroke press head
A 20 mm stroke and 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa both ways suits staking or marking heads on aluminium extrusion lines where the compact body fits inside the press frame.
Weld fixture clamping
Equal 3769.9 N force in each direction clamps and releases car-body brackets with identical grip, and the rear rod drives a flag past a DMSE switch for weld-sequence interlocks.
Bottle-capper eject
On a bottling line the through-rod ejects capped bottles symmetrically at 30-500 mm/s, with the short ISO 21287 body mounted where a full-length cylinder would foul the guard.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X20S the Right Cylinder?
For a 20 mm stroke needing about 3.7 kN, bore 100 is the right class; step down to bore 80 (2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa) for lighter press work or up to bore 125 (5890.5 N) for heavy clamping. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check for held loads. Mount with FA/FB flanges, LB feet or FTC brackets on the ISO 21287 face, and keep the -S magnet in the code since CMSE / DMSE switching depends on it. Air supply: 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), filtered to 40 um.
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 ACED100X20S FAQ
It is a double-rod cylinder, so force is equal in both directions: 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. Bore is 100 mm, stroke 20 mm, rod 20 mm, and the air port is 1/4" (PT). Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure.
The S in ACED100X20S means the optional -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE reed or DMSE solid-state switches clamp into the body slots to signal both end positions. Without the S code there is no magnet. The body is hard-anodized aluminium to ISO 21287, about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end.
