Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X20SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X20SB 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 ACED100X20SB
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED100X20SB pushes a 100 mm bore through a 20 mm stroke with a rod leaving both covers. Because both strokes work on the rod-side area, output is identical in each direction: 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa. The through-rod resists rotation and side load, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag or a second tooling plate.
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 tight press fixtures and guarding. Plan on roughly 2262 N (about 231 kgf) of usable work at 0.5 MPa, or size a vertical lift near 192 kg with a 2:1 margin. The male rod thread (B code) and the fitted -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches are ready out of the box; fixed TPU bumpers absorb end-of-stroke shock at both covers.

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 ACED100X20SB Is Used
Baler ram guide
The symmetric through-rod keeps a 100 mm compaction ram aligned in a scrap or textile baler, delivering 3769.9 N on both the push and return stroke at 0.5 MPa.
Twin-sided press fixture
Male rod thread drives a forming die forward while the rear rod returns a stripper plate, using equal 5277.9 N forces at 0.7 MPa in a 20 mm punch cycle.
Gantry Z-slide with position feedback
The fitted -S magnet reads CMSE / DMSE switches along the body, confirming end positions of a 192 kg-class vertical lift slide inside a compact machine frame.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X20SB the Right Cylinder?
At 3769.9 N per direction at 0.5 MPa, the 100 mm bore sits between the 80 mm (2356.2 N) and 125 mm (5890.5 N) classes - step down for lighter clamping, up for heavy press work. The 20 mm stroke is well inside the 300 mm standard range for this bore. Remember the piston will drift if air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve for a held vertical load. FA/FB flanges, LB feet, FTC brackets and I/Y rod knuckles bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face, and PT ports take standard fittings.
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 ACED100X20SB FAQ
Force is equal in both directions because a rod exits each cover and both strokes use the rod-side area: 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa, 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa, with a peak of 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, air filtered to 40 um.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with fixed TPU bumpers at both ends to soften stroke ends. This version carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clipped into the body slots; models ordered without the S code have no magnet. FA/FB flange, LB foot, FTC and I/Y knuckles mount on the standard face.
