The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X225B is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 225mm 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.
A double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED100X225B pushes a 100 mm bore through a 225 mm stroke with a rod leaving both covers. Because each side of the piston sees the rod-side area, output is identical in both directions: 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa. At 0.5 MPa that equals roughly 384 kgf, so halving for a 2:1 margin lets it lift about 192 kg vertically - a real number to match against part weight.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with a hard-chrome plated S45C rod runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-500 mm/s, from -20 to +70 C. Its short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into gantries and press fixtures where a full-length body will not fit. The through-rod resists rotation and side load, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag; a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock.

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).

|---|---|
| 100 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×225 | 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.
A 225 mm stroke pushing 3769.9 N each way suits a stamping or riveting head on a press jig, where the same force is needed on the return stroke to eject the part.
With about 192 kg of vertical lift at a 2:1 margin, the double rod guides a small pallet elevator or a scissor-linkage actuator without a separate guide post.
Equal force in both directions makes the through-rod ideal for a sorting gate that must divert cartons left or right with identical thrust, with the rear rod carrying a flag.
At this force class the 100 mm bore sits between the 80 mm (2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa) and the 125 mm (5890.5 N at 0.5 MPa), so step down or up if your load sits far from 3769.9 N. The 225 mm stroke is within the 300 mm standard range for bore 100, so no made-to-order build is needed. Remember that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put.
The B code gives a male rod thread; FA/FB flanges, LB foot and FTC brackets bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and I/Y rod knuckles suit the through-rod. This unit has no magnet - order the -S version if you want CMSE / DMSE switch position sensing.
Quick checklist
Because a rod exits both covers, force is equal in both directions: 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa (rod-side area both ways). The maximum rating at 1.0 MPa is 768.8 kgf. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, at 30-500 mm/s.
This unit is supplied without a magnet; the optional -S code adds one so CMSE or DMSE switches can be clipped into the body slots. The 1/4" PT ports serve the 100 mm bore, the B code gives a male rod thread, and FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets mount directly to the ISO 21287 face. The fixed TPU bumpers at both ends only soften end-of-stroke impact - they never hold a load.
