The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X225S 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 through-rod cylinder built to the ISO 21287 compact format, the ACED100X225S pushes a 100 mm bore over a 225 mm stroke with a rod leaving both covers. Because each side works on the rod-side area, output is identical in either direction: 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into presses, gantries and guarding where a full-length body cannot go.
The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a roller-burnished bore, and the 20 mm S45C rod is hard-chrome plated for long seal life. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock, and the through-rod resists rotation and side load while giving a symmetric mount - the rear rod can even carry a sensor flag. The fitted -S magnet lets CMSE / DMSE switches report position along the body slots. As a working rule, keep real duty near 2262 N (about 0.6 of the 0.5 MPa rating), which corresponds to lifting roughly 192 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

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).
| ACED | ISO 21287 compact cylinder (double-rod). |
|---|---|
| 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.
Equal 3769.9 N force in both directions lets one 225 mm stroke compact scrap on the way in and eject the block on the way out with the same cylinder.
The through-rod guides the platen from both ends, and the 192 kg vertical-lift equivalent with a 2:1 margin matches loaded pallet trays in a warehouse cell.
A rod at each cover clamps a machined housing from two faces simultaneously on a CNC line, with CMSE switches confirming grip via the fitted magnet.
Size between the ACED63X225S (1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa) and the ACED125X225S (5890.5 N at 0.5 MPa) if 3769.9 N leaves too much or too little headroom. Remember this cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. FA/FB flanges, LB feet and FTC brackets bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face, and I/Y rod knuckles suit the 20 mm male-threaded workpiece side. Air supply: 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), filtered to 40 um, speed 30-500 mm/s.
Quick checklist
Yes - the double-rod design works on the rod-side area in both directions, so force is equal either way: 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa, 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa, and up to 768.8 kgf at the 1.0 MPa maximum. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, running 30-500 mm/s on air filtered to 40 um.
This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed / solid-state switches clip into the body slots for end-of-stroke or mid-stroke signals. Each end of travel is decelerated by a fixed TPU bumper; it is not adjustable and it does not hold the piston, so use a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay in place on air loss.
