The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X225SB 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 compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED100X225SB pushes a 100 mm bore through a 225 mm stroke with a piston rod leaving BOTH covers. Because each side of the piston sees 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, both ways. The male-threaded 20 mm rod at each end gives you a symmetric mount and a rear rod that can carry a sensor flag or share the side load.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so a 225 mm stroke fits gantries and press fixtures that cannot spare full-length space. Working the numbers: at 0.5 MPa the 3769.9 N rating translates to about 384 kg of vertical lift, so halving for a 2:1 margin lets you confidently raise parts around 190 kg. The S in the code means the magnet is fitted, so CMSE / DMSE switches read position straight off the body slots, and fixed TPU bumpers absorb the 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.
| 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.
The symmetric 3769.9 N output at 0.5 MPa clamps and retracts steel weldments in automotive press tooling with identical force both ways, and the 225 mm stroke clears deep die pockets.
With roughly 190 kg of usable vertical lift at a 2:1 margin, the through-rod raises and lowers pallet nests on packaging lines while resisting the rotation a single-rod setup can introduce.
A rod on each cover lets one cylinder divert heavy cartons from either face on a bottling line, with the fitted magnet and CMSE switches confirming home and extended positions.
At 3769.9 N per direction at 0.5 MPa, this bore sits between the 80 mm ACED (2356.2 N) and the 125 mm ACED (5890.5 N), so pick 80 mm if your load stays under about 1400 N of real work and step to 125 mm only when the extra force is genuinely needed. Remember that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - for a held vertical load add a rod lock or pilot check valve. FA/FB flanges, LB feet and FTC brackets bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face, and this SB version gives you a male rod thread with PT ports on a 1/4" supply.
Quick checklist
Both directions equally, because the double-rod design exposes the rod-side area on each stroke: 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 at 30-500 mm/s on air filtered to 40 um.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so a 225 mm stroke fits tight gantries. The S code means the magnet is fitted on this model, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount in the body slots for end-of-stroke detection, and fixed TPU bumpers at both covers absorb the impact. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets attach directly to the standard face.
