Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X250
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X250 is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 250mm 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 ACED100X250
The ACED100X250 is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to the ISO 21287 short-body format, with a 100 mm bore and a 250 mm stroke. A 20 mm hard-chrome-plated S45C rod exits BOTH covers, so the through-rod resists rotation and side load and the force is identical on the extend and return strokes: 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction. Air ports are 1/4" (PT), and the fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with roller-burnished bore cuts the mounting length to roughly half that of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which matters on long-stroke presses and gantries where every millimetre of envelope counts. For sizing, treat about 0.6 of the 0.5 MPa rating as usable, so plan work around 2260 N; that is a vertical-lift equivalent of about 384 kg, or roughly 192 kg with a 2:1 margin. FA/FB flanges, LB feet and FTC brackets bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches - without -S there is no magnet fitted.

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 ACED100X250 Is Used
Baler ram for scrap aluminium offcuts
The 3769.9 N force on both strokes lets the ram push and retract the compacted billet with equal authority, while the 250 mm stroke covers a deep bin in a body about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder.
Pallet elevator on a food-packaging line
With a usable vertical margin of roughly 192 kg at a 2:1 factor, the through-rod carries the platform symmetrically from both ends and resists the rotation that a single-rod lift would introduce.
Gate actuator on a foundry sand moulding station
The back-end rod carries a sensor flag for the interlock sequence, and the 30-500 mm/s speed range matches the fast open-close cycle; add the -S magnet to read position with CMSE / DMSE switches.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X250 the Right Cylinder?
At 3769.9 N per side at 0.5 MPa, the 100 mm bore suits heavy clamping, lifting and pressing duty. Step down to the 63 mm bore (1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa) for lighter loads, or up to the 125 mm bore (5890.5 N) when you need more thrust in the same compact format. The 250 mm stroke sits inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it is a catalogue item, not a made-to-order build.
Remember this is a plain double-rod cylinder: if the load must stay put when air is lost, add a rod lock or pilot check valve. Choose the female M12x1.75 rod thread as coded here, or order the B variant for a male thread, and add the -S code only if you plan to run CMSE / DMSE position switches.
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 ACED100X250 FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design means both strokes work on the rod-side area, so force is equal extending and returning: 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction. The maximum rating at 1.0 MPa is 768.8 kgf. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and speed range 30-500 mm/s.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets bolt directly to its standard face. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. Position sensing requires the optional -S magnet code - without it no magnet is fitted and no CMSE / DMSE switch can be mounted.
