About the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X250B
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED100X250B pushes a 100 mm bore through a 250 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, with a peak of 768.8 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The male-threaded rod end (B code) bolts straight into standard tooling plates.
The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, and the back-end rod can carry a sensor flag on gantries and lift stations. Its hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight machine frames. Plan on roughly 2262 N (about 60% of the rating) for real work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 192 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and a fixed TPU bumper sits at both stroke ends.

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 ACED100X250B Is Used
Pallet-stacker clamp arms
The symmetric through-rod clamps a 190 kg pallet load from either side with equal 3769.9 N grip force, and the 250 mm stroke clears the fork pocket in one move.
Die-cart lift column
A pair of rods on one piston keeps a stamping die cart level through its 250 mm lift, with about 192 kg vertical capacity per cylinder at a 2:1 margin.
Bottle-line pusher gate
Rod-side force in both directions lets the gate push and retract a full PET bottle lane at the same 3769.9 N, cycling at 30-500 mm/s between fixed TPU bumpers.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X250B the Right Cylinder?
At 3769.9 N per direction this bore 100 unit sits between the 80 mm frame (2356.2 N) and the 125 mm frame (5890.5 N), so step down when the load is under 2300 N and up when it exceeds 3800 N. The 250 mm stroke is within the 300 mm standard limit for this bore, so no made-to-order build is needed. Remember it drifts if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check where a load must stay put. This version has no magnet; order the -S code if CMSE / DMSE switches are planned, and pick FA/FB flange, LB foot or FTC brackets plus I/Y rod knuckles to suit the fixture.
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 ACED100X250B FAQ
It is a double-rod cylinder, so force is EQUAL both ways: 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa in each direction, peaking at 768.8 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Both strokes use the rod-side area because a 20 mm rod exits each cover. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and FA/FB flange, LB foot or FTC brackets bolt to the standard face. Switches work only when you order the optional -S magnet code, which enables CMSE / DMSE sensors; this model, ordered without S, carries no magnet. The fixed TPU bumper at each end simply decelerates the piston - it never holds a load, so use a rod lock or pilot check for that.
