Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X250S
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X250S 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.

About the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X250S
The ACED100X250S is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to ISO 21287: a 100 mm bore pushes and pulls with identical force because a 20 mm rod exits both covers and both strokes work on the rod-side area. At 0.5 MPa it delivers 3769.9 N in either direction, rising to 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa. The 250 mm stroke sits inside the 300 mm standard range for this bore, and the -S code means the magnet is already fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clipped onto the body straight away.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with a roller-burnished bore pairs with an S45C hard-chrome-plated rod, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it suits press fixtures and gantries where every millimetre of envelope counts. In practice, plan on roughly 2262 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, and for vertical work the rod-side force equates to about 384 kg, so halving that gives a 2:1 margin - it lifts about 192 kg vertically.

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 ACED100X250S Is Used
Press fixture clamping
A 250 mm stroke with 3769.9 N both ways suits heavy stamping or forming jigs where the clamp and eject faces must push with the same force, and the through-rod resists rotation under off-centre loads.
Vertical lift-and-lower stations
With about 192 kg of vertical lift at a 2:1 margin on the 100 mm bore, the back-end rod can carry a sensor flag or counter-guide while CMSE switches report up and down positions.
Conveyor pusher arms
Equal force in both directions makes the double rod ideal for diverting or rejecting heavy cartons on packaging lines, with the fixed TPU bumpers softening each end of the 250 mm travel.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X250S the Right Cylinder?
At 100 mm bore this is near the top of the ACED range: the 63 mm bore gives 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa and the 125 mm bore reaches 5890.5 N, so step down or up depending on whether 3769.9 N is comfortably above or below your load. Remember the piston drifts if 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 to the ISO 21287 face, and I or Y rod knuckles suit the 20 mm rod; the fitted -S magnet means CMSE / DMSE position switches work without reordering.
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 ACED100X250S FAQ
Yes - because a rod exits both covers, both strokes use the rod-side area, so force is equal either way: 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum of 768.8 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the 250 mm stroke is within the 300 mm standard range for this bore.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits shallow guards and gantry frames. The S in the model code means the magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount in the body slots for end-of-stroke or mid-position sensing without any modification.
