The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X25SB is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 25mm 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.
The ACED100X25SB is a double acting, double-rod ISO 21287 compact cylinder: a 20 mm rod exits both covers, so the 100 mm bore delivers the same 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa (5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa) on every stroke, with no push-versus-pull difference to design around. The male rod thread (B code) suits external nuts and tooling plates, and the fitted -S magnet lets CMSE / DMSE switches report both end positions.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod runs at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-500 mm/s and -20 to +70 C, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end. Because the short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, this 25 mm stroke unit slots into presses and clamping gantries where a full-length body cannot. As a sizing rule, treat roughly 2262 N as the usable working force at 0.5 MPa, and the through-rod will lift about 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).

|---|---|
| 100 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×25 | 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 both ways suits a short-stroke marking or embossing press, and the 25 mm stroke keeps the die head inside a tight guard.
A through-rod lifting about 192 kg vertically with margin, with the rear rod carrying a sensor flag for stroke confirmation on the lift table.
Rod exits on both covers let one cylinder clamp a fixture from two faces with equal force, while CMSE switches (via the fitted magnet) verify the closed state.
At 3769.9 N per direction this bore 100 unit sits far above the 50 mm class (881.2 N at 0.5 MPa); if your load needs under half that, the 80 mm bore (2356.2 N) is the leaner choice. The 25 mm stroke is well inside the 300 mm standard limit for bore 100, so no made-to-order build is required. FA/FB flanges, LB foot and FTC brackets bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and I/Y knuckles suit the male rod thread. Note that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put.
Quick checklist
Being double-rod, force is equal in both directions: 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa (rod-side area, both strokes). Peak rating is about 768.8 kgf at 1.0 MPa. For real work, plan on roughly 2262 N at 0.5 MPa, which corresponds to lifting about 192 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder whose short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end and 1/4" PT ports. The S in the code means the optional -S magnet is fitted on this model, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clamped into the body slots; without the -S code there is no magnet.
