Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X30
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X30 is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 30mm 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 ACED100X30
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED100X30 pushes a 100 mm bore through a 30 mm stroke with a piston 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. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into presses, clamping fixtures and machine frames where a full-length body simply will not fit.
The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag or a second tooling plate. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock. The hard-anodized aluminium body with a burnished bore runs against an S45C hard-chrome-plated rod at 30-500 mm/s on air filtered to 40 um. As a planning figure, treat roughly 2262 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa rating) as the usable working force, which corresponds to lifting about 115 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.
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 ACED100X30 Is Used
Symmetric press fixture
The equal 3769.9 N force in both directions lets one ACED100X30 clamp a steel workpiece on the forward stroke and eject it on the return, with the 30 mm stroke matching a shallow die pocket.
Pick-and-place lift assist
With about 115 kg of usable vertical capacity at a 2:1 margin, the through-rod can carry a gripper on one end and a guide plate on the other in an automotive panel transfer unit.
Reciprocating slide drive
A double-rod body driving a conveyor gate or indexing slide from either end keeps the mount symmetric, while the rear rod carries a flag for a position check on packaging machinery.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X30 the Right Cylinder?
At 3769.9 N per side at 0.5 MPa, the 100 mm bore sits between the 80 mm size (2356.2 N) and the 125 mm size (5890.5 N), so pick it when an 80 mm rod-side force is marginal but 125 mm is oversized. The 30 mm stroke is well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore. Remember that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - if the load must stay put, add a rod lock or pilot check valve. FA/FB flanges, LB feet, FTC brackets and I/Y rod knuckles bolt to the ISO 21287 face; the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches, and this model ships without it.
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 ACED100X30 FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design exposes the rod-side area on both strokes, so output 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 1/4" port suits the 100 mm bore.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder, roughly 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome rod. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy but never holds a load - use a rod lock or pilot check for that. FA/FB flange, LB foot, FTC and I/Y knuckle hardware mounts directly. Position sensing needs the optional -S magnet code; this unit has no magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches cannot be fitted unless you order the -S version.
