The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X300S is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 300mm 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.
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED100X300S pushes a 100 mm bore through a 300 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. The through-rod resists rotation and modest side load, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag or a second tooling plate.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome plated rod runs at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and 30-500 mm/s, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches mount directly in the body slots. At 0.5 MPa the rod-side force equals about 384 kgf, so halving for a 2:1 margin it lifts roughly 192 kg vertically; plan on around 2260 N of usable work force rather than the full rating.

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).

| 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 downstroke seats stacked cartons on a warehouse palletizing head, with the upper rod guiding a linear slide so the plate stays level.
A 300 mm stroke sweeps full bottles across a conveyor lane; the rear rod drives a position flag read by CMSE switches at each end of travel.
Roughly 192 kg of vertical lift capacity at a 2:1 margin indexes heavy coil cradles between stations on a metal processing line.
At this force class the nearest smaller step is the 80 mm bore at 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa, while the 125 mm bore reaches 5890.5 N - step down or up depending on your 300 mm stroke duty. Note that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve for a held load. Bolt FA/FB flanges, LB feet or FTC brackets to the ISO 21287 face, and remember the magnet is only present on -S codes like this one.
Quick checklist
It is a double-rod cylinder, so force is equal in both directions: 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 range 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.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so the 300 mm stroke fits deep guards and gantries. The fixed TPU bumper decelerates the piston at both ends of travel. This model carries the optional -S magnet, allowing CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches to clip into the body slots for end-of-stroke detection.
