The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X300SB 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 ACED100X300SB 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 both directions: 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa. The hard-anodized aluminium body is about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into presses, gantries and guarding where a full-length body cannot fit.
The through-rod resists rotation and side load, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag or a second tooling plate. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount directly in the body slots, and the B code gives a male rod thread. With 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa, plan on roughly 2262 N of usable work, which lifts about 192 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s and the fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock.

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).

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 3769.9 N both-ways force at 0.5 MPa presses bearings or bushings into housings on an automotive assembly line, with the return stroke delivering equal force for part ejection.
A 300 mm stroke lifting about 192 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin raises and lowers totes between conveyor levels in a warehouse transfer unit.
The symmetric through-rod drives a paint or wash nozzle carriage back and forth at 30-500 mm/s, with the rear rod carrying a CMSE switch target for stroke feedback.
At 100 mm bore this sits near the top of the ACED range: step down to the 80 mm bore (2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa) for lighter clamping, or up to the 125 mm bore (5890.5 N) when the load demands it. The 300 mm stroke matches the maximum standard stroke for this bore, so no made-to-order length is needed. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve for a held load. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and I/Y rod knuckles suit the male-threaded rod.
Quick checklist
Yes. As a double-rod cylinder, both strokes act on the rod-side area, so force is equal pushing and pulling: 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa. At the full 1.0 MPa rating the peak is 768.8 kgf. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, on air filtered to 40 um.
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 straight to its face. This version includes the -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clipped into the body slots for end-of-stroke detection. The fixed TPU bumper at each end decelerates the piston; it does not hold or brake a load, so use a rod lock or pilot check where position must be kept.
