Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X40
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X40 is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 40mm 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 ACED100X40
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED100X40 pushes a 100 mm piston through a 40 mm stroke with a rod leaving BOTH covers, so thrust is identical on the extend and retract strokes: 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa (max 768.8 kgf at 1.0 MPa). The through-rod resists rotation and side load, and the rear rod end can carry a sensor flag or a second tooling plate. Air supply is filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), running 30-500 mm/s between -20 and +70 C.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome-plated rod saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so this heavy-thrust short body slots into press fixtures and gantries where a full-length cylinder cannot. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock. Plan on roughly 2262 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 192 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. FA/FB flanges, LB feet and FTC brackets bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches.

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 ACED100X40 Is Used
Short-stroke press riveting
The 3769.9 N both-ways thrust at 0.5 MPa drives a rivet or staking punch through a 40 mm stroke inside a compact press head too tight for a full-length profile cylinder.
Gantry pick-and-place clamp
A rod on each cover lets the rear rod carry a workpiece locator while the front rod clamps, lifting about 192 kg vertically with margin, and the short body keeps the Z-axis gantry low.
Machining-centre fixture clamping
Equal force on extend and retract clamps a cast housing against a hard stop or releases it with the same 3769.9 N, with an LB foot mount bolted directly to the machine table.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X40 the Right Cylinder?
At 3769.9 N per direction, the 100 mm bore sits between the 80 mm bore (2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa) and the 125 mm bore (5890.5 N at 0.5 MPa); step down for lighter clamping or up when the 40 mm stroke must break a stiff press fit. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check when the load must stay put. Order the -S code if CMSE / DMSE position sensing is needed, and pick FA/FB flange, LB foot or FTC hardware plus an I or Y rod knuckle to match the fixture.
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 ACED100X40 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, 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa, and up to 768.8 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, air filtered to 40 um, speed 30-500 mm/s and -20 to +70 C.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder whose hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end to absorb end-of-stroke shock. The magnet is the optional -S code - order it and CMSE / DMSE switches can be slid into the body slots; without -S no magnet is fitted. FA/FB flanges, LB feet, FTC brackets and I/Y rod knuckles bolt straight to the standard face.
