Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X40S
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X40S 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 ACED100X40S
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED100X40S pushes a 100 mm bore through a 40 mm stroke with a rod leaving BOTH covers, so thrust is identical on each stroke: 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa, either direction. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries magnet slots along its full length, and this model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clipped on for end-of-stroke signalling. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof rating, running 30-500 mm/s from -20 to +70 C.
The through-rod on the 20 mm rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, while the rear rod can carry a sensor flag or a second tooling plate. Fixed TPU bumpers at both ends absorb end-of-stroke shock. Because the short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, it slots into presses, clamping fixtures and gantries where a full-length body will not fit. In practice the 3769.9 N rating at 0.5 MPa means the rod lifts about 192 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin, or handles roughly 2262 N of real work at the same pressure.

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 ACED100X40S Is Used
Baling and compaction press
The 3769.9 N through-stroke at 0.5 MPa compresses scrap, cardboard or powder in a compact press frame, with the rear rod driving a stripper plate in sync.
Pallet straddle lift head
Lifting about 192 kg vertically at 0.5 MPa with a 2:1 margin, the symmetric double rod keeps a fork or clamp bar level without a guide column.
Gantry pick station with position feedback
With the -S magnet fitted, CMSE or DMSE switches report rod position on both ends of the 40 mm stroke, ideal for a short-stroke z-axis drop in an assembly gantry.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X40S the Right Cylinder?
At 100 mm bore this is the second-strongest ACED size: 3769.9 N per direction at 0.5 MPa, sitting above the 63 mm bore (1458.1 N) and below the 125 mm bore (5890.5 N). If your load needs under 1500 N, step down to the 63 mm; if it needs over 4000 N, move to the 125 mm. Note that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - for a held load add a rod lock or pilot check valve. FA/FB flanges, LB feet, FTC brackets and I/Y rod knuckles bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face; the S in this code means the magnet is already fitted for CMSE / DMSE switches.
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 ACED100X40S 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, with a peak of 768.8 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, air filtered to 40 um.
The compact body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so a 40 mm stroke fits tight fixtures and guards. Fixed TPU bumpers at both ends absorb end-of-stroke impact. Mounting brackets (FA/FB flange, LB foot, FTC) and I/Y rod knuckles bolt to the standard ISO 21287 face, and the fitted -S magnet accepts CMSE / DMSE switches.
