Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X45B
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X45B is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 45mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body.

About the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X45B
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED100X45B pushes a 100 mm bore through a 45 mm stroke with a 20 mm rod exiting BOTH covers. Because both strokes work on the rod-side area, output is a symmetric 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa in each direction - there is no weaker pull stroke. The male rod thread (B code) bolts straight to your tooling, and the fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into presses, gantries and guarding where a full-length body will not fit. In practice, plan on roughly 2262 N (about 60% of rating) for real work at 0.5 MPa, which corresponds to lifting around 192 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a roller-burnished bore, the S45C rod is hard-chrome plated, and ports are 1/4" PT. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s over 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) of clean, 40 um filtered air.

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 ACED100X45B Is Used
Compact stamping press head
The symmetric 3769.9 N thrust in a body roughly half the length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder lets the press head sit inside a tight die cart or C-frame without extending the machine footprint.
Pallet lift-and-lower post
A rod on both ends gives a symmetric top-and-bottom mount for a 45 mm lift of about 192 kg with margin, while the through-rod resists rotation of the lifting plate.
Dual-side clamp fixture
Equal force both directions means one valve cycle clamps a machined housing from both rod ends with identical 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa, ideal for CNC machining fixtures.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X45B the Right Cylinder?
At this bore you are in heavy-thrust territory: 3769.9 N per direction at 0.5 MPa. If your load needs under 1458 N, step down to the 63 mm bore; if you need beyond 5890 N, the 125 mm bore is the next size up. Note that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - for a held vertical load, pair it with a rod lock or pilot check valve. This version has no magnet, so position sensing requires reordering with the optional -S code to enable CMSE / DMSE switches. Mount with FA/FB flanges, LB feet or FTC brackets on the standard ISO 21287 face, and use I or Y rod knuckles at the male-threaded rod ends.
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 ACED100X45B FAQ
Yes - it is a double-rod cylinder, so a 20 mm rod exits both covers and every stroke uses the rod-side area. Output is 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa, identical push and pull, with a maximum of 768.8 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
The ISO 21287 compact body is hard-anodized aluminium with a roller-burnished bore, about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with fixed TPU bumpers at both ends and 1/4" PT ports. This model has no magnet fitted; order the -S version to enable CMSE / DMSE switches in the body slots. FA/FB flanges, LB feet and FTC brackets bolt to the standard face.
