About the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X45S
The ACED100X45S is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to ISO 21287: a piston rod leaves both covers of the hard-anodized aluminium body, so every stroke works on the rod-side area and the 100 mm bore delivers an equal 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa (5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa) whether it pushes or pulls. The -S code on this model means the magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clipped onto the body slots for end-of-stroke signalling.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why this size fits shallow presses, gantry Z-axes and guarded cells where a full-length body will not. The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag or a second tool. With 45 mm of travel the piston lifts roughly 384 kg vertically at 0.5 MPa, so planning for about half of that, near 192 kg, keeps a comfortable 2:1 margin on real part weights. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock, and speed spans 30-500 mm/s at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).

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 ACED100X45S Is Used
Gantry Z-axis press stations
The 3769.9 N both-ways thrust over a 45 mm stroke suits short punch or stake operations on aluminium brackets, and the compact body drops into tight gantry frames.
Pallet strapping and clamping
Equal push and pull force lets one cylinder clamp a pallet edge and retract a gate on the same stroke, with the rear rod driving a position flag for the -S magnet and CMSE switches.
Vertical lift-and-lower fixtures
Lifts about 192 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin at 0.5 MPa; the through-rod resists rotation so the tooling plate stays square over the 45 mm travel.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X45S the Right Cylinder?
At 100 mm bore this is a heavy-thrust class: 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa in both directions, with a peak of 768.8 kgf at 1.0 MPa. If your load needs less than about 2356 N at 0.5 MPa, the 80 mm bore cuts cost and air use; if you need more than 5890 N, step up to the 125 mm bore. Keep in mind that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. Mounting: FA/FB flanges, LB foot and FTC brackets bolt to the ISO 21287 face, with I and Y rod knuckles on the double rod; the female M12x1.75 rod thread takes standard rod attachments. This model already carries the optional -S magnet 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 ACED100X45S FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, both strokes use the rod-side area of the 100 mm bore: 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa, equal in push and pull. At the 1.0 MPa maximum the force peaks at 768.8 kgf. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s on air filtered to 40 um.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits shallow fixtures and guarded machines. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches mount in the body slots for position feedback. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets bolt to the standard face, I and Y knuckles fit the female M12x1.75 rod thread, and fixed TPU bumpers at both ends absorb end-of-stroke shock. For outline dimensions, confirm from datasheet.
