Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X5
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X5 is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 5mm 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 ACED100X5
A double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED100X5 pushes a 100 mm piston through a 5 mm stroke with a rod leaving both covers, so thrust is identical on each side: 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a 20 mm S45C hard-chrome plated rod, and the short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which matters in wide presses and gantries where depth is limited.
For sizing intuition, treat roughly 2260 N (about 0.6 of the 0.5 MPa rating) as the practical working force, and note the rod-side area lifts about 384 kg at 0.5 MPa, or roughly 192 kg with a 2:1 vertical margin. The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and a fixed TPU bumper sits at both ends.

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 ACED100X5 Is Used
Short-stamp marking press
The 5 mm stroke suits a stamping or embossing head on sheet-metal parts, where 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa leaves a clean die mark without a full-length cylinder behind the tool.
Machining centre clamp riser
A 100 mm bore through-rod lifts a fixture riser about 192 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin, and the rear rod carries a flag so the control sees both end positions via switches when the -S magnet is ordered.
Bottle-filling gate driver
Equal force both directions makes the rod ideal for a fill-line gate that must push and retract with identical 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa, sliding in the space saved by the compact body.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X5 the Right Cylinder?
At 100 mm bore this is a top-of-range choice: the bore below, ACED80X5, delivers 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa, so step down if your clamp or press needs less than half this force. There is no larger bore in the family, so if 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa is marginal, add a second cylinder or a lever. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check for a held load. Mounting brackets (FA/FB flange, LB foot, FTC) plus I/Y rod knuckles bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches; this code has no magnet fitted.
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 ACED100X5 FAQ
Output is equal in both directions because a rod exits each cover and both strokes use the rod-side area: 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa, 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa, and up to 768.8 kgf at the 1.0 MPa maximum. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C, on air filtered to 40 um. Port size is 1/4" (PT) and the rod thread is female M12x1.75.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits shallow machine frames. Position sensing requires the optional -S magnet version with CMSE or DMSE switches; this ACED100X5 code has no magnet, so no sensor can be mounted. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, and FA/FB flange, LB foot or FTC brackets bolt straight to the standard face.
