About the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X50
The ACED100X50 is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to the ISO 21287 short-body format: a 100 mm bore with a 50 mm stroke and a 20 mm rod leaving both covers, so thrust is identical on the out-stroke and the return (3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa, 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa, both ways). The hard-anodized aluminium body carries M5-free 1/4" ports and runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof rating and a speed band of 30-500 mm/s.
Because a rod exits each cover, the through-rod resists rotation and modest side load and gives a symmetric mounting face; the rear rod can even carry a sensor flag on a clamping station. The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which matters in a 50 mm-stroke press fixture or gantry where every millimetre of envelope counts. At 0.5 MPa the 3769.9 N rating works out to roughly 384 kgf, so halving for a 2:1 margin lets it lift about 192 kg vertically. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock, and the optional -S magnet code enables CMSE / DMSE switches (no magnet is fitted without it).

|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 3770 N |

Where the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X50 Is Used
Short-stroke press fixture
A 50 mm stroke delivering 3769.9 N both ways at 0.5 MPa suits staking, marking or swaging heads on assembly benches where the compact body fits under a fixed gantry.
Symmetric clamping of rotating parts
The through-rod grips a bushing or shaft from both covers at once on a machining line, giving equal clamp force each way and resisting rotation without extra guides.
Heavy pallet lift-and-lower station
With about 192 kg of vertical lift capability at a 2:1 margin, the 100 mm bore raises loaded pallets on a packaging line while the rear rod drives a position flag.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X50 the Right Cylinder?
At 3769.9 N per direction at 0.5 MPa this 100 mm bore sits a clear class above the 80 mm ACED (2356.2 N) and below the 125 mm ACED (5890.5 N); pick the 100 when a heavy pallet or press head needs real force in a short envelope. The 50 mm stroke is well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore. Remember that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, so for a held vertical load add a rod lock or pilot check valve. Mount it on FA/FB flanges, LB feet or FTC brackets with I/Y rod knuckles, and order the -S code if CMSE / DMSE position sensing is required.
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 ACED100X50 FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design means both strokes use the rod-side area, so output is equal both ways: 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa. The maximum rating at 1.0 MPa is 768.8 kgf. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, and speed is 30-500 mm/s.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome-plated 20 mm rod, about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC mounts plus I/Y rod knuckles bolt to the standard face. Position sensing needs the optional -S magnet code, which allows CMSE / DMSE switches; without -S no magnet is fitted.
