Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X50B
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X50B is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 50mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body.

About the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X50B
A double acting ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACED100X50B delivers 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa in each direction, because both strokes work on the rod-side area. The 20 mm through-rod resists rotation and side load, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag or a second tool. At 0.7 MPa the same 100 mm bore reaches 5277.9 N either way, with a peak of 768.8 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into press fixtures and gantries where a full-length body will not fit. A hard-anodized aluminium body carries the S45C hard-chrome plated rod, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock. For planning vertical work, halve the 384 kgf lift equivalent and you can hoist roughly 192 kg with a 2:1 margin; keep real continuous duty near 2260 N. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s over 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 ACED100X50B Is Used
Press fixture clamping
The 3769.9 N symmetric thrust at 0.5 MPa clamps steel housings in a machining fixture, and the 50 mm stroke keeps the die closed in a tight frame.
Short-lift gantry lowering
With about 192 kg of vertical lift capacity at a 2:1 margin, the double rod guides a pick head down 50 mm onto a pallet without rotating.
Stamping marker on a press line
The rear rod drives a date-code stamp while the front rod carries the die, both ends hitting the fixed TPU bumper at 30-500 mm/s.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X50B the Right Cylinder?
At 50 mm stroke this bore suits short-thrust jobs like clamping or stamping a shallow part. If 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa is more than you need, the 80 mm bore gives 2356.2 N; if you need more, the 125 mm bore reaches 5890.5 N. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check for a held load. FA/FB flanges, LB feet and FTC brackets bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and I/Y rod knuckles suit the male B-thread rod end. This code has no magnet; order the -S version if you want CMSE / DMSE switch positions.
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 ACED100X50B FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, force is equal in both directions: 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa, on the rod-side area. At the full 1.0 MPa rating the bore peaks at 768.8 kgf. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and speed runs 30-500 mm/s.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder, roughly 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a hard-anodized aluminium body, S45C hard-chrome rod and a fixed TPU bumper at each end. The 1/4" PT ports serve the 100 mm bore, FA/FB flange and LB foot mounts bolt to the standard face, and the B code gives a male rod thread. Sensing needs the optional -S magnet code; without it no CMSE or DMSE switch can be fitted.
