Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X50S
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X50S 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. 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 ACED100X50S
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED100X50S pushes a 100 mm bore through a 50 mm stroke with a rod leaving both covers. Because each side works on the rod-side area, output is identical in either direction: 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa, with a peak of 768.8 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The through-rod resists rotation and modest side load, and its rear end is a handy carrier for a sensor flag.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome-plated rod runs at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and 30-500 mm/s, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches can be clipped onto the body slots for end-of-stroke signalling. In practice, plan on roughly 2262 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, which corresponds to lifting about 192 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

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 ACED100X50S Is Used
Baler ram for scrap offcuts
Equal 3769.9 N force in both directions lets the ram compact aluminium swarf on the forward stroke and eject the block on the return without a larger bore.
Pallet-stacker load clamp
The through-rod gives a symmetric mount on both faces of the clamp arm, and the rear rod carries a flag past a DMSE switch to confirm gripping.
Die-cart lift table
With about 192 kg of vertical lift at a 2:1 margin, the cylinder raises a 90 kg die cart between conveyor levels in a stamping shop.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X50S the Right Cylinder?
At 3769.9 N per direction at 0.5 MPa, the 100 mm bore sits between the 80 mm bore (2356.2 N) and the 125 mm bore (5890.5 N), so step down if your press or clamp needs less, or up for heavier forming work. 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 - specify a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put. FA/FB flanges, LB feet and FTC brackets bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face, and the -S magnet on this model pairs with 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 ACED100X50S FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design means both strokes use the rod-side area, so output is equal either way: 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa, peaking at 768.8 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, and speed spans 30-500 mm/s.
The short hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits shallow lift frames and clamp stations. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock, and because this model carries the optional -S magnet, CMSE / DMSE switches mount directly in the body slots for position feedback.
