Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X55S
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X55S is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 55mm 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 ACED100X55S
A double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED100X55S pushes a 100 mm bore through a 55 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 hard-anodized aluminium body carries a fixed TPU bumper at each end, and the S code means the magnet is already fitted, so CMSE or DMSE switches can be clipped on for end-of-stroke sensing.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which matters when a 55 mm stroke must fit inside a press fixture or a guarded gantry. The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. Running at 30-500 mm/s on air filtered to 40 um, it accepts 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof rating. As a rule of thumb, plan on roughly 2262 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa, and count on 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 ACED100X55S Is Used
Press fixture clamping
The symmetric 3769.9 N output clamps a stamped bracket from either side in a welding fixture, and the 55 mm stroke fits the tight envelope between clamp arms.
Lift-and-present table
With about 192 kg of vertical lift capacity at a 2:1 margin, the double rod raises a palletized electronics tray on an assembly line without rod rotation tipping the load.
Indexed conveyor stopper
The fitted magnet and CMSE switches confirm extend and retract on a packaging line stopper, where the short body slots under a low guard rail.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X55S the Right Cylinder?
At 3769.9 N per direction, this 100 mm bore sits between the 80 mm size (2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa) and the 125 mm size (5890.5 N at 0.5 MPa), so choose it when an 80 mm cylinder is marginal but 125 mm is oversized. The 55 mm stroke is well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it ships as a standard build. Note that it does not hold position if air is lost; for a suspended load, add a rod lock or pilot check valve. Mounting brackets from the FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC family bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face, and I or Y rod knuckles suit the 20 mm rod. The fitted magnet makes CMSE / DMSE switch mounting plug-and-play.
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 ACED100X55S FAQ
Yes. Because a rod exits both covers, both strokes use the rod-side area, so force 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, speed 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 suits tight jigs and guards. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount directly in the body slots. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, and FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets bolt to the standard face.
