Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X55SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X55SB 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 ACED100X55SB
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED100X55SB pushes a 100 mm bore through a 55 mm stroke with a rod leaving BOTH covers, so thrust is identical on each stroke: 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa. The 20 mm hard-chrome-plated S45C rod resists rotation and side load, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag or a second tool. With the -S magnet fitted, CMSE / DMSE switches read position along the body slots.
The hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so this 100 mm bore fits presses and gantries where a full-length body will not. Plan on roughly 2260 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 115 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock, and the male rod thread (B code) bolts straight into standard tooling.

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 ACED100X55SB Is Used
Pneumatic press head
The 3769.9 N rod-side force both ways drives a small forming or marking press, with the 55 mm stroke cycling at up to 500 mm/s.
Pallet clamp fixture
Equal push and pull lets one valve circuit both clamp and release pallets on a machining line, and the rear rod carries a position flag.
Lift-and-lower gantry
About 115 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin raises and lowers fixture plates inside a guard where a full-length body will not fit.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X55SB the Right Cylinder?
At 3769.9 N per side at 0.5 MPa, this bore sits between the 80 mm (2356.2 N) and 125 mm (5890.5 N) choices - pick the 80 for lighter clamps, the 125 for heavy stamping. The 55 mm stroke is well inside the 300 mm standard range for bore 100. FA/FB flanges, LB feet and FTC brackets mount on the ISO 21287 face; I and Y rod knuckles suit the male-threaded rod. Note that with air lost the piston drifts - add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put.
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 ACED100X55SB 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, with a peak of 768.8 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the 1/4" port depends only on the 100 mm bore.
This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount in the body slots. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy; it does not hold or brake a load, so use a rod lock or pilot check where the load must stay in place. The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder.
