Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X5B
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X5B is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 5mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body.

About the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X5B
The ACED100X5B is a double acting, double-rod ISO 21287 compact cylinder from AirTAC: a piston rod exits both covers, so the 100 mm bore delivers an identical 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa (5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa) on every stroke, in either direction, because both sides work on the rod-side area. The 5 mm stroke suits short clamp-and-release or ejection moves at 30-500 mm/s. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, filtered to 40 um, running from -20 to +70 C.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so this heavy-thrust unit still fits tight press fixtures and guarded stations. A hard-anodized aluminium body carries the S45C hard-chrome-plated 20 mm rods, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock. The through-rod resists rotation and side load, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. In practice, plan on roughly 2262 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 192 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The B code gives a male rod thread; the magnet is the optional -S code, so this unit has none fitted.

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 ACED100X5B Is Used
Short-stroke press stamping
A 5 mm stroke and 3769.9 N both ways at 0.5 MPa let a stamping die mark or emboss aluminium brackets in one fast hit, with the through-rod keeping the tool square under side load.
Clamp block on a CNC fixture
The rear rod drives a flag past a fixture sensor while the front rod clamps a machined housing, all inside the compact body that fits where a full-length profile cylinder cannot.
Case push-off on a packing line
A 100 mm bore nudges filled cartons off a conveyor stop with equal force in either direction, and the fixed TPU bumpers quiet the 30-500 mm/s end-of-stroke contact.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X5B the Right Cylinder?
At 3769.9 N @0.5 MPa this 100 mm bore sits far above the 63 mm class (1458.1 N) and one step below the 125 mm bore (5890.5 N), so choose it when a 63 mm frame runs out of force but a 125 mm body will not fit. The 5 mm stroke is well inside the 300 mm max standard stroke for this bore. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check where a load must stay put. Mounting brackets such as FA/FB flange or LB foot bolt to the ISO 21287 face; if you need CMSE or DMSE switches, order the -S version with the optional magnet instead.
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 ACED100X5B 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 every stroke, with a peak of 768.8 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and FA/FB flange or LB foot brackets bolt straight to its face. The B code supplies a male rod thread, a fixed TPU bumper sits at each end, and the magnet is the optional -S code - this unit has none, so order -S if you want CMSE / DMSE switches.
