Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X5S
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X5S 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. 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 ACED100X5S
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED100X5S pushes a 100 mm bore through a 5 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. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into presses, clamping bridges and gantry stations where a full-length body simply will not fit.
The through-rod resists rotation and side load, and the rear rod end gives you a free mounting point for a sensor flag or a symmetric fixture. This -S version carries the optional magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clipped onto the body slots for end-of-stroke signalling. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs stroke-end shock, and the hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome plated rod stands up to continuous cycling at 30-500 mm/s. As a planning figure, the 0.5 MPa output supports roughly 230 kg of vertical work once you keep a 40% reserve, so treat it as a 230 kg-class lifter rather than a 384 kg one.

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 ACED100X5S Is Used
Short-throw press stamping
A 5 mm stroke is ideal for a witness-mark or date-code stamp on aluminium housings; the 3769.9 N force at 0.5 MPa gives a crisp, repeatable impression at 30-500 mm/s.
Clamp-and-release fixtures
Equal force in both directions lets the same cylinder clamp a machined gear blank and retract it with identical grip, simplifying fixture tuning on a CNC pallet changer.
Position confirmation stations
With the fitted magnet, CMSE or DMSE switches on the body slots confirm the 5 mm seat of a lid or connector in an electronics assembly cell, wired to the PLC through the rear rod mount.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X5S the Right Cylinder?
At 3769.9 N per direction, the 100 mm bore sits near the top of the ACED range: step down to the 80 mm bore (2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa) for lighter clamping, or up to the 125 mm bore (5890.5 N) when the tooling needs the extra margin. The 5 mm stroke is well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it ships as a standard build. Remember that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. FA/FB flanges, LB foot mounts and FTC brackets bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face, and I or Y rod knuckles suit the 20 mm rod.
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 ACED100X5S FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, both strokes work on the rod-side area, so the force is equal either way: 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa. At the full 1.0 MPa rating the peak is 768.8 kgf. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, on air filtered to 40 um.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, freeing space in tight guards and fixtures. The S in ACED100X5S means the optional magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE switches mount directly in the body slots for stroke-end detection. The fixed TPU bumpers at both ends absorb end-of-stroke energy, and FA/FB flange or LB foot mounts bolt to the standard ISO 21287 face.
