Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X60
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X60 is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 60mm 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 ACED100X60
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED100X60 pushes a 100 mm bore through a 60 mm stroke with a rod leaving both covers. Because each side sees 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, lifters and fixtures where a full-length body will not fit.
The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag on automation lines. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. Practical sizing: the rod-side force at 0.5 MPa equals roughly 384 kgf, so with a 2:1 margin this cylinder lifts about 192 kg vertically. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, ports are 1/4" PT, and the rod end carries a female M12x1.75 thread.

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 ACED100X60 Is Used
Vertical lift-and-lower gantry
A pick station raising 150 kg pallet trays between two conveyor levels: the symmetric through-rod keeps the platform level, and the 2:1 margin on the 384 kgf rod-side force leaves room for fixture weight.
Double-sided stamping press head
A small forming press that needs identical force on the approach and return strokes: equal rod-side output of 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa both ways means the die retracts with the same energy it entered.
Pusher on a bottling line
A lane diverter pushing crates sideways at 60 mm travel: the rear rod carries a flag for a DMSE position switch (requires the -S magnet option), and the short body fits inside the line guarding.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X60 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) in the ACED range. Choose the 80 mm if your load is under about 1400 N of real work; step up to 125 mm when the 2:1 margin on 100 mm is not enough. Note that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must be held. Mount with FA/FB flange, LB foot or FTC brackets plus I/Y rod knuckles, and order the -S code if you want the optional magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches; without -S no magnet is fitted.
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 ACED100X60 FAQ
Output is equal in both directions because a rod exits each cover and both strokes use the rod-side area: 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa, 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum of 768.8 kgf at 1.0 MPa. At 0.5 MPa the rod-side force equals about 384 kgf, so with a 2:1 margin plan on lifting roughly 192 kg vertically. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, ports 1/4" PT, female M12x1.75 rod thread.
The ISO 21287 short body cuts about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it fits tight guards and fixtures. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a fixed TPU bumper at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration. Switches are not included by default: the magnet is the optional -S ordering code, and only with -S can CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches be clipped to the body.
