The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X75 is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 75mm 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.
The ACED100X75 is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to ISO 21287: a 100 mm bore with a 20 mm rod exiting BOTH covers, so the output force is identical in each direction because both strokes work on the rod-side area. At 0.5 MPa it delivers 3769.9 N either way, rising to 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa, with a peak of 768.8 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into heavy presses, gantries and clamping fixtures where a full-length body simply will not fit.
The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a roller-burnished bore, and the S45C hard-chrome-plated rods resist wear on both ends. A fixed TPU bumper at each cover absorbs end-of-stroke energy. Because the through-rod resists rotation and side load, the back-end rod can also carry a sensor flag or a second tool. As a working rule, plan on roughly 2262 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa rating) for real work, which is equivalent to lifting about 115 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, air filtered to 40 um, -20 to +70 C.

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.
| 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).

ACE-family variants: ACE (double acting), ASE / ATE (single acting push / pull), ACED (double rod), ACEJ (adjustable stroke), TACE / TACED (non-rotating twin-guide yoke). Mounting accessories: FA / FB flange, LB foot, CA / CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, FTC; plus I and Y knuckles. Thread PT (blank) / G.
The 3769.9 N through-stroke presses bearings into housings on an automotive assembly line, and the equal return force retracts the tool with the same authority.
With about 115 kg of usable vertical lift at a 2:1 margin, the double rod guides a pallet elevator squarely without a separate guide column.
A rod at each cover lets one cylinder push a conveyor gate from the front and carry a sensor flag on the rear rod, halving the actuator count on the line.
Size between neighbours: the 63 mm bore gives 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the 125 mm bore reaches 5890.5 N - this 100 mm model at 3769.9 N sits squarely in the middle for heavy clamping and lifting. Remember it does not hold position if air is lost; add a rod lock or pilot check for a held load. Mount with FA/FB flanges, LB feet or FTC brackets plus I/Y rod knuckles on the ISO 21287 face. This code has no magnet; order the -S version if you need CMSE / DMSE switch sensing.
Quick checklist
Yes - it is a double-rod cylinder, so both strokes use the rod-side area and the force is equal either way: 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa, 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa, and up to 768.8 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and a 1/4" port on this 100 mm bore.
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, and it bolts to standard FA/FB flange, LB foot or FTC brackets with I/Y rod knuckles. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy; it does not lock the piston, so use a rod lock or pilot check where a load must be held on air loss. Sensing needs the optional -S magnet code for CMSE / DMSE switches.
