Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X80
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X80 is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 80mm 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 ACED100X80
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED100X80 pushes a 100 mm bore through an 80 mm stroke with a piston rod leaving BOTH covers. Because each side of the piston sees the rod-side area, output force is equal in both directions: 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa, whichever way the piston travels. The through-rod resists rotation and side load, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag or a second tool.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into heavy press fixtures and gantries where a full-length body will not fit. The hard-anodized aluminium body pairs with an S45C hard-chrome rod, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. Plan on roughly 2262 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa (about 60% of the rating), which lifts around 115 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The magnet is an option: order the -S code to enable CMSE / DMSE switches; without -S there is no magnet.

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 ACED100X80 Is Used
Pneumatic press fixture
The symmetric 3769.9 N output in both directions suits a stamping or riveting press where the return stroke must push a part out with the same force it pressed in.
Pallet lift-and-lower station
With about 115 kg of vertical lift capacity at a 2:1 margin, the through-rod keeps a lift plate stable against rotation while raising cartons on a packaging line.
Reciprocating transfer arm
The rear rod doubles as a sensor flag mount, so a pick-and-place arm can shuttle 80 mm between two CMSE switch positions when the -S magnet is ordered.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X80 the Right Cylinder?
Step down to the ACED80 (2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa) for lighter clamping, or step up to the ACED125 (5890.5 N) when the load demands more. At 80 mm stroke this model sits well inside the 300 mm max standard stroke for bore 100, so it is a catalogue item, not a made-to-order build. Remember that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put. Match FA/FB flange, LB foot or FTC brackets to the ISO 21287 face, and specify the -S magnet only if CMSE / DMSE position sensing is needed.
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 ACED100X80 FAQ
Yes - this is a double-rod cylinder, so a rod exits both covers and both strokes use the rod-side area. Output is 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction, with a maximum of 768.8 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a hard-anodized aluminium body and threaded aluminium covers, roughly 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. Position sensing requires the optional -S magnet code; with it, CMSE / DMSE switches read along the body slots. Without -S there is no magnet fitted.
