The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X80S 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.
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED100X80S pushes a 100 mm bore through an 80 mm stroke with a rod leaving BOTH covers. Because each side works on the rod-side area, output is a matched 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa in either direction - the back rod never reduces force. The -S code on this model means the magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clipped straight onto the body slots.
The hard-anodized aluminium body pairs with an S45C hard-chrome plated 20 mm rod, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock. Running on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), it cycles at 30-500 mm/s. The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into presses and gantries where a full-length body will not fit. As a working figure, keep real duty near 2262 N at 0.5 MPa - roughly a 115 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin.

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).

|---|---|
| 100 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×80 | Stroke length in mm. |
| S | Optional built-in magnet for CMSE / DMSE sensors (omit for no magnet). |
| B | Rod type: B = male thread; blank = female thread. |
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 at 0.5 MPa seats automotive bracket blanks into a stamping die, and the equal return force ejects the part without a second cylinder.
With rods out of both covers on an 80 mm stroke, one ACED100X80S drives a workpiece carrier forward and a sensor flag backward on the same axis of a pallet line.
The 100 mm bore grips palletized cartons against a stop while the wrapper spins, and the fitted magnet feeds a CMSE switch to confirm full clamp before cycle start.
At 100 mm bore this is 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 at 0.5 MPa) when a fixture needs the extra thrust. Air ports are 1/4" and the female rod thread is M12x1.75. Remember the through-rod does not lock: if the load must stay put when air is lost, add a rod lock or pilot check valve. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets plus I/Y rod knuckles bolt to the standard ISO 21287 face, and the fitted -S magnet lets you add CMSE / DMSE switches without reordering.
Quick checklist
Yes - the double-rod design puts a rod through both covers, so both strokes use the rod-side area of the 100 mm bore. Force is 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa, identical push and pull, with a peak of 768.8 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Plan real duty around 2262 N at 0.5 MPa, about a 115 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder whose short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. The -S code means the position magnet is already fitted for CMSE / DMSE switches, the 20 mm rod carries a female M12x1.75 thread, air ports are 1/4", and fixed TPU bumpers at both ends absorb end-of-stroke impact. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC mounts bolt straight on.
