The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X80SB 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 ACED100X80SB pushes a 100 mm bore through an 80 mm stroke with a rod leaving BOTH covers, so thrust is identical on each stroke: 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa. The S in the code means the optional -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clipped onto the body for end-of-stroke signalling, and the B gives a male thread on each 20 mm rod end.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome plated rod runs at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-500 mm/s and -20 to +70 C, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end. Because the short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, this 100 mm bore fits gantries and press fixtures that cannot swallow a full-length body. As a planning figure, treat roughly 2260 N (about 230 kg of push) as the usable working output at 0.5 MPa rather than the full rating.

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).
| ACED | ISO 21287 compact cylinder (double-rod). |
|---|---|
| 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 symmetric thrust at 0.5 MPa swages or stakes aluminium brackets on a machining line, with the 80 mm stroke sized for quick in-and-out tooling moves.
A rod on each cover lets the rear rod drive a flag past a DMSE switch while the front rod pushes pallets, giving equal 5277.9 N force at 0.7 MPa in both travel directions.
The through-rod resists rotation when pressing steel door panels down, and the compact body drops into a tight weld gantry where an ISO 15552 profile cylinder would be twice as long.
At this force class the nearest smaller step is the 80 mm bore at 2356.2 N per direction at 0.5 MPa, while the next size up is the 125 mm bore at 5890.5 N - pick 100 mm when your fixture needs roughly 3.7 kN without the bulk. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve for a held load. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets plus I and Y rod knuckles bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the through-rod resists rotation while the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. This unit already carries the -S magnet; order plain ACED codes without S when no switching is needed.
Quick checklist
Both directions are identical because a rod exits each cover and both strokes use the rod-side area: 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum of 768.8 kgf at 1.0 MPa. For sizing, keep real work near 2260 N (about 230 kg equivalent) at 0.5 MPa, and note the piston will drift if air pressure is lost - use a rod lock or pilot check where a load must stay put.
S means the optional -S magnet is fitted on this unit, so CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount directly on the body slots (plain ACED codes ship without a magnet). B means a male thread on each 20 mm rod end, with a 1/4" PT port on the 100 mm bore. The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy.
