Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X90S
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X90S is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 90mm 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 ACED100X90S
A double acting AirTAC ACED100X90S with a 100 mm bore and 90 mm stroke, built to the short ISO 21287 compact format: a hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome-plated rod. Because a rod exits both covers, the output force is equal in both directions - 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa either way, with a peak of 768.8 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The body runs about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into presses and gantries where a full-length body will not fit.
The through-rod resists rotation and side load, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag or a second tooling plate. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount directly in the body slots. As a planning figure, treat roughly 2260 N as the practical working force at 0.5 MPa - about 230 kgf, or around 115 kg lifted vertically with a 2:1 margin.

Where the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X90S Is Used
Stamping and marking press heads
The 3769.9 N thrust in both directions suits a marking or embossing head on a fixture plate, with the 90 mm stroke covering part load, mark and retract in one compact envelope.
Balanced slide actuation
A rod on each cover lets the ACED100X90S push and pull a heavy slide with identical force, and the through-rod damps rotation on long linear guides in packaging machinery.
Position-verified clamping fixture
With the -S magnet fitted, CMSE or DMSE switches confirm clamp-open and clamp-closed positions on a CNC fixture, while the rear rod drives a status flag for the PLC.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X90S the Right Cylinder?
At 100 mm bore this is a heavy-thrust class: 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa in both directions. Step down to a 63 mm bore (1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa) for lighter clamping, or up to 125 mm (5890.5 N) if the load needs more margin. The 90 mm stroke sits well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it is a catalogue item, not a made-to-order length. 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. FA/FB flanges, LB feet, FTC brackets and I/Y rod knuckles bolt to the standard ISO 21287 face, and the fitted -S magnet accepts CMSE / DMSE switches for end-of-stroke or mid-stroke signalling.
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 ACED100X90S FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design exposes the rod-side area on both strokes, so force is equal either way: 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. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the 1/4" port matches the 100 mm bore. For sizing, plan on roughly 2260 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 115 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so the 90 mm stroke fits into tight guards and jig plates. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE reed or DMSE solid-state switches clip into the body slots for position feedback; models ordered without the S code have no magnet. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC mounting bolt straight to the standard face.
