The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED100X90SB 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.
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED100X90SB pushes a 100 mm bore through a 90 mm stroke with a rod leaving BOTH covers, so thrust is identical on the extend and retract stroke: 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction. The male rod thread (B code) bolts straight into your tooling, and the 20 mm hard-chrome plated S45C rod on each end resists rotation and side load while giving you a symmetric mounting face.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why this bore class fits clamp stations and press fixtures that a full-length cylinder cannot. Because the through-rod is symmetric, the rear rod can carry a sensor flag or a second tool. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE switches read position along the body slots. Practical sizing: at 0.5 MPa the usable working effort is roughly 2260 N, which lifts about 192 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s over 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).

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 bidirectional force at 0.5 MPa presses bushings into aluminium brackets, and the 90 mm stroke clears part loading by hand while the short body fits inside the guarding.
With about 192 kg of vertical capacity at a 2:1 margin, the through-rod lifts a 90 kg sealing head; the rear rod carries the position flag for CMSE switches on this -S model.
Equal force in both directions lets one cylinder push a bar forward and retract the gripper with the same 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa, and the male rod thread suits a custom knuckle.
For heavy clamping or lifting at 90 mm travel, this 100 mm bore delivers 3769.9 N both ways at 0.5 MPa; step down to the 80 mm bore (2356.2 N) if the load is lighter, or up to the 125 mm bore (5890.5 N) for higher thrust. 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 build. Remember that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - specify a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put. FA/FB flanges, LB feet and FTC brackets bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and I/Y rod knuckles suit the male thread.
Quick checklist
Yes - the double-rod design means both strokes use the rod-side area, so output is equal in extend and retract: 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 5277.9 N at 0.7 MPa. At full 1.0 MPa the rating reaches about 768.8 kgf. 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 90 mm stroke is standard for this bore (max standard 300 mm).
This version carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE reed or DMSE solid-state switches mount in the body slots for end-of-stroke or mid-position signals. The ISO 21287 compact body with hard-anodized aluminium barrel and fixed TPU bumpers at both ends saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and FA/FB flanges, LB feet and FTC brackets bolt directly to its face.
