Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED125X100
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED125X100 is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 100mm 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 ACED125X100
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED125X100 pushes a 25 mm rod out of BOTH covers, so thrust is identical on every stroke: 5890.5 N at 0.5 MPa and 8246.7 N at 0.7 MPa, whichever end you feed air to. The 125 mm bore sits at the top of the ACED range, delivering up to 1201.3 kgf at 1.0 MPa from a body that saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder.
The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a roller-burnished bore, and the S45C hard-chrome-plated rod resists wear on both exposed ends. A fixed TPU bumper at each cover decelerates the piston at end of stroke, and the through-rod layout resists rotation while giving you a rear rod stub for a sensor flag or a symmetric second mount. At the 0.5 MPa rating, halving the lift equivalent leaves roughly 300 kg of vertical load you can move with a 2:1 margin, so match part weights against that figure. 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.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø125mm)
| Pressure | Force (both ways) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 5890 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 8247 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 1201 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 ACED125X100 Is Used
Heavy press die handling
The 5890.5 N both-ways thrust slides 300 kg die sets on roller rails in a stamping cell, and the short ISO 21287 body fits between the bolster and the guard where a full-length profile cylinder cannot.
Pallet pusher on a wrapper
A stretch-wrapper pallet squarer uses the 100 mm stroke to square loads at 30-500 mm/s, with the through-rod resisting the side load of off-square pallets.
Lift-and-locate fixture
The rear rod stub drives a location pin while the front rod lifts a 300 kg weldment fixture, both ends of the same piston moving in perfect sync.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED125X100 the Right Cylinder?
If 5890.5 N at 0.5 MPa is more than your job needs, the ACED80X100 delivers 2356.2 N and the ACED100X100 3769.9 N in the same compact format; if you need more, the 125 mm bore is already the largest in the series. The 100 mm stroke sits well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so no made-to-order build is required. Note that a plain double-rod cylinder will drift if air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve for held loads. This version has the female M16x2.0 rod thread and PT ports; order the -S code if you want the optional magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches, and pick FA/FB flange, LB foot or FTC brackets plus I/Y rod knuckles to bolt straight onto the ISO 21287 face.
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 ACED125X100 FAQ
Yes. Because a rod exits both covers, both strokes work on the rod-side area, so output is equal both ways: 5890.5 N at 0.5 MPa and 8246.7 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum of 1201.3 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 bore takes a 1/4" PT port with an M16x2.0 female rod thread.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a hard-anodized aluminium body, S45C hard-chrome rod and a fixed TPU bumper at each end that decelerates the piston at stroke ends. Sensing needs the optional -S magnet code; with -S ordered, CMSE / DMSE switches clip into the body slots. Without -S there is no magnet and no switch can be read. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets bolt straight to the standard face.
