Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED20X100
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED20X100 is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 100mm stroke, M5×0.8 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 ACED20X100
Double acting with a piston rod leaving both covers, the ACED20X100 pushes and pulls with identical force because each stroke works on the rod-side area: 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 164.9 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction. The through-rod resists rotation and light side load, and the rear rod stub can carry a sensor flag or a second tooling plate. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so this 100 mm stroke unit fits shallow slides and guarding where a full-length body cannot. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock. As a working figure, plan on roughly 70 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which is about 7 kg of 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.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø20mm)
| Pressure | Force (both ways) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 118 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 165 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 24 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 ACED20X100 Is Used
Compact fixture clamping
The 117.8 N through-rod clamps small aluminium brackets in a machining jig, with the short ISO 21287 body fitting inside the fixture plate.
Bidirectional slide drive
Equal force both ways drives a light transfer slide on a packaging line, the rear rod stub returning a flag past a position sensor.
Lab gate actuation
Opens and closes a sampling gate in a test rig, the 100 mm stroke clearing the aperture while the M5x0.8 ports keep tubing runs tidy.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED20X100 the Right Cylinder?
At 117.8 N per direction, this bore suits light pick-and-place and clamping; step down to the 16 mm bore (75.4 N) for smaller loads or up to the 25 mm bore (206.2 N) when more thrust is needed. The through-rod gives a symmetric mount, but the piston will drift if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check for held loads. Order the -S code if you want the optional magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches; without it no sensor can be fitted. FA/FB flanges, LB feet and FTC brackets bolt straight to 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 ACED20X100 FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, force is equal in both directions: 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 164.9 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum of 24.0 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 an M5x0.8 port with an M6x1.0 female rod thread.
The hard-anodized aluminium ISO 21287 body is about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets mount directly. Position switches (CMSE / DMSE) work only when the optional -S magnet is ordered; the base model has no magnet.
