Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED20X100B
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED20X100B 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 ACED20X100B
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACED20X100B delivers 117.8 N in either direction at 0.5 MPa because both strokes work on the rod-side area. The 20 mm bore runs on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) air filtered to 40 um, at speeds of 30-500 mm/s, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end to soften the stops.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight pick-and-place gantries and test rigs. The through-rod resists rotation and light side load, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. At 0.5 MPa the practical working effort is roughly 70 N (about 7 kg of vertical push), so match your tooling weight to that figure. Rod ends are male thread (B code) on a 10 mm hard-chromed S45C rod; the port is M5x0.8. The magnet is optional - order the -S code if you want CMSE / DMSE switch sensing.

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 ACED20X100B Is Used
Fixture clamping in CNC cells
The equal 117.8 N force in both directions lets one ACED20X100B clamp and release a machined bracket inside a fixture whose depth cannot accept a full-length profile cylinder.
Push-pull slider transfer
A through-rod driving a small linear slider on an electronics assembly bench gets symmetric force and rotation resistance across the full 100 mm travel.
Lab press and test station
With about 7 kg of usable vertical effort at 0.5 MPa, the cylinder suits light sample pressing and go/no-go gauging where the rear rod carries a position flag.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED20X100B the Right Cylinder?
Sizing both ways: the 16 mm bore gives 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa if your load is lighter, while the 25 mm bore reaches 206.2 N if 117.8 N is marginal. The 100 mm stroke is the maximum standard stroke for bore 20, so no made-to-order build is needed. Choose FA/FB flange, LB foot or FTC brackets plus I/Y rod knuckles to bolt onto the ISO 21287 face. Remember this cylinder will not hold position if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check for a suspended load.
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 ACED20X100B FAQ
Output is equal in both directions because a rod exits both covers and both strokes use the rod-side area: 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 range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C, fluid air filtered to 40 um.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets plus I/Y knuckles fitting the standard face. Sensing needs the optional -S magnet code: without it there is no magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches cannot be detected. The fixed TPU bumpers at both ends only soften the end stops.
