Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED20X100S
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED20X100S 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 ACED20X100S
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACED20X100S delivers 117.8 N in either direction at 0.5 MPa because both strokes work on the rod-side area of the 20 mm bore. The through-rod resists rotation and light side load, and the rear rod end gives you a ready mounting point for a sensor flag or a second tool. At 0.7 MPa the same bore produces 164.9 N each way.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight fixtures and guarding. A rule of thumb: keep real work to roughly 70 N, which means this cylinder lifts about 6 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The S code means the magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE switches can be clipped onto the body slots for end-of-stroke detection.

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 ACED20X100S Is Used
Symmetric push-pull fixture
A 100 mm through-rod clamps and releases a machined aluminium bracket with 117.8 N in each direction, so one valve position does both jobs without a second cylinder.
Position-verified test station
With the fitted magnet, CMSE or DMSE switches confirm the probe has fully retracted before the leak-test cycle starts on a small electronics fixture.
Compact sliding gate
The short body slides a 5 kg plastic guard panel on a packaging machine where a full-length profile cylinder would not fit behind the frame.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED20X100S the Right Cylinder?
At 117.8 N per side, bore 20 sits between the 16 mm bore (75.4 N) and the 25 mm bore (206.2 N) at 0.5 MPa - pick the 16 for lighter clamps, the 25 when you need roughly 75% more push. The 100 mm stroke is the maximum standard stroke for this bore, so no made-to-order build is needed. Remember a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost; add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must be held. FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis and FTC brackets bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face, and the female M6x1.0 rod thread takes standard I or Y knuckles.
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 ACED20X100S FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design means both strokes use the rod-side area of the 20 mm bore. At 0.5 MPa you get 117.8 N each way, at 0.7 MPa 164.9 N each way, and the maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 24.0 kgf. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, speed 30-500 mm/s, air filtered to 40 um.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis or FTC brackets bolt directly to its face. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs the piston's arrival at the covers; it is not adjustable and it never locks or holds a load. This S-version carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches mount in the body slots for stroke-end signalling.
