Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED20X100SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED20X100SB 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.

About the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED20X100SB
A double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED20X100SB pushes a 20 mm piston through a 100 mm stroke with a rod leaving both covers. Because each side works on the rod-side area, output is identical in either direction: 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 164.9 N at 0.7 MPa, with a peak of 24.0 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The male rod thread (B code) bolts straight to your tooling, and the M5x0.8 ports sit on the 20 mm bore body.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into slim fixtures where a full-length body will not reach. The through-rod resists rotation and light side load, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clipped onto the body for end-of-stroke detection. As a working rule, plan on roughly 70 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, which is about 6 kg held vertically with a 2:1 margin. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at 30-500 mm/s, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end.

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 ACED20X100SB Is Used
Push-pull gauge checking
The equal 117.8 N force in both directions suits a go/no-go gauge slide on a CNC lathe fixture, where the male M6x1.0-class rod thread carries a dial or anvil on each end of the 100 mm stroke.
Small-part diverting on packaging lines
A rear rod acting as a guide pin lets this cylinder steer blister packs or vials at a sorter junction, with the -S magnet and a DMSE switch confirming each divert at 30-500 mm/s.
Lab sample press
About 6 kg of vertical press capacity at a 2:1 margin covers capping microtubes or seating sensors in an analytical instrument, and the compact body fits inside a benchtop enclosure.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED20X100SB the Right Cylinder?
At 117.8 N per direction, this bore sits between the 16 mm size (75.4 N at 0.5 MPa) and the 25 mm size (206.2 N at 0.5 MPa), so step up if your jig needs more grip force and down if you are only indexing light parts. The 100 mm stroke is the maximum standard stroke for bore 20, so no made-to-order surcharge applies. Remember that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. The FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets, plus I and Y rod knuckles, mount directly on 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 ACED20X100SB FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design exposes the rod-side area on both strokes, so force is equal either way: 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 164.9 N at 0.7 MPa, peaking at 24.0 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 10 mm rod exits both covers with a male thread, the port is M5x0.8, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s over 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
The ISO 21287 body is roughly 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end simply softens piston arrival - it is not adjustable and never holds a load. This unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE switches can be slid onto the body slots for position signals.
