Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED40X100S
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED40X100S is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 100mm stroke, 1/8" 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 ACED40X100S
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED40X100S pushes a 40 mm bore through a 100 mm stroke with a piston rod leaving both covers. Because each side of the piston sees the rod-side area, output is a matched 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 800.5 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction - no push/pull imbalance to design around. The through-rod also resists rotation and modest side load, and its rear end is a handy place to carry a sensor flag. This S-coded unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount directly in the body slots.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with a hard-chrome plated S45C rod runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speeds of 30-500 mm/s, and fixed TPU bumpers at each end. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into tight jigs and guarding. For sizing, treat roughly 343 N (0.6 of the 0.5 MPa rating) as usable work force, and expect it to lift about 29 kg vertically 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 (Ø40mm)
| Pressure | Force (both ways) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 572 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 800 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 117 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 ACED40X100S Is Used
Symmetric jig clamping
Clamp a machined aluminium bracket from both sides of a drilling fixture with equal 571.8 N force, using the twin rods to keep the clamp pads square to the part.
Gated assembly station
Drive a sliding guard on a small press cell at 30-500 mm/s; the fitted -S magnet feeds CMSE switch signals to the PLC for closed-guard interlocking at both ends of the 100 mm travel.
Bidirectional pusher on a packaging line
Push cartons off a conveyor in either stroke direction with identical 800.5 N at 0.7 MPa, mounting the body on an LB foot bracket under the line frame.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED40X100S the Right Cylinder?
Step down to an ACED32 (345.6 N at 0.5 MPa) for lighter clamping, or step up to an ACED50 (881.2 N at 0.5 MPa) if your fixture needs nearly double the thrust at the same pressure. The 100 mm stroke sits well inside the 200 mm maximum standard stroke for bore 40, so it ships as a catalogue item. Remember that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put. FA/FB flanges, LB foot and FTC brackets bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face, and the female M8x1.25 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 ACED40X100S FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design exposes the rod-side area on both strokes, so force is equal either way: 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 800.5 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum of 116.6 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder whose short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits shallow gantries and guards. Fixed TPU bumpers at each end absorb end-of-stroke shock; they do not hold or brake a load. The -S magnet on this model lets CMSE / DMSE switches sense piston position along the body slots.
