Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED40X100SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED40X100SB 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 ACED40X100SB
A double acting, double-rod ISO 21287 compact cylinder, the ACED40X100SB pushes 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa in BOTH directions because a 12 mm rod exits each cover and both strokes work on the rod-side area. The male rod thread (B code) and the fitted -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches come ready from the factory. Running range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at 30-500 mm/s.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slides into tight machine frames and guarding. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock, and the through-rod resists rotation while the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. With 571.8 N available, plan on roughly 343 N (about 35 kg) of real working push at 0.5 MPa, or a vertical lift of around 29 kg 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 ACED40X100SB Is Used
Symmetric press fixture
The equal 571.8 N force in both directions lets one cylinder press a bushing in on the forward stroke and eject the finished part on the return, with the male thread taking a machined ram.
Bi-directional gate diverter
A packaging line pusher that swings product left or right benefits from identical force either way, and the fitted magnet plus CMSE switch confirms gate position at each end.
Counterbalanced lift slide
The rear rod can carry a counterweight or position flag on a small assembly lift, where the through-rod resists rotation and the 29 kg vertical lift rating covers the part weight.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED40X100SB the Right Cylinder?
At 40 mm bore this model sits between the 32 mm (345.6 N at 0.5 MPa) and the 50 mm (881.2 N at 0.5 MPa) double-rod versions, so step down for lighter clamping or up when the load grows. The 100 mm stroke is well inside the 200 mm standard limit for this bore. 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 feet and FTC brackets bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face, and the fitted magnet accepts CMSE / DMSE switches anywhere along the body.
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 ACED40X100SB FAQ
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, force is identical in both directions: 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 800.5 N at 0.7 MPa, both on the rod-side area. Peak force at 1.0 MPa is 116.6 kgf. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof limit.
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. The S in the model code means the optional -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clipped into the body slots; without the S code there would be no magnet.
