The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE125X15B is a genuine double acting ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 15mm stroke, 1/4" 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.
This AirTAC ACE125X15B is a double acting compact cylinder that extends and retracts its 25 mm rod with air pressure on both strokes. It delivers 6135.9 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, so it suits heavy clamping and pressing work in large-scale automation.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which lets it fit into tight machine frames where a full-length cylinder will not. The male rod thread (B code) allows direct coupling to linkages without an adapter. For a real part weight, plan for about 375 kg of safe vertical lift at 0.5 MPa, using a 2:1 margin on the theoretical 6135.9 N push.

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.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 6136 N | 5890 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 8590 N | 8247 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 1251 kgf | |
Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.

ACE-family variants: ACE (double acting), ASE / ATE (single acting push / pull), ACED (double rod), ACEJ (adjustable stroke), TACE / TACED (non-rotating twin-guide yoke). Mounting accessories: FA / FB flange, LB foot, CA / CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, FTC; plus I and Y knuckles. Thread PT (blank) / G.
Use the 6135.9 N push force to clamp large metal workpieces securely during CNC milling or drilling operations, holding them rigid against vibration.
In a stamping or forming press, this cylinder can drive a die or punch with enough force to shape sheet metal parts up to 15 mm stroke, ideal for short-stroke embossing.
Mount it as a positive stop on a heavy-duty conveyor line to halt pallets or crates weighing up to 375 kg, using the short stroke to engage and disengage quickly.
For a lighter duty, the ACE100X15B offers 3927.0 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the ACE125X15B gives you 6135.9 N for heavier loads. This model has no magnet fitted, so it cannot work with CMSE or DMSE sensors; order the -S code if you need position sensing. The 1/4" port and PT thread are standard for this 125 mm bore size.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, push force is 6135.9 N and pull force is 5890.5 N. At 0.7 MPa, push is 8590.3 N and pull is 8246.7 N. The theoretical maximum force is 1251.4 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
It follows ISO 21287, so its body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder of the same bore. This makes it easier to fit into tight spaces. It has a fixed TPU bumper at both ends to absorb impact, and the hard-anodized aluminium body resists wear. The optional -S magnet is needed for CMSE or DMSE sensors.
