The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE125X70 is a genuine double acting ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 70mm 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 ACE125X70 is a double acting ISO 21287 compact cylinder delivering 6135.9 N of push force and 5890.5 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 1251.4 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 125 mm bore unit uses a 25 mm hard-chrome plated S45C steel rod and a hard-anodized aluminium alloy body that is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, fitting into tight machine frames where full-length cylinders cannot go.
For a real-world application, plan for roughly 375 kg of safe vertical lifting at 0.5 MPa when you apply a 2:1 safety margin to the push force. The fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke impact, and the 1/4" port handles flow for high-force operations. Since this unit has no -S code, it has no magnet, so CMSE or DMSE sensors cannot be mounted without ordering the optional magnet version.

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.
Mount this 125 mm bore unit on a stamping press die set to clamp thick steel plates with 6135.9 N of force at 0.5 MPa, using the short body to fit between die pillars.
Use the 70 mm stroke to push 300 kg pallets off a main conveyor onto a side spur in a bottling plant, where the compact body mounts under the roller deck.
Replace a worn pneumatic cylinder on a small shop press with this ACE125X70 to deliver 8590.3 N at 0.7 MPa for bending 10 mm steel brackets, leveraging the 1/4" port for fast cycling.
When sizing this 125 mm bore cylinder, compare it against the 100 mm bore ACE100X70 which produces 3927.0 N push at 0.5 MPa, or step up to the 125 mm bore for applications needing over 6 kN of force. The 70 mm stroke suits short-travel clamping or pressing operations where the compact body saves valuable mounting space. For vertical lifting, remember this plain cylinder does not hold its position if air pressure drops, so add a pilot check valve or rod lock for load holding. Choose the -S code version if you need position sensing with CMSE or DMSE switches, and select from FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, or FTC mounting brackets to match your fixture.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, push force is 6135.9 N and pull force is 5890.5 N. At 0.7 MPa, push force is 8590.3 N and pull force 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) with proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
The ACE125X70 body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into tight guarding, jigs, and gantries. The hard-anodized aluminium body with threaded covers allows easy service, and the fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs impact. The optional -S magnet enables CMSE or DMSE sensor mounting, but this unit without -S has no magnet.
