The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE25X125S is a genuine double acting ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 125mm stroke, M5×0.8 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.
This AirTAC ACE25X125S is a double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, with a hard-anodized aluminium body and a hard-chrome plated S45C steel rod. It delivers 245.4 N of push force and 206.2 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 50.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into tight machine frames and guarding. The optional -S magnet is fitted on this model, allowing CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches to sense the piston position. For a real-world load, plan for about 15 kg of safe vertical lift at 0.5 MPa, using a 2:1 margin on the 245.4 N rating.

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.

| 0.5 MPa | 245 N | 206 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 344 N | 289 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 50 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 in a pneumatic vise or jig to clamp small aluminum parts during CNC drilling, providing 245.4 N of clamping force at 0.5 MPa.
In a packaging line, this cylinder can push filled cartons off a conveyor onto a chute, with its 125 mm stroke clearing the full width of a standard box.
Mount on a machine guard door to slide it open and closed, using the compact body to fit within the frame and the magnet to confirm the door is shut.
For a lighter duty, the ACE20X125 offers 157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the ACE32X125 gives 402.1 N push for heavier parts. This 25 mm bore with a 125 mm stroke suits medium-force applications where space is limited. Since the magnet is fitted, order CMSE or DMSE switches separately to confirm position. The M5x0.8 port is standard for this bore, and the female M6x1.0 rod thread accepts a variety of attachments.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, push force is 245.4 N and pull force is 206.2 N. At 0.7 MPa, push is 343.6 N and pull is 288.6 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 50.1 kgf.
The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, letting you install it in tight spaces. It uses a fixed TPU bumper at both ends to absorb impact, and with the fitted -S magnet, you can add CMSE or DMSE sensors for position detection.
