The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE25X150S is a genuine double acting ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 150mm 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 ACE25X150S is a double acting compact cylinder that extends and retracts its rod with air pressure. Its 25 mm bore delivers 245.4 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, making it a solid choice for light assembly tasks. The short ISO 21287 body takes up about 50% less mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits neatly inside tight machine guards and compact jigs.
With the optional -S magnet fitted, this unit works with CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches for reliable end-of-stroke sensing. As a practical guide, plan for a usable load of about 147 N at 0.5 MPa, which means it can lift roughly 15 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome plated rod resist wear in high-cycle applications.

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 | 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 the 150 mm stroke to push a locating pin into a PCB drilling fixture, with the 245.4 N force holding thin boards flat during the operation.
Mount this cylinder on a carton former to tuck side flaps before sealing. The 206.2 N retract force pulls the tucker arm back quickly for the next cycle.
Actuate a diverter gate on a small parts conveyor. The 150 mm stroke moves the gate fully across a 100 mm chute, and the compact body fits under the belt frame.
When sizing, compare this 25 mm bore unit to a smaller 20 mm bore ACE that pushes 157.1 N, or step up to a 32 mm bore ACE that pushes 402.1 N at the same 0.5 MPa pressure. The 150 mm stroke matches the maximum standard stroke for this bore, so you get full travel without a custom order. Since this model carries the -S magnet, pair it with a CMSE or DMSE sensor for position feedback; without the -S code, no magnet is present. For mounting, choose from FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, or FTC brackets that bolt directly to the ISO 21287 face.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 245.4 N and the pull force is 206.2 N. At 0.7 MPa, push increases to 343.6 N and pull to 288.6 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 50.1 kgf. These figures apply to the 25 mm bore with a 10 mm rod.
The ACE25X150S uses a hard-anodized aluminium body that is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it saves valuable space in tight enclosures. It has a fixed TPU bumper at both ends to absorb end-of-stroke impact, and the optional -S magnet allows CMSE or DMSE sensors to detect the piston position. The M5x0.8 port accepts standard fittings for quick installation.
