The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE25X20S is a genuine double acting ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 20mm 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 ACE25X20S is a double acting ISO 21287 compact cylinder that uses air to both extend and retract its 10 mm rod. The 25 mm bore delivers 245.4 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, with a pull force of 206.2 N, making it a solid choice for light assembly tasks. Its short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into tight jigs and guards where a full-length cylinder will not.
Because this model carries the optional -S magnet, you can mount CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches directly on the body for reliable position sensing. The hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome plated rod resist wear in continuous cycling. As a practical rule, plan for about 148 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which translates to lifting roughly 15 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety 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.

| 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 jig to clamp small plastic housings during drilling or gluing; the 20 mm stroke and 245.4 N push hold parts firmly without taking up much space in the fixture.
Mount on a conveyor line to divert lightweight packages or components; the short stroke and fast 30-500 mm/s speed allow quick indexing, while the magnet feeds position signals to a PLC.
Actuate a small safety guard or access door on a packaging machine; the compact body fits within the machine frame, and the 206.2 N pull retracts the latch reliably.
When sizing, compare this 25 mm bore with the smaller 20 mm bore that pushes 157.1 N at 0.5 MPa, or step up to the 32 mm bore that pushes 402.1 N at the same pressure. For a 20 mm stroke, this cylinder suits short, precise movements in compact fixtures. The fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke energy, but it does not hold a load if air pressure is lost; use a rod lock or pilot check valve for position holding. The M5x0.8 port and female M6x1.0 rod thread match standard fittings, and the optional -S magnet enables sensor feedback for automation control.
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 is 343.6 N and pull is 288.6 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 50.1 kgf. Operating pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), with a speed range of 30-500 mm/s.
The ACE25X20S has a short body that is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into tight spaces like machine guards or small jigs. It features a fixed TPU bumper at both ends to absorb impact, and the optional -S magnet allows you to add CMSE or DMSE switches for position sensing. The body is hard-anodized aluminium, and the rod is S45C steel with hard-chrome plating for durability.
