The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE25X20SB 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 ACE25X20SB is a double acting ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a 25 mm bore and a 20 mm stroke. 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 unit will not. The hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome plated rod resist wear in continuous cycling.
At 0.5 MPa it pushes with 245.4 N and pulls with 206.2 N, rising to 343.6 N push at 0.7 MPa. For a real application, plan for about 15 kg of safe vertical lift at 0.5 MPa, keeping a 2:1 margin over the theoretical 25 kg. The fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke energy, and the optional -S magnet is fitted here so CMSE or DMSE switches can be mounted for position sensing.

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 in a small pneumatic jig to clamp a 2 kg workpiece during a drilling operation. The 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa holds parts firmly, and the compact body fits under a machine guard.
Actuate a diverter gate on a light conveyor line to route packages. The 20 mm stroke moves a small flap quickly, and the M5x0.8 port connects easily to existing 6 mm tubing.
Deploy a retractable stop on a gravity roller conveyor to hold a lightweight tote. The 206.2 N pull at 0.5 MPa retracts the stop reliably, and the optional -S magnet lets a sensor confirm the position.
For a lighter force class, the ACE20X20SB pushes 157.1 N at 0.5 MPa, while moving up to the ACE32X20SB gives 402.1 N push. This 25 mm bore with a 20 mm stroke suits short, frequent moves in compact assemblies. The male rod thread (B code) simplifies direct coupling to a load, and the M5x0.8 port is standard for this bore size. Order with the -S magnet code to enable CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches, as this model includes it. Remember, this cylinder does not hold position when air is lost; use a rod lock or pilot check valve for load holding.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, push is 245.4 N and pull is 206.2 N. At 0.7 MPa, push is 343.6 N and pull is 288.6 N. The theoretical maximum force is 50.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), and speed is 30-500 mm/s.
The ACE25X20SB body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into confined areas like machine guards or gantries. It has a fixed TPU bumper at both ends to absorb impact, and the optional -S magnet allows mounting CMSE or DMSE switches for position feedback.
