The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE25X40 is a genuine double acting ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 40mm 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 ACE25X40 is a double acting ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a 25 mm bore and 40 mm stroke. It delivers 245.4 N push and 206.2 N pull at 0.5 MPa, with a theoretical maximum force of 50.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The hard-anodized aluminium body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into tight automation frames and guarding where a full-length cylinder will not.
A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs impact, and the S45C hard-chrome rod resists wear in continuous cycling. For a real application, plan on about 15 kg of safe vertical lift at 0.5 MPa (245.4 N divided by 9.81, then halved for a 2:1 margin). This model has a female M6x1.0 rod thread and an M5x0.8 port; the optional -S magnet is not fitted, so CMSE or DMSE sensors cannot be mounted without ordering that code.

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 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa to press small connectors into printed circuit boards on a benchtop fixture, where the short body fits under a guard.
Mount with an LB foot bracket to stop lightweight cartons on a conveyor. The 40 mm stroke retracts quickly to let parts pass, and the TPU bumper handles frequent cycling.
Drive a 10 mL syringe in a fluid-dispensing rig. The 206.2 N pull at 0.5 MPa retracts the plunger reliably, and the M5x0.8 port connects to standard lab air lines.
For lighter loads, the ACE20X40 offers 157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the ACE32X40 steps up to 402.1 N push. This 25 mm bore suits medium-duty pick-and-place and clamping tasks. Since the stroke is 40 mm, well under the 150 mm maximum standard stroke, it is a standard item. Remember that without the -S magnet, no sensor feedback is possible; order ACE25X40S if you need position sensing. Mounting options like FA/FB flanges or LB foot brackets bolt directly to the ISO 21287 face, simplifying integration into existing fixtures.
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 proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
Only if you order the -S option, which adds a magnet for CMSE or DMSE switches. This ACE25X40 has no magnet, so no sensor can detect the piston position. The body has magnet slots, but the magnet itself is optional. The fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact but does not lock the rod in place.
