The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE25X45SB is a genuine double acting ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 45mm 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 ACE25X45SB is a double acting ISO 21287 compact cylinder that extends and retracts its 10 mm rod with air pressure on both strokes. With a 25 mm bore it delivers 245.4 N of push force and 206.2 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, so it suits light assembly and clamping tasks where space is tight.
The hard-anodized aluminium body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, letting it fit inside machine guards and compact jigs. The optional -S magnet is fitted here, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can mount directly to sense the piston position. For real work, plan on about 15 kg of safe vertical lift at 0.5 MPa, which is roughly 60% of the rated push force, leaving a margin for friction and side loads.

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.
Clamp small parts in a CNC vise or workholding fixture where the 45 mm stroke and 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa provide firm holding without taking up much space.
Drive a label applicator head in a packaging line, using the compact body to fit between guide rails and the magnet to confirm each cycle with a CMSE switch.
Actuate a small safety guard door on a benchtop press, where the short stroke and 206.2 N pull force retract the door reliably and the TPU bumper softens the stop.
For lighter duty, the 20 mm bore ACE20X45S pushes 157.1 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to a 32 mm bore ACE32X45S gives 402.1 N push. This 25 mm version balances force and compactness, and the male rod thread (B) simplifies mounting with rod-end accessories. The fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact, but it does not hold a load if air pressure is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve for vertical holding. The M5x0.8 port suits small-bore fittings, and the magnet allows position sensing with CMSE switches.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, push force is 245.4 N and pull force is 206.2 N. At 0.7 MPa, push rises to 343.6 N and pull to 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), and proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
The ACE25X45SB body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into machine guards, gantries, and fixtures where a full-length cylinder would not. It uses a fixed TPU bumper at both ends to absorb impact, and the optional -S magnet allows CMSE or DMSE switches to detect piston position. The M5x0.8 port and male rod thread simplify integration.
