The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE25X50B is a genuine double acting ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 50mm 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 ACE25X50B is a double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, with a 25 mm bore and 50 mm stroke. Its hard-anodized aluminium body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits tight machine guards and indexing fixtures where space is limited. The S45C steel rod is hard-chrome plated and has a male thread (B code) for direct coupling.
At 0.5 MPa this unit pushes with 245.4 N and pulls with 206.2 N, so it can handle a real workload of roughly 147 N if you keep a 0.6 safety factor. That translates to lifting about 15 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin, which is a practical way to match it to a light pick-and-place part. The fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke impact, and the M5x0.8 port keeps installation simple on small-bore circuits.

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.

| S | Optional built-in magnet for CMSE / DMSE sensors (omit for no magnet). |
| B | Rod type: B = male thread; blank = female thread. |
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 CNC fixture to clamp small aluminium parts with 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa, holding them steady during drilling or tapping operations.
Mount on a packaging line to push finished cartons off a conveyor. The 50 mm stroke clears the product, and the compact body fits under the guide rails.
Activate a small safety guard door on a bench press. The short ISO 21287 body mounts inside the frame, and the fixed TPU bumper softens the door stop.
For a lighter duty, the ACE20X50 delivers 157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the ACE32X50 gives 402.1 N push for heavier clamping. Since this model has no -S code, it has no magnet, so CMSE or DMSE sensors cannot be mounted; order the -S variant if you need position sensing. The male rod thread (B) suits direct coupling to a clevis or rod end, and the ISO 21287 face accepts FA/FB flange, LB foot, or CA/CB clevis brackets.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, push is 245.4 N and pull is 206.2 N. At 0.7 MPa, push rises to 343.6 N and pull to 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).
No, this ACE25X50B has no magnet because the -S code was not ordered. To use CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches, you must order the -S variant, which includes the built-in magnet. The body has slots for the switches, but without the magnet they cannot detect piston position.
