Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE25X5SCA
The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE25X5SCA is a genuine double acting ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 5mm 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.

About the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE25X5SCA
This AirTAC ACE25X5SCA is a double acting compact cylinder that extends and retracts its rod with air pressure, delivering a 245.4 N push force at 0.5 MPa. Its 5 mm stroke suits short, precise movements in tight automation cells, and the fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs impact for quiet cycling.
The ISO 21287 body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits inside guarding and compact jigs where a full-length unit will not. With the optional -S magnet fitted, this model works with CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches for reliable position sensing, and the hard-anodized aluminium body resists wear in continuous service.

Theoretical Output Force (Ø25mm)
| 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.

Where the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE25X5SCA Is Used
Compact Jig Clamping
Use the 5 mm stroke to clamp small parts in a CNC fixture, with the short body fitting under a workholding plate where a longer cylinder would interfere.
Label Applicator Press
Drive a label applicator head for a 5 mm press action on a packaging line, relying on the 245.4 N push to seat labels firmly on cartons.
Sorting Gate Actuator
Actuate a small diverter gate in a parts sorting conveyor, using the CA clevis to pivot the gate and the magnet to confirm the open or closed position.
Is the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE25X5SCA the Right Cylinder?
For a lighter duty application, the ACE20X5 offers a 157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the ACE32X5 provides 402.1 N push for heavier loads. This 25 mm bore with a 5 mm stroke is ideal for short indexing or clamping tasks where space is limited and speed is moderate.
The CA clevis mounting accessory lets you pivot the cylinder in a fixture, and the M5x0.8 port is easy to plumb with small fittings. Since this unit has the -S magnet, you can add CMSE or DMSE sensors to confirm rod position, but remember the cylinder does not hold its position if air pressure is lost - use a rod lock or pilot check valve for load holding.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Short stroke fits the compact body
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G)
- ✓ Add -S if you need the magnet for sensors
- ✓ Rod type (female / male B) & mount (FA/LB/CA)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Compact body: keep the stroke short and avoid side load on the rod.
- check Do not dismantle the threaded front/back covers.
- check Keep speed within the rated range; the TPU bumper absorbs stroke-end energy.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE25X5SCA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this cylinder provides 245.4 N push and 206.2 N pull. At 0.7 MPa, it delivers 343.6 N push and 288.6 N pull. The theoretical maximum force is 50.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. These figures are based on the 25 mm bore and 10 mm rod.
The ACE25X5SCA has a hard-anodized aluminium body that is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, saving valuable mounting space. It uses a fixed TPU bumper at both ends to absorb impact, and the optional -S magnet allows CMSE or DMSE sensors to detect rod position. The M5x0.8 port simplifies connection in tight spaces.
