Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE50X120
The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE50X120 is a genuine double acting ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 120mm stroke, 1/8" 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 ACE50X120
This AirTAC ACE50X120 is a double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, with a 50 mm bore and a 120 mm stroke. Its hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome plated rod deliver a theoretical push force of 981.7 N at 0.5 MPa, enough for moderate automation tasks. The fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs impact, and the short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into tight machine frames.
At 0.5 MPa, the pull force is 881.2 N, and at 0.7 MPa push rises to 1374.4 N. For a safe working load, plan on about 60 kg of real work, which is roughly 0.6 times the push force divided by gravity. The 1/8" port suits standard fittings, and the optional -S magnet is not fitted here, so CMSE or DMSE sensors cannot be mounted without ordering that code.

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.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø50mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 982 N | 881 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 1374 N | 1234 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 200 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 ACE50X120 Is Used
Fixture Clamping
Use the ACE50X120 to clamp sheet metal parts in a CNC milling fixture. The 981.7 N push force secures the workpiece, and the compact body fits under the spindle guard.
Product Stoppers
Mount this cylinder on a packaging conveyor to stop cartons at a labeling station. The 120 mm stroke retracts quickly, and the TPU bumper prevents shock to the product.
Press Ram
Drive a small arbor press for inserting bushings into aluminum housings. The 1374.4 N push at 0.7 MPa provides enough force for light interference fits, and the short body simplifies machine design.
Is the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE50X120 the Right Cylinder?
For a lighter load, consider the ACE40X120 with 628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa, or step up to the ACE63X120 for 1558.6 N push. This 50 mm bore model handles medium-duty clamping or pressing with a 120 mm stroke, but remember it does not hold position when air pressure is lost; use a rod lock or pilot check valve for safety. Mounting options like FA/FB flanges or LB foot brackets bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the optional -S magnet is needed for sensor feedback.
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 ACE50X120 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, push is 981.7 N and pull is 881.2 N. At 0.7 MPa, push is 1374.4 N and pull is 1233.7 N. The theoretical maximum force is 200.2 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), with proof pressure at 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
Yes. The ISO 21287 design saves about 50% of the mounting length compared to an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits in tight jigs and guards. It has a fixed TPU bumper at both ends, not an adjustable cushion, and operates at speeds from 30 to 500 mm/s.
