The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE50X125SBFTC is a genuine double acting ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 125mm 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.
This AirTAC ACE50X125SBFTC is a double acting ISO 21287 compact cylinder that extends and retracts its 16 mm rod with air pressure on both strokes. Its 50 mm bore delivers 981.7 N push and 881.2 N pull at 0.5 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 200.2 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The hard-anodized aluminium body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, saving space in tight fixtures. The optional -S magnet is fitted here, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can mount directly. For a 2:1 safety margin, plan to lift about 50 kg vertically at 0.5 MPa, not the full rated force.

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 | 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.

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 a 40 kg workpiece in a CNC milling fixture with the 981.7 N push force at 0.5 MPa, fitting the short body into a tight guard enclosure.
Eject filled cartons from a packaging line conveyor at 125 mm stroke, using the 881.2 N pull force to retract the rod reliably.
Divert parcels on a warehouse sorting conveyor with a 50 mm bore cylinder, where the compact body saves space between rollers.
For a lighter duty, the ACE40X125 delivers 628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the ACE63X125 gives 1558.6 N push. This ACE50X125SBFTC with its 125 mm stroke suits medium-force applications where a compact envelope is key. The male rod thread (B) simplifies attachment, and the FTC mounting bracket is included for direct installation. Since the magnet is fitted, you can add CMSE or DMSE switches for position sensing. Remember, this cylinder does not hold its load if air pressure is lost; use a rod lock or pilot check valve for that.
Quick checklist
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.
The magnet is an optional -S feature, and this model includes it. With the magnet fitted, you can mount CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches. Without the -S code, there is no magnet.
