Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE50X160B
The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE50X160B is a genuine double acting ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 160mm 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 ACE50X160B
This AirTAC ACE50X160B is a double acting compact cylinder that extends and retracts its 16 mm rod with air pressure on both strokes. With a 50 mm bore it delivers 981.7 N of push force and 881.2 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, making it a solid mid-range actuator for assembly and packaging tasks.
Its ISO 21287 body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slips into tight guarding and tooling envelopes. The hard-anodized aluminium body and hard-chrome plated S45C steel rod resist wear, while the fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact. For a 2:1 safety margin on vertical lifts, plan for about 50 kg of real work at 0.5 MPa, not the full rated force.

Where the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE50X160B Is Used
Fixture Clamping
Use the 981.7 N push at 0.5 MPa to clamp sheet metal parts in a drilling fixture, holding them steady against vibration without deforming thin edges.
Carton Ejection
In a carton erecting line, this 160 mm stroke cylinder pushes folded boxes out of a magazine onto a conveyor, with the compact body fitting between guide rails.
Sorting Gate
Actuate a diverter gate on a parcel sorting conveyor, using the 881.2 N pull stroke to retract the gate quickly and clear the path for the next item.
Is the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE50X160B the Right Cylinder?
At 981.7 N push, this ACE50X160B suits medium-duty pushes and clamps. If you need more force, step up to the 63 mm bore which pushes 1558.6 N at 0.5 MPa; for lighter work, the 40 mm bore pushes 628.3 N. The 160 mm stroke is within the 250 mm standard maximum for this bore. Since this model has no -S magnet code, it cannot accept CMSE or DMSE sensors; order the -S version if you need position sensing. The male rod thread (B) simplifies mounting to clevises or rod ends.
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 ACE50X160B FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, push is 981.7 N and pull is 881.2 N. At 0.7 MPa, push rises to 1374.4 N and pull to 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).
No. The ACE50X160B without the -S code has no magnet, so CMSE or DMSE switches cannot be mounted. You must order the -S variant to get the optional magnet for sensor feedback. The fixed TPU bumper only absorbs end-of-stroke impact; it does not lock or hold the load.
