About the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE50X160S
This AirTAC ACE50X160S is a double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, with a hard-anodized aluminium body and a hard-chrome plated S45C steel rod. 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 choice for automated machinery.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into tight guarding and gantries. The optional -S magnet is fitted on this model, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be mounted for position sensing. As a practical rule, plan for about 589 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which is roughly 60 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 safety margin.

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.
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.

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.
Where the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE50X160S Is Used
Fixture Clamping
Use in a CNC fixture to clamp a 50 kg workpiece with a 2:1 safety margin; the 160 mm stroke clears the part during loading and unloading.
Conveyor Stop Gate
Mount on a packaging conveyor to raise or lower a stop gate; the 981.7 N push handles boxes up to 60 kg at line speeds under 500 mm/s.
Press Ram
In a small bench press, drive a 160 mm stroke to stamp or form sheet metal parts; the fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact.
Is the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE50X160S the Right Cylinder?
For lighter duty, the ACE40X160 offers 628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the ACE63X160 steps up to 1558.6 N push. This 50 mm bore balances force and size for medium automation tasks. Since this model has the -S magnet, order CMSE or DMSE switches for position feedback; without the -S code, no magnet is present. Mounting options include FA/FB flanges, LB foot, CA/CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, and FTC brackets, all compatible with the ISO 21287 face.
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 ACE50X160S 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 range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits in tight spaces. The fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs impact, and the optional -S magnet on this model allows CMSE or DMSE switches for position sensing.
