The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE50X175 is a genuine double acting ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 175mm 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 ACE50X175 is a double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, with a hard-anodized aluminium body and a hard-chrome plated S45C steel rod. At 0.5 MPa it delivers 981.7 N of push force and 881.2 N of pull, so it suits medium-duty automation tasks. The fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs impact energy, and the short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which helps when space is tight.
For real-world sizing, plan on about 60 kg of usable vertical lift at 0.5 MPa (981.7 N x 0.6 / 9.81), not the full theoretical rating. The 1/8" port is standard for this bore, and the rod end is female M10x1.5. This model has no magnet fitted, so it cannot accept CMSE or DMSE sensors unless you order the optional -S version with a built-in magnet.

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.
Use the ACE50X175 to clamp a workpiece in a CNC milling fixture. The 981.7 N push at 0.5 MPa holds parts firmly, while the compact body lets the cylinder sit close to the spindle, reducing overhang.
Mount this cylinder on a packaging conveyor to stop or divert cartons. The 175 mm stroke gives enough travel to raise a stop gate, and the 881.2 N pull retracts it quickly for smooth flow.
In a warehouse transfer station, use the ACE50X175 to lift a light pallet or platform. With about 60 kg of safe vertical lift at 0.5 MPa, it handles loads up to that weight with a 2:1 safety margin.
Compare this 50 mm bore with the 40 mm bore ACE40 which pushes 628.3 N at 0.5 MPa, or step up to the 63 mm bore ACE63 which pushes 1558.6 N. For a 175 mm stroke, the ACE50X175 fits within the 250 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it ships as a standard item. The fixed TPU bumper handles speeds from 30 to 500 mm/s, but it does not lock or hold a load; if you need position holding when air is removed, add a rod lock or pilot check valve. Choose the optional -S magnet code if you plan to use CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, push force is 981.7 N and pull force 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 range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), with proof pressure at 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
Yes, it is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a short body that saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. However, this model has no magnet, so CMSE or DMSE sensors cannot be mounted unless you order the optional -S version which includes the magnet. The fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact, but it does not provide adjustable cushioning or load holding.
