The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE50X175B 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 ACE50X175B is a double acting compact cylinder, pushing with 981.7 N and pulling with 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa. Its hard-anodized aluminium body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, fitting into tight machine guarding and gantries where a full-length cylinder will not. The fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs energy, and the S45C hard-chrome rod resists wear in dirty shop air.
For a safe working load, plan for about 589 N (60 kg) of real work at 0.5 MPa, not the full rating, to account for friction and acceleration. This bore also delivers 1374.4 N push at 0.7 MPa and a theoretical maximum of 200.2 kgf at 1.0 MPa, so it suits medium-force clamping and pressing tasks. The male rod thread (B code) simplifies mounting with rod-end accessories, and the 1/8" port matches common air prep units.

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.

| 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 981.7 N push at 0.5 MPa to clamp sheet metal parts in a welding jig, holding them firmly during spot welding without distorting thin edges.
Mount this cylinder on a packaging line to push finished cartons off a conveyor onto a chute, using the 175 mm stroke to clear the belt width reliably.
In a small bench press, this cylinder provides 1374.4 N at 0.7 MPa to stamp or emboss metal tags, with the fixed TPU bumper preventing end-of-stroke shock.
With a 50 mm bore, this cylinder delivers 981.7 N push at 0.5 MPa, stepping up from the 40 mm bore's 628.3 N and down from the 63 mm bore's 1558.6 N. Choose the 50 mm bore for a balance of force and compact size in medium-duty automation. The 175 mm stroke is within the 250 mm maximum standard stroke, so it ships as a standard unit. Since this model has no -S code, it has no magnet, so CMSE or DMSE sensors cannot be mounted; order the -S variant if you need position sensing. Mounting options like FA/FB flange, LB foot, or CA/CB clevis bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the male rod thread accepts standard rod-end fittings.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 981.7 N and the pull force 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 operating pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
The ACE50X175B has a short body that saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into tight spaces like guard enclosures or gantries. The fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke impact, and the hard-anodized aluminium body resists corrosion. Note that this model has no magnet, so to use CMSE or DMSE sensors, you must order the -S option.
