About the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE50X175SB
This AirTAC ACE50X175SB is a double acting compact cylinder that delivers 981.7 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, making it a solid choice for mid-force automation tasks. Its ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length compared to an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into tight machine frames and guarding where a full-length unit will not.
With the optional -S magnet already fitted, this model works with CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches for reliable position sensing. The hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome plated rod resist wear in continuous cycling, while the fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke impact. For a 2:1 safety margin on vertical lifts, plan to lift about 50 kg (half of the 100.2 kgf theoretical lift at 1.0 MPa) to keep the actuator within a comfortable working range.

Where the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE50X175SB Is Used
Fixture Clamping
Use in a CNC machine fixture to clamp a 50 kg workpiece during drilling or milling. The 981.7 N push at 0.5 MPa provides firm holding, and the compact body fits under the machine guard.
Package Stop Gate
Mount on a conveyor line to stop or divert boxes weighing up to 45 kg. The 175 mm stroke allows the gate to rise fully above the product, and the magnet lets a sensor confirm the gate is down.
Pallet Lift Assist
In a packing station, use this cylinder to raise a pallet or platform by 175 mm. With a safe working load of about 60 kg at 0.5 MPa, it can lift a loaded tote for ergonomic access.
Is the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE50X175SB the Right Cylinder?
For lighter loads, consider the ACE40X175 with 628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa, or step up to the ACE63X175 for 1558.6 N push at the same pressure if your application needs more force. This 50 mm bore model with a 175 mm stroke fits between those options and suits applications requiring a moderate stroke with a compact footprint.
Since this unit has the -S magnet, you can mount CMSE or DMSE switches directly to sense rod position. The male rod thread (B code) simplifies attachment of custom tooling. Remember, this cylinder does not hold position when air is removed; for load holding, add a rod lock or pilot check valve.
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 ACE50X175SB FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this cylinder provides 981.7 N push and 881.2 N pull. At 0.7 MPa, push is 1374.4 N and pull is 1233.7 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 200.2 kgf. These figures are for the 50 mm bore with a 16 mm rod.
The ACE50X175SB has a short body that saves about 50% of the mounting length compared to an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits in tight spaces. It uses a fixed TPU bumper at both ends to absorb impact, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE or DMSE switch mounting for position sensing.
