Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE50X175SH
The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE50X175SH 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.

About the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE50X175SH
This AirTAC ACE50X175SH is a double acting compact cylinder that uses air to both extend and retract its 16 mm rod. It delivers a 981.7 N push force at 0.5 MPa, making it a solid choice for mid-range automation tasks where space is tight.
Its ISO 21287 short body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into compact machine frames and guarding. The included -S magnet allows you to fit CMSE or DMSE switches for position sensing, and the fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke impact. For a real-world load, plan for about 60 kg of safe vertical lifting at 0.5 MPa, which is roughly 60% of the rated push force.

Where the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE50X175SH Is Used
Fixture Clamping
Use in a CNC machine fixture to clamp a mid-sized aluminum part. The 981.7 N push force at 0.5 MPa holds the workpiece securely during milling, and the compact body fits under the machine guard.
Carton Pusher
On a packaging line, this cylinder can push a filled carton off a conveyor onto a chute. The 175 mm stroke provides enough travel, and the 881.2 N pull force retracts the pusher arm quickly.
Sorting Gate
In a warehouse sorting system, mount this cylinder to operate a diverter gate that routes parcels to different lanes. The short stroke and robust force handle boxes up to 60 kg, and the optional magnet lets you confirm the gate position.
Is the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE50X175SH the Right Cylinder?
When sizing, compare this 50 mm bore with the smaller 40 mm bore, which pushes 628.3 N at 0.5 MPa, or the larger 63 mm bore, which pushes 1558.6 N. The 175 mm stroke is within the 250 mm standard maximum for this bore. For applications needing to hold a load when air pressure is lost, remember this cylinder does not lock; you will need an external 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 ACE50X175SH FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 981.7 N and the pull force is 881.2 N. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 1374.4 N and the pull force is 1233.7 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 200.2 kgf.
It follows the ISO 21287 standard, which means its body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. This makes it ideal for tight spaces. It also has a fixed TPU bumper at both ends to absorb impact, and the -S code includes a magnet for mounting CMSE or DMSE sensors.
