The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE50X20H is a genuine double acting ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 20mm 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 ACE50X20H is a double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, with a 50 mm bore and a 20 mm stroke. It delivers 981.7 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, making it a solid choice for medium-duty automation tasks.
The hard-anodized aluminium body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which helps it fit into tight machine frames. The fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact, and the 1/8" port keeps installation simple. For a safe working load, plan for about 589 N at 0.5 MPa, which translates to lifting roughly 60 kg vertically 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.
| 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.

| S | Optional built-in magnet for CMSE / DMSE sensors (omit for no magnet). |
| B | Rod type: B = male thread; blank = female thread. |
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 force to drive a small arbor press for inserting bearings or bushings into housings on an assembly line.
Mount this cylinder to fold and close the flaps of cardboard boxes before sealing, with the 20 mm stroke providing quick, repeatable motion.
Actuate a diverter gate on a conveyor to route products to different lanes, relying on the compact body to fit within the conveyor frame.
When sizing, consider the ACE40 with 628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa for lighter applications, or step up to the ACE63 with 1558.6 N push for more demanding loads. This 50 mm bore version offers a balanced force-to-size ratio for many industrial uses.
Since this model has no -S code, it lacks the optional magnet for sensor mounting. If you need position sensing with CMSE or DMSE switches, order the -S variant. The female M10x1.5 rod thread and standard mounting options like FA/FB flange or LB foot make it adaptable to existing fixtures.
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 increases to 1374.4 N and pull to 1233.7 N. The theoretical maximum force is 200.2 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, it is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a body about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. However, this version has no magnet, so it cannot be used with CMSE or DMSE sensors. You would need the -S option for that.
