The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE50X225 is a genuine double acting ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 225mm 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 ACE50X225 is a double acting compact cylinder that extends and retracts its 16 mm rod with air pressure on both strokes. It delivers 981.7 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, so for real work plan on about 589 N (60 kg) of usable load at that pressure, and it can lift roughly 30 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which lets it fit into tight jigs and gantries where a full-length cylinder will not. The hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome rod resist wear, and the fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke energy without any adjustment.

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.

|---|---|
| 50 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×225 | Stroke length in mm. |
| 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 at 0.5 MPa to clamp sheet metal fixtures in a stamping press, with the short body fitting under a die guard.
Position a 225 mm stroke to stop and release cartons on a packaging line, relying on the fixed TPU bumper to absorb repeated impacts.
Mount on a gantry to lift a 30 kg sensor head vertically, using the 881.2 N pull force at 0.5 MPa for the return stroke.
For a lighter duty at this bore, consider the ACE40X225 with 628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa, or step up to the ACE63X225 for 1558.6 N push if you need more force. This ACE50X225 has a 1/8" port and a female M10x1.5 rod thread, and it accepts FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, and FTC mounts. Note that this model has no magnet, so order the -S code if you need to fit CMSE or DMSE sensors.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, push is 981.7 N and pull 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.
No, this model has no magnet, so CMSE or DMSE switches cannot be fitted. You must order the -S code (e.g., ACE50X225S) to get the optional magnet for sensor mounting.
