The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE50X225B 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 ACE50X225B is a double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, with a 50 mm bore and a 225 mm stroke. It delivers 981.7 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, so it suits mid-force automation tasks like clamping and light pressing. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which lets it fit into tight machine frames and guard enclosures where a longer cylinder will not go.
The male rod thread (B code) simplifies direct coupling to linkages, and the 1/8" port matches standard fittings. For a safe working load, plan for about 589 N at 0.5 MPa, which equals lifting roughly 60 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke impact, and the hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod resists wear in continuous cycling.

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.

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 this ACE50X225B to clamp sheet metal parts in a drilling jig, where the 981.7 N push at 0.5 MPa holds the workpiece firmly and the compact body fits under the fixture table.
Mount this cylinder at a conveyor transfer point to raise a stop gate. The 225 mm stroke lifts the gate clear of the product path, and the fixed TPU bumper handles repeated stops without shock.
In a packaging line, this cylinder pushes cartons off a roller conveyor. The 881.2 N pull at 0.5 MPa retracts the pusher arm quickly, and the male rod thread connects to a custom paddle.
When sizing, compare this 50 mm bore unit with the 40 mm bore ACE40, which pushes 628.3 N at 0.5 MPa, or the 63 mm bore ACE63, which pushes 1558.6 N at 0.5 MPa. The 225 mm stroke is within the 250 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it is a stock item. Since this model has no -S code, there is no magnet fitted, so CMSE or DMSE sensors cannot be used without ordering the optional -S version. For mounting, choose FA or FB flanges, LB foot brackets, CA or CB clevises, CR, SDB pivot, or FTC brackets that bolt directly to the ISO 21287 face.
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), and the proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
This is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder, so its body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. That saves space in tight fixtures. The fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke energy, but it does not lock or hold a load. For position holding, use a rod lock or pilot check valve.
