About the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE50X30BH
This AirTAC ACE50X30BH is a double acting ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a 50 mm bore and a 30 mm stroke, delivering 981.7 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. Its short, hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, making it ideal for tight machine frames and guarding where space is at a premium.
With a male rod thread (B code) and a 1/8" port, this unit is ready for direct coupling. For real-world work, plan for about 589 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa, which lifts roughly 60 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke impact, and since this model has no -S code, it has no magnet for sensors.

Where the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE50X30BH Is Used
Fixture Clamping
Use the 981.7 N push force to clamp small parts in a CNC vise or a dedicated workholding fixture, where the short body fits under a low spindle guard.
Carton Tabbing
Drive a tab-folding mechanism on a case packer, cycling at up to 500 mm/s to keep pace with a high-speed packaging line without taking up extra machine length.
Stop Gate
Actuate a light-duty stop gate on a conveyor, using the 881.2 N retract force to pull the gate clear between product batches, with the TPU bumper softening each cycle.
Is the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE50X30BH the Right Cylinder?
When sizing, compare this 50 mm bore unit (981.7 N push) with a 40 mm bore (628.3 N) if you need less force, or step up to a 63 mm bore (1558.6 N) for heavier loads. The 30 mm stroke is well within the 250 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it is a standard, ready-to-ship item. This version has a male rod thread, so pair it with a female-threaded coupling or rod clevis. Since there is no magnet, it cannot accept CMSE or DMSE switches; order the -S variant if you need position sensing.
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 ACE50X30BH FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, push force is 981.7 N and pull is 881.2 N. At 0.7 MPa, push rises to 1374.4 N and pull to 1233.7 N. The theoretical maximum force is 200.2 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
No, this model (without the -S suffix) has no magnet, so CMSE or DMSE switches cannot be used. The magnet is an optional add-on; order the -S code to enable sensor mounting. The fixed TPU bumper is not a cushion and does not hold loads in position.
