The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE50X30SBH is a genuine double acting ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 30mm 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 ACE50X30SBH is a double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, with a 50 mm bore and a 30 mm stroke. Its hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome rod deliver 981.7 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, so it can handle moderate automation tasks in tight spaces. The fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs impact, and the optional -S magnet is already fitted here, enabling CMSE or DMSE switches for position sensing.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, making it ideal for compact jigs and gantries. For a safe working load, plan for about 589 N (roughly 60 kg) of real work at 0.5 MPa, not the full 981.7 N rating, to keep a 2:1 margin. This model also has a male rod thread (B code) and a 1/8" port, so it connects directly to standard fittings.

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 50 mm bore cylinder to clamp small parts in a CNC fixture, where the short body fits under a guard and the 981.7 N push force holds components securely during machining.
Mount this cylinder on a packaging conveyor to divert boxes into lanes. The 30 mm stroke moves a gate quickly, and the fitted magnet lets a CMSE switch confirm each cycle.
In a quality lab, this cylinder pushes a sample against a load cell for a compression test. The 881.2 N pull force at 0.5 MPa retracts the probe reliably after each measurement.
Choose this ACE50X30SBH when you need a 50 mm bore with a 30 mm stroke and a male rod thread. For lighter loads, the ACE32X25 offers 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the ACE63X30 steps up to 1558.6 N push at 0.5 MPa for heavier work. Since this is a double acting cylinder, it extends and retracts with air, but it will not hold position if air pressure is lost - use a rod lock or pilot check valve for load holding.
Mounting options like FA/FB flanges, LB foot brackets, or CA/CB clevises bolt directly to the ISO 21287 face, so it fits standard fixtures. The fitted -S magnet allows CMSE or DMSE sensors to detect the piston position, which is useful for automated cycle control. With a 1/8" port and PT thread, it integrates easily into most pneumatic systems.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, push force is 981.7 N and 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 50 mm bore uses a 16 mm rod and a 1/8" port.
The body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits in confined areas like machine guards or robotic end-of-arm tooling. The fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact, but it is not a lock - for holding a load, add a rod lock or pilot check valve.
