Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE50X30SH
The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE50X30SH 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.

About the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE50X30SH
This AirTAC ACE50X30SH is a double acting compact cylinder that extends and retracts its 16 mm rod with air pressure on both strokes. It delivers a solid 981.7 N push force at 0.5 MPa, which is enough to handle moderate clamping and light pressing jobs in tight spaces.
The ISO 21287 short body takes up about 50% less mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into compact jigs and guarded machinery. The optional -S magnet is fitted here, enabling CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches for reliable position sensing. For real work, plan on about 60 kg of safe vertical lift at 0.5 MPa, a practical margin for production duty.

Where the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE50X30SH Is Used
Jig Clamping
Use the 981.7 N push at 0.5 MPa to clamp sheet metal parts firmly in a welding jig, with the short body fitting under a worktable guard.
Carton Tamping
In a packaging line, this 30 mm stroke cylinder tamps folded cartons flat before sealing, delivering a consistent 881.2 N pull on the return stroke.
Stop Gate
Mount it on a conveyor to raise a stop gate for product separation, using the 1374.4 N push at 0.7 MPa to handle light to medium package weights.
Is the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE50X30SH the Right Cylinder?
For a lighter duty in the same footprint, the ACE40X30 offers 628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the ACE63X30 gives you 1558.6 N push for heavier loads. This 50 mm bore with a 30 mm stroke suits short-travel applications where you need a strong push without the bulk of a longer cylinder.
Mount it with FA/FB flanges, LB foot brackets, or CA/CB clevis mounts that bolt directly to the ISO 21287 face. Since this model carries the -S magnet, you can add CMSE or DMSE switches for end-of-stroke detection. Remember, this cylinder does not hold its position if air pressure is lost, so use a rod lock or pilot check valve for load holding.
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 ACE50X30SH FAQ
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. These figures are for the double acting cylinder with a 50 mm bore and 16 mm rod.
The magnet is an optional feature, and this model includes it because of the -S code. With the magnet fitted, you can mount CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches to detect the piston position. Without the -S option, no magnet is present, so sensors would not work.
