Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE50X40SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE50X40SB is a genuine double acting ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 40mm 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 ACE50X40SB
This AirTAC ACE50X40SB is a double acting compact cylinder that extends and retracts its rod with air pressure, delivering a 981.7 N push force at 0.5 MPa. Its ISO 21287 body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into tight machine frames where a full-length unit will not.
The hard-anodized aluminium body and hard-chrome plated S45C steel rod resist wear in continuous cycling. The fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs impact, and the optional -S magnet is fitted here, enabling CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches for position sensing. For a real workload, plan around 589 N at 0.5 MPa, which is about 60 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 safety margin.

Where the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE50X40SB Is Used
Fixture Clamping
Clamp small parts in a CNC vise or fixture with 981.7 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, enough to hold aluminum or plastic workpieces securely during milling.
Parcel Stops
Actuate a stop finger on a packaging conveyor to divert boxes. The 40 mm stroke retracts quickly, and the compact body fits between roller sections.
Guard Door Interlock
Push a safety interlock pin into a machine guard frame. The 50 mm bore provides reliable force, and the optional magnet lets a sensor confirm the guard is closed.
Is the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE50X40SB the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 50 mm bore when you need a mid-range force: it pushes 981.7 N at 0.5 MPa, compared to 402.1 N for a 32 mm bore or 1558.6 N for a 63 mm bore. The 40 mm stroke suits short indexing moves, and the male rod thread (B) lets you bolt on a clevis or rod end directly.
Since this model carries the -S magnet, you can attach CMSE or DMSE switches to confirm position. Mount it with FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis, or SDB pivot brackets. Remember, this cylinder does not hold its load when air is removed - use a rod lock or pilot check valve for vertical 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 ACE50X40SB FAQ
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. Operating pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
The ACE50X40SB body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder of the same bore, so it fits in confined jigs and gantries. It has a fixed TPU bumper at both ends to absorb impact, and the optional -S magnet allows CMSE or DMSE switch mounting for position feedback.
