Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE50X5
The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE50X5 is a genuine double acting ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 5mm 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 ACE50X5
This AirTAC ACE50X5 is a double acting compact cylinder that extends and retracts its rod with air pressure, delivering 981.7 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. Its 5 mm stroke suits short indexing moves, and the fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs impact without needing adjustment.
Because the body follows ISO 21287, it is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into tight machine frames where a full-length unit will not. At 0.5 MPa, plan for a safe working load of roughly 589 N (about 60 kg) for real applications, and the optional -S magnet can be added for CMSE or DMSE sensors, but this unit has no magnet fitted.

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.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø50mm)
| 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.

Where the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE50X5 Is Used
Fixture Clamping
Use the ACE50X5 to clamp a small part in a CNC fixture, with its 5 mm stroke providing a quick, firm hold for drilling or milling operations.
Label Applicator
In a packaging line, this cylinder can push a label applicator head forward 5 mm to press labels onto boxes, cycling at speeds up to 500 mm/s.
Stop Gate
Mount the ACE50X5 as a stop gate on a conveyor, extending its rod to block a product for 5 mm of travel, then retracting to let it pass.
Is the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE50X5 the Right Cylinder?
For a 50 mm bore, the ACE50X5 provides a strong 981.7 N push at 0.5 MPa, while a smaller ACE32X25 offers 402.1 N for lighter tasks, and a larger ACE63X5 would give 1558.6 N for heavier loads. This short-stroke version is ideal where space is limited, but remember it does not hold position when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put.
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 ACE50X5 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, push force 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.
The ACE50X5 body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, saving mounting space. It has a fixed TPU bumper at both ends to absorb impact, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE or DMSE sensors, but this model has no magnet fitted.
