Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE50X5S
The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE50X5S 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 ACE50X5S
This ACE50X5S is a double acting ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a 50 mm bore and a 5 mm stroke, delivering 981.7 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. Its short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, letting it fit into tight machine guarding and compact jigs where a full-length cylinder would not fit.
For a 2:1 safety margin, plan to lift about 30 kg vertically with this unit at 0.5 MPa, since the theoretical lift is about 100 kg. The fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke energy for quiet cycling, and the optional -S magnet is fitted here so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be mounted for position sensing.

Where the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE50X5S Is Used
Short-Stroke Clamping
Use the ACE50X5S to clamp thin workpieces in a CNC fixture, where its 5 mm stroke and 981.7 N push at 0.5 MPa provide firm holding without over-travel.
Indexing Stop on Conveyor
Mount this cylinder as a pneumatic stop on a packaging line, where the short stroke and 881.2 N pull force at 0.5 MPa retract a stop pin quickly between product batches.
Compact Guard Door Interlock
In a robotic cell, this cylinder can actuate a small guard door latch, using its 50 mm bore and 5 mm stroke to fit within a slim profile while the optional magnet signals door position.
Is the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE50X5S the Right Cylinder?
For a lighter duty in the same family, the ACE40X5 delivers 628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the ACE63X5 gives 1558.6 N push at the same pressure. This 5 mm stroke suits short indexing moves, and the 1/8" port keeps plumbing simple. Since this model carries the -S magnet, you can add CMSE or DMSE switches directly; without the -S code, no magnet is present. Mounting options include FA/FB flange, LB foot, CA/CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, and FTC brackets, all matching the ISO 21287 face. Remember, a plain ACE does not hold its position when air is lost, so for a held load use a rod lock or pilot check valve.
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 ACE50X5S 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. The operating pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
The ACE50X5S has a hard-anodized aluminium body that is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, saving mounting length. It includes a fixed TPU bumper at both ends to absorb shock, and the optional -S magnet allows CMSE or DMSE switches to detect rod position. Mounting options include flange, foot, clevis, and pivot brackets.
