Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE50X80B
The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE50X80B is a genuine double acting ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 80mm 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 ACE50X80B
This AirTAC ACE50X80B is a double acting ISO 21287 compact cylinder that extends and retracts its 16 mm hard-chrome rod with air pressure on both strokes. At 0.5 MPa it delivers 981.7 N of push force, which translates to a practical vertical lift of about 60 kg when you apply a 2:1 safety margin, so it can handle real part weights in assembly fixtures.
The short body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length compared to an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which lets it fit into tight guarding and tooling envelopes. Since this unit has no -S code, there is no magnet fitted, so CMSE or DMSE sensors cannot be mounted without ordering the optional -S version. The fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke impact, and the hard-anodized aluminium body resists wear in continuous cycling.

Where the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE50X80B Is Used
Fixture Clamping
Use the 981.7 N push force to clamp sheet metal parts in a CNC milling fixture, where the compact body fits under the spindle guard without reducing travel.
Carton Tamping
Mount this cylinder on a packaging line to tamp folded cartons into a case, leveraging the 80 mm stroke and 881.2 N pull force for a clean retraction cycle.
Gantry Stop
Deploy as a pneumatically actuated stop on a gantry pick-and-place system, where the short ISO 21287 body saves space and the TPU bumper handles repeated impacts.
Is the Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE50X80B the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this ACE50X80B, compare it against the ACE40X80 for lighter loads (628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa) or step up to the ACE63X80 for heavier work (1558.6 N push at 0.5 MPa). The 1/8" port matches common 6 mm tubing, and the male rod thread (B code) simplifies mounting clevises or rod ends directly. For applications that need position sensing, order the ACE50X80SB version with the optional -S magnet; without it, this cylinder cannot trigger a reed or solid-state switch. Remember that this cylinder does not hold its position when air pressure is lost, so use 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 ACE50X80B 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 rises to 1374.4 N and pull to 1233.7 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 200.2 kgf. Operating pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
The ACE50X80B follows ISO 21287, a compact standard that cuts the mounting length by about 50% compared to an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. This is achieved by threading the aluminium covers directly onto the hard-anodized body, which also simplifies service. The fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke energy, but it does not provide adjustable cushioning or load holding.
