The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE80X125SB is a genuine double acting ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 125mm stroke, 1/4" 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.
This AirTAC ACE80X125SB is a double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, with a hard-anodized aluminium body and a hard-chrome plated S45C steel rod. It delivers 2513.3 N of push force and 2356.2 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, and at 0.7 MPa the push rises to 3518.6 N, making it a strong choice for mid-size automation tasks.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into tight machine frames and guarding where a longer cylinder will not. The optional -S magnet is fitted on this unit, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be mounted directly to sense the piston position. As a practical rule, plan for about 1508 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which is roughly 154 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 safety margin, so you can match it to actual part weights.

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.

ACE-family variants: ACE (double acting), ASE / ATE (single acting push / pull), ACED (double rod), ACEJ (adjustable stroke), TACE / TACED (non-rotating twin-guide yoke). Mounting accessories: FA / FB flange, LB foot, CA / CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, FTC; plus I and Y knuckles. Thread PT (blank) / G.
Mount this 80 mm bore cylinder on a CNC machine guard door to clamp it shut during machining cycles. The 2513.3 N push at 0.5 MPa holds the door firmly, and the compact body fits within the machine frame envelope.
Use in a packaging line to push filled cartons off a conveyor onto a chute. The 125 mm stroke provides enough travel to clear the belt, while the 2356.2 N pull retracts the rod quickly for the next cycle.
In a welding jig, this cylinder can lift a 150 kg fixture plate vertically for loading and unloading. The 3518.6 N push at 0.7 MPa gives ample margin, and the ISO 21287 face accepts standard FA or LB brackets for quick installation.
For a lighter load, consider the ACE63X125 with 1558.6 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the ACE100X125 steps up to 3927.0 N push for heavier work. This 80 mm bore model suits applications needing a balance of force and compactness, and the 125 mm stroke fits typical pick-and-place and clamping cycles. The male rod thread (B code) simplifies mounting to custom tooling, and the 1/4" port matches standard air lines. Since the magnet is fitted, you can add CMSE or DMSE switches for position sensing, but remember that a plain ACE does not hold its load if air pressure is lost - use a rod lock or pilot check valve for vertical or safety-critical applications.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 2513.3 N and the pull force is 2356.2 N. At 0.7 MPa, the push is 3518.6 N and the pull is 3298.7 N. The theoretical maximum force is 512.6 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 ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into compact jigs and machine guards. The magnet is not standard on all ACE cylinders - it is an optional -S code. This model has the -S magnet fitted, so you can mount CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches for position sensing. The fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke impact, but it does not lock or hold the load.
