Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED125X15
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED125X15 is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 15mm 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.

About the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED125X15
The ACED125X15 is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to the ISO 21287 short-body format. A 25 mm rod exits both aluminium covers, so thrust is identical on each stroke: 5890.5 N at 0.5 MPa and 8246.7 N at 0.7 MPa from the 125 mm bore. At the 15 mm stroke this suits short-throw pressing, clamping and positioning where a full-length body would never fit - the frame takes up roughly half the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder.
The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount; the rear rod stub can carry a sensor flag on a fixture. Plan on about 3534 N (roughly 360 kgf) of usable work at 0.5 MPa, or about 300 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. The hard-anodized body carries an S45C hard-chrome rod, fixed TPU bumpers sit at both ends, and the female M16x2.0 rod thread plus 1/4" PT ports keep plumbing simple. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s.

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 (Ø125mm)
| Pressure | Force (both ways) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 5890 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 8247 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 1201 kgf |
Double-rod: a rod exits both covers, so output force is equal in both directions (rod-side area used).

Where the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED125X15 Is Used
Short-stroke press station
A 15 mm throw with 5890.5 N both ways at 0.5 MPa is enough to stake, mark or seat bearings on an assembly line where the cylinder must sit inside a tight press head.
Gantry clamp fixture
The short ISO 21287 body bolts between gantry rails with FA flanges, and the through-rod keeps the clamp pad square under side load on machined housings.
Palletizer push-off arm
A 125 mm bore driving a pusher blade clears heavy pallet loads in one quick 15 mm kick, with the rear rod stub available for a position flag.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED125X15 the Right Cylinder?
For this force class the neighbours are bore 100 (3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa) if the load is lighter, and there is no larger bore in the series - 125 mm is the top of the ACED range at 5890.5 N. The 15 mm stroke is well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it ships as a standard build. Remember that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost; add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put. Mount with FA/FB flanges, LB feet or FTC brackets, and order the -S code only if you need the magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches - without -S there is no magnet fitted.
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 ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED125X15 FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design means both strokes use the rod-side area, so output is equal both ways: 5890.5 N at 0.5 MPa and 8246.7 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum of 1201.3 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the bore takes 1/4" PT ports with an M16x2.0 female rod thread.
It follows the ISO 21287 short-body format, saving about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a hard-anodized aluminium body, S45C hard-chrome rod and fixed TPU bumpers at both ends. Position sensing needs the optional -S magnet code, which enables CMSE / DMSE switches; without -S no magnet is fitted. FA/FB flanges, LB feet and FTC brackets bolt to the standard ISO 21287 face.
