Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED125X150
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED125X150 is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 150mm 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 ACED125X150
A double acting ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACED125X150 delivers 5890.5 N at 0.5 MPa in either direction because both strokes work on the rod-side area. The 125 mm bore and 150 mm stroke suit heavy presses, clamps and lift stations that need symmetric force from one body. Its short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits inside guards and gantry frames where a full-length cylinder cannot.
The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a S45C hard-chrome plated 25 mm rod on each end, and a fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke shock. The through-rod resists rotation and side load, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag or a second tooling plate. At 0.5 MPa the thrust equals roughly 600 kgf, so halving for a 2:1 margin lets it lift about 300 kg vertically. Running range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at 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 ACED125X150 Is Used
Heavy stamping press fixture
The 5890.5 N rod-side thrust at 0.5 MPa (8246.7 N at 0.7 MPa) swages and clinches steel brackets on an automotive subassembly line, with equal force on the return stroke to strip the part off the die.
Pallet lift-and-lower station
With about 300 kg of vertical lift capacity at a 2:1 margin, the double rod guides a pallet elevator platen straight down without a separate guide column, and the rear rod carries the position flag.
Foundry mold clamp
The symmetric through-rod clamps a sand mold from both sides of the fixture, and the short ISO 21287 body tucks between the mold rails where a full-length profile cylinder would not fit.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED125X150 the Right Cylinder?
If 5890.5 N at 0.5 MPa is more than the job needs, the ACED100X150 gives 3769.9 N in the same compact envelope; if you need more, the 125 mm bore is already the largest in the ACED range. The 150 mm stroke sits well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it ships as a catalog item. Female M16x2.0 rod threads on both ends accept standard rod knuckles (I or Y), and FA flange, LB foot or FTC brackets bolt to the ISO 21287 face. This code has no magnet, so position sensing requires reordering with the optional -S code for CMSE / DMSE switches. A plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, so pair it with a rod lock or pilot check for held loads.
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 ACED125X150 FAQ
Yes. Because a rod exits both covers, both strokes use the rod-side area: 5890.5 N at 0.5 MPa and 8246.7 N at 0.7 MPa, equal push and pull. At 1.0 MPa the peak output is 1201.3 kgf. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, speed 30-500 mm/s, and the 1/4" PT ports take air filtered to 40 um.
This version has a female M16x2.0 thread on both rod ends, a fixed TPU bumper at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration, and a hard-anodized aluminium body with S45C hard-chrome rods. No magnet is fitted on this code; order the optional -S version to enable CMSE or DMSE switches in the body slots. FA flange, LB foot and FTC mounts bolt to the standard ISO 21287 face, and the 150 mm stroke is within the 300 mm standard maximum for this bore.
