About the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED125X150B
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED125X150B pushes a 25 mm rod out of BOTH covers, so thrust is identical on the extend and retract strokes. At 0.5 MPa this 125 mm bore delivers 5890.5 N in either direction, rising to 8246.7 N at 0.7 MPa. The male rod thread (B code) bolts straight to your tooling, and the through-rod resists rotation and side load while the rear rod can carry a sensor flag or a second fixture.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with a hard-chrome plated S45C rod runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-500 mm/s, from -20 to +70 C. Its short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into heavy presses and gantries where a full-length body will not fit. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock. As a planning figure, treat roughly 3534 N (about 360 kg) as the usable working thrust, which means this cylinder lifts about 180 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

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 ACED125X150B Is Used
Heavy stamping and forming press
The 5890.5 N bidirectional thrust at 0.5 MPa and 150 mm stroke suit short-stroke forming, embossing and crimping stations on sheet-metal lines where a full-length body will not fit under the ram.
Pallet stacker lift column
With about 180 kg of vertical lift capacity at a 2:1 margin, the through-rod carries the lifting platen on both faces, giving a symmetric mount and resisting platen rotation.
Clamping fixture with rear feedback
The front rod drives the clamp arm while the rear rod carries a flag plate, so a proximity sensor confirms clamp position without extra hardware on the fixture plate.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED125X150B the Right Cylinder?
Step up from the 100 mm bore (3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa) when your press, clamp or lift needs the 5890.5 N class; drop to the 100 mm bore if the load stays under about 2260 N of real work. The 150 mm stroke sits well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so no made-to-order build is needed. Choose FA/FB flange, LB foot or FTC mounting plus I or Y rod knuckles on the ISO 21287 face. This unit has no magnet; if you need CMSE or DMSE position switches, order the -S variant instead. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost, so add 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 ACED125X150B FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, force is equal in both directions: 5890.5 N at 0.5 MPa and 8246.7 N at 0.7 MPa on each stroke, with a maximum of 1201.3 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a hard-anodized aluminium body, hard-chrome plated S45C rod, 1/4" ports and a fixed TPU bumper at each end; the short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. The male rod thread (B code) suits direct tooling attachment. Position sensing requires the optional -S magnet code, which enables CMSE or DMSE switches; this model ships without a magnet.
