The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED125X150SB 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.
The ACED125X150SB is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to ISO 21287: a 125 mm bore pushes 5890.5 N at 0.5 MPa and 8246.7 N at 0.7 MPa, and because a rod exits both covers the force is identical in both directions. The 25 mm through-rod resists rotation and side load, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag or a second tool. Its short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits heavy presses and gantries where a full-length body will not.
The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a S45C hard-chrome-plated rod, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end to absorb end-of-stroke energy. This S-code model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be mounted for position feedback. At 0.5 MPa the usable working force is roughly 3534 N, which lifts about 300 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at speeds of 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.
| 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).

|---|---|
| 125 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×150 | Stroke length in mm. |
| S | Optional built-in magnet for CMSE / DMSE sensors (omit for no magnet). |
| B | Rod type: B = male thread; blank = female thread. |
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.
5890.5 N at 0.5 MPa in both directions suits a 150 mm-stroke punching or riveting head on a compact fixture, with the TPU bumper absorbing end-of-stroke shock.
The symmetric through-rod gives equal force up and down, so a 300 kg part (with 2:1 margin) can be raised and lowered from either rod end on a robotic gantry.
With the fitted -S magnet, CMSE / DMSE switches confirm clamp-open and clamp-closed on an automotive welding fixture without external proximity hardware.
At this force class the 125 mm bore delivers 5890.5 N both ways at 0.5 MPa; step down to a 100 mm bore (3769.9 N) for lighter clamping, or up to the same bore with a longer stroke up to 300 mm standard. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay held. The male rod thread (B code) suits external rod accessories, and FA/FB flange or LB foot mounts bolt to the ISO 21287 face; the fitted -S magnet accepts CMSE / DMSE switches.
Quick checklist
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, force is equal in both directions: 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 150 mm stroke sits within the 300 mm standard range for the 125 mm bore.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a hard-anodized aluminium body, S45C hard-chrome-plated 25 mm rod and a fixed TPU bumper at each end; the short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. This S-code model carries the -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount in the body slots for end-position detection.
