Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED125X15SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED125X15SB 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 ACED125X15SB
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED125X15SB pushes a 125 mm piston through a 15 mm stroke with a rod leaving BOTH covers, so thrust is identical on the extend and retract strokes. At 0.5 MPa it delivers 5890.5 N in either direction, and 8246.7 N at 0.7 MPa. The male rod thread (B code) bolts straight into your tooling, and the fitted -S magnet lets CMSE / DMSE switches report end positions.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with a burnished bore runs an S45C hard-chrome rod at 30-500 mm/s across 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi). Because the short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, this 125 mm bore fits heavy clamping stations where a full-length body would not. As a rule of thumb, plan on roughly 3534 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which is about 360 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. Fixed TPU bumpers absorb end-of-stroke shock at both covers.

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 ACED125X15SB Is Used
Heavy press-fit stamping die
The 5890.5 N through-stroke seats bearings or bushings into housings on a short 15 mm advance, with the male rod thread carrying the press anvil directly.
Aluminium die-casting trim station
Both-end rods let the trim ram and a back-end sensor flag share one symmetric mount, while CMSE switches via the fitted magnet confirm gate closure.
Pallet strapper tension head
Equal force both ways tensions and releases steel strapping at 0.7 MPa (8246.7 N), and the compact body slots into the strapper frame where a profile cylinder cannot.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED125X15SB the Right Cylinder?
At this force class the 125 mm bore is near the top of the range: the next size down, the 100 mm bore, gives 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa, while 125 mm is the largest compact bore AirTAC offers in this series. If your press or clamp needs more than 5890.5 N per direction, move to a larger frame cylinder instead. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve for held loads. Foot (LB), flange (FA/FB) and FTC brackets mount on the ISO 21287 face, and the 1/4" PT ports suit standard air preparation. The 15 mm stroke sits well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore.
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 ACED125X15SB FAQ
Yes - it is a double-rod cylinder, so a rod exits both covers and every stroke uses the rod-side area. Output is 5890.5 N at 0.5 MPa and 8246.7 N at 0.7 MPa, identical on extend and retract, with a maximum of about 1201.3 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the 15 mm stroke is a standard stroke (bore 125 allows up to 300 mm).
The S in the model code means the optional -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clipped into the body slots to signal positions. FA/FB flanges, LB foot and FTC brackets plus I and Y rod knuckles bolt to the ISO 21287 mounting face. A fixed TPU bumper at each cover absorbs end-of-stroke energy; it does not hold or brake a load, so use a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put when air is lost.
