About the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED125X175
The ACED125X175 is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to the ISO 21287 short-body format, with a 125 mm bore and a 175 mm stroke. A 25 mm hard-chrome-plated S45C rod exits BOTH covers, so the output force is equal in both directions - 5890.5 N at 0.5 MPa and 8246.7 N at 0.7 MPa on every stroke, because both sides work on the rod-side area. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and speed runs 30-500 mm/s.
The hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which matters when a 6-tonne-class actuator must fit inside a press gantry or a guarded weld cell. As a sizing rule of thumb, plan on roughly 3534 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa (about 60% of rating), which corresponds to lifting around 300 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The through-rod also resists rotation and side load, and its back end can carry a sensor flag. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. Note: this model has no magnet fitted - order the -S code if you want CMSE / DMSE switch sensing.

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 ACED125X175 Is Used
Press and forming fixtures
Delivers 5890.5 N in each direction at 0.5 MPa for stamping, crimping or clinching stations where the symmetric through-rod lets the die mount on either end of the 175 mm stroke.
Heavy weld-cell clamping
The short ISO 21287 body fits inside guarded robotic weld fixtures, pushing or pulling fixture arms with equal 8246.7 N force at 0.7 MPa from either side.
Pallet transfer pushers
On warehouse transfer lines, the double rod resists side load while shifting pallet stops; the rear rod end can carry a flag for a proximity sensor.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED125X175 the Right Cylinder?
At 5890.5 N per direction at 0.5 MPa, the 125 mm bore sits at the top of the ACED range; step down to the 100 mm bore (3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa) if your load is lighter, or move to a larger-bore series if you need more than 8246.7 N at 0.7 MPa. The 175 mm stroke is well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so no made-to-order stroke is needed. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets plus I and Y rod knuckles bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face. 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. Female M16x2.0 rod thread, PT ports, 1/4".
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 ACED125X175 FAQ
No - because a 25 mm rod exits both covers, both strokes use the rod-side area, so 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 range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C, air filtered to 40 um.
A fixed TPU bumper at each cover absorbs end-of-stroke energy; it is not adjustable and never holds or brakes a load, so use a rod lock or pilot check where position must be kept on air loss. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets plus I/Y rod knuckles mount on the ISO 21287 face. Sensing requires the optional -S magnet code - this version has no magnet, so no CMSE or DMSE switch can be fitted unless -S is ordered.
