About the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED125X175S
A double acting AirTAC ACED125X175S puts a 25 mm rod out of both covers of an ISO 21287 compact body, so the 125 mm bore delivers 5890.5 N at 0.5 MPa and 8246.7 N at 0.7 MPa in BOTH directions - both strokes work on the rod-side area, with no push-versus-pull difference to compensate for. The through-rod resists rotation and side load, gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag or a second tool. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with a hard-chrome plated S45C rod is built for long service, and the short ISO 21287 format saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder - a real advantage on heavy presses, gantries and fixture plates where every millimetre of envelope counts. Because the -S magnet is fitted, CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clamped straight onto the body for end-of-stroke signalling. At 0.5 MPa the 5890.5 N rating translates to roughly 600 kg of force, so keeping to about 3534 N (near 360 kg) leaves a sensible margin for friction and pressure drop; halved again for a 2:1 vertical margin, it lifts about 300 kg.

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 ACED125X175S Is Used
Heavy press and forming fixtures
With 5890.5 N at 0.5 MPa delivered identically on both strokes, the ACED125X175S drives stamping, riveting and marking heads on compact press frames where the short ISO 21287 body fits inside the guard.
Pallet and die handling gantries
The symmetric through-rod and about 300 kg vertical-lift equivalent (with a 2:1 margin) suit clamping or lowering heavy dies and pallet stops, with the rear rod carrying a CMSE switch flag for position confirmation.
Machine tool workholding
On CNC fixture plates, the 175 mm stroke clamps and releases large castings, and the equal-force double-rod design means the unclamp stroke pushes just as hard as the clamp stroke.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED125X175S the Right Cylinder?
At 125 mm bore this is the top of the ACED range: 5890.5 N at 0.5 MPa and 8246.7 N at 0.7 MPa, equal in both directions. If your load needs under 3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa, the ACED100 saves space and air; there is no larger ACED bore, so for more force step to a different cylinder family. The 175 mm stroke sits inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it ships as a standard build. The female M16x2.0 rod thread takes standard rod knuckles (I / Y), and FA flange, LB foot or FTC brackets bolt 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. The -S magnet on this model means CMSE / DMSE switches mount directly for position feedback.
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 ACED125X175S FAQ
Yes - because a rod exits both covers, both strokes work on the rod-side area of the 125 mm bore. Output is 5890.5 N at 0.5 MPa and 8246.7 N at 0.7 MPa, equal in both directions, 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, and a fixed TPU bumper sits at each end.
This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches clamp directly onto the magnet slots in the body - models ordered without -S have no magnet. Mounting uses the ISO 21287 face: FA/FB flanges, LB foot or FTC brackets, plus I and Y rod knuckles on the female M16x2.0 thread. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and air ports are 1/4".
