The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED125X200S is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 200mm 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.
A heavy-duty double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED125X200S pushes a 125 mm bore through a 200 mm stroke with a rod leaving both covers. Because each side works on the rod-side area, output is identical in both directions: 5890.5 N at 0.5 MPa and 8246.7 N at 0.7 MPa. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries magnet slots along its full length, and the -S code on this model means the magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE switches can be clipped on anywhere along the travel.
The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mounting face at each end, which suits heavy clamping bridges and synchronized tooling. Its short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into presses and gantries where a full-length body will not fit. As a sizing guide, the 5890.5 N rating at 0.5 MPa translates to roughly 600 kg of vertical lift, or about 300 kg with a 2:1 margin. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock, and the S45C hard-chrome plated 25 mm rod stands up to continuous duty.

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).

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.
The through-rod clamps a car-body panel fixture from both sides with equal 5890.5 N force, and the short body fits inside the fixture frame where a full-length profile cylinder would collide with the tooling.
With about 600 kg of vertical lift equivalent at 0.5 MPa, the double rod ejects stamped steel brackets from a die on both strokes, while the back-end rod carries a sensor flag for position feedback via CMSE switches.
In a packaging line the symmetric rod mount guides a press plate down onto stacked cartons with 8246.7 N at 0.7 MPa, and the fixed TPU bumpers soften the bottom-of-stroke impact at 30-500 mm/s.
At this force class you are near the top of the ACE range. If 5890.5 N at 0.5 MPa is more than the job needs, the ACED100X200 delivers 3769.9 N from a 100 mm bore; if you need more, the 125 mm bore is the largest standard option. Stroke 200 mm sits inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so no made-to-order build is required. Plan on roughly 3534 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa rather than the full rating, and remember the piston will drift if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check where a load must be held. FA/FB flanges, LB feet and FTC brackets bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face, and the female M16x2.0 rod thread accepts standard knuckles.
Quick checklist
Yes - the double-rod design puts a rod through both covers, so both strokes use the rod-side area and force is equal either way: 5890.5 N at 0.5 MPa and 8246.7 N at 0.7 MPa, peaking at about 1201.3 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, air filtered to 40 um, speed 30-500 mm/s, and temperature -20 to +70 C.
The S means the optional -S magnet is fitted on this unit, so AirTAC CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be mounted in the slots along the hard-anodized aluminium body; models without the S code carry no magnet. The ISO 21287 compact body is about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, the 25 mm S45C rod is hard-chrome plated, and fixed TPU bumpers at both ends absorb end-of-stroke energy.
