The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED125X200SB 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.
The ACED125X200SB is a double acting, double-rod ISO 21287 compact cylinder: a 25 mm rod exits both covers, so thrust is identical on every stroke - 5890.5 N at 0.5 MPa and 8246.7 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction, peaking at 1201.3 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Because the through-rod is symmetric, the piston resists rotation and side load, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag or drive a second fixture. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, running 30-500 mm/s over a 200 mm stroke.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with S45C hard-chrome-plated rod saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, letting this 125 mm bore slot into heavy press fixtures and gantries where a full-length body will not fit. At 0.5 MPa, plan on about 3534 N of real work (roughly 360 kg of vertical lift, halved to 180 kg for a 2:1 margin). The -S magnet is fitted on this model, so CMSE / DMSE switches mount directly in the body slots, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock.

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 5890.5 N symmetric thrust at 0.5 MPa suits aluminium die spotting and riveting heads where equal force is needed on both the approach and return stroke.
A rod on each cover lets the through-rod push a pallet lift from either side of a 200 mm stroke conveyor gantry, resisting the rotation a single rod would allow.
With the fitted -S magnet, CMSE or DMSE switches confirm full clamp and full retract on machining-centre fixtures running 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) air.
At 5890.5 N per direction at 0.5 MPa, this bore sits at the top of the ACED range - step down to ACED100 for 3769.9 N or up from ACED80 at 2356.2 N. The 200 mm stroke is within the 300 mm standard limit for bore 125, so no made-to-order build is needed. Note that with air lost the piston drifts freely; add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. FA/FB flanges, LB foot and FTC brackets plus I and Y rod knuckles bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face, and the male (B) rod thread suits externally clamped tooling.
Quick checklist
Output is equal in both directions because both strokes use the rod-side area: 5890.5 N at 0.5 MPa and 8246.7 N at 0.7 MPa each way, 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), and speed range 30-500 mm/s over the 200 mm stroke.
The ISO 21287 short body cuts about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so the 125 mm bore fits tight machine frames. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clipped into the body slots for end-of-stroke signalling. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, and FA/FB flange, LB foot or FTC mounts bolt directly to the standard face.
