The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED125X75S is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 75mm 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 ACED125X75S pushes a 125 mm bore through a 75 mm stroke with a piston rod leaving BOTH covers. Because each side of the piston sees the rod-side area, output is identical in either direction: 5890.5 N at 0.5 MPa and 8246.7 N at 0.7 MPa, equal push and pull. The through-rod resists rotation and side load, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag or a second tool. The S code means the optional -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount directly in the body slots.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which matters when a 125 mm bore has to fit inside a press frame or a guarded gantry. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a roller-burnished bore, the 25 mm S45C rod is hard-chrome plated, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. For sizing: at 0.5 MPa the usable work force is roughly 3534 N, and the vertical-lift equivalent is about 600 kg, or roughly 300 kg with a 2:1 margin. Speed range 30-500 mm/s; operating pressure 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).

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.
With 5890.5 N in both directions at 0.5 MPa, the double rod clamps or ejects in a stamping or forming die where the return stroke needs the same force as the advance, and the 75 mm stroke fits a shallow die set.
The vertical-lift equivalent of about 600 kg at 0.5 MPa (roughly 300 kg at a 2:1 margin) suits lifting heavy pallets or dies; the through-rod keeps the load plate from rotating, and a rod lock holds position on air loss.
In a foundry line, the symmetric double-rod mount and rear sensor rod let the -S magnet and DMSE switches flag both end positions, while the hard-anodized body and hard-chrome rod stand up to dusty, hot surroundings.
At 125 mm this is the top of the ACED range: 5890.5 N at 0.5 MPa both ways, against 3769.9 N for the 100 mm bore. If your load needs less than about 3534 N of real work force at 0.5 MPa, the 100 mm bore saves space and air; if you need the full 1201.3 kgf class at 1.0 MPa, stay at 125. The 75 mm stroke sits well inside the 300 mm max standard stroke for this bore, so it is a catalogue item, not a made-to-order build. Remember that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - for a held vertical load add a rod lock or pilot check valve. Mounting brackets (FA/FB flange, LB foot, FTC) and I/Y rod knuckles bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face; the female M16x2.0 rod thread takes standard rod accessories. PT port thread, 1/4" ports.
Quick checklist
Yes - this is a double-rod cylinder, so a rod exits both covers and both strokes use the rod-side area. Force is equal both ways: 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 pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the 1/4" ports take PT thread. The 75 mm stroke is within the 300 mm max standard stroke for the 125 mm bore.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so a 125 mm bore fits where a full-length cylinder cannot. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches click into the body slots for end-position sensing. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, and FA/FB flange, LB foot or FTC brackets plus I/Y rod knuckles bolt to the standard ISO 21287 mounting face. The rod end thread is female M16x2.0.
