The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED125X90SB is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 90mm 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 double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED125X90SB pushes a 125 mm bore through a 90 mm stroke with a 25 mm rod leaving BOTH covers. Because both strokes work on the rod-side area, output is identical in each direction: 5890.5 N at 0.5 MPa and 8246.7 N at 0.7 MPa, peaking at 1201.3 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The male rod thread (B code) bolts straight to tooling, and the through-rod resists rotation while the rear rod can carry a sensor flag.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-500 mm/s, from -20 to +70 C. Its short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into heavy presses and gantries where a full-length body will not fit. A fixed TPU bumper sits at each end of travel. Plan on roughly 3534 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 300 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

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).

| 125 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×90 | Stroke length in mm. |
| S | Optional built-in magnet for CMSE / DMSE sensors (omit for no magnet). |
| B | Rod type: B = male thread; blank = female thread. |
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 equal 5890.5 N force in both directions lets one ACED125X90SB press a steel bracket home on the forward stroke and eject the finished part on the return, inside a 90 mm die window.
In a warehouse strapping machine, the through-rod keeps the tension arm from rotating under load while the male thread carries the pivot link directly.
A foundry uses the 300 kg vertical-lift equivalent to seat heavy mould halves, with CMSE switches on the fitted magnet confirming full closure each cycle.
At 5890.5 N per direction at 0.5 MPa, this is the top of the ACED range; step down to the ACED100X90SB (3769.9 N) for lighter clamping or stay here for stamping and heavy lift fixtures. Stroke 90 mm sits well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for bore 125. The fitted -S magnet accepts CMSE / DMSE switches for end-of-stroke detection, and remember the piston will drift if air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check where a load must stay put. FA/FB flanges, LB feet and FTC brackets mount on the ISO 21287 face.
Quick checklist
Yes. As a double-rod cylinder, both strokes use the rod-side area, so output is equal either way: 5890.5 N at 0.5 MPa, 8246.7 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum of 1201.3 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, speed 30-500 mm/s, on air filtered to 40 um.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder whose short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a hard-anodized aluminium body, S45C hard-chrome rod and a fixed TPU bumper at each end. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches can be fitted for position detection. FA/FB flanges, LB feet and FTC brackets bolt to the standard face; the 1/4" port and male rod thread are ready for tooling.
