Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED12X10SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED12X10SB is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø12mm bore and 10mm stroke, M5×0.8 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.

About the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED12X10SB
A double acting compact actuator built to ISO 21287, the ACED12X10SB pushes a 12 mm bore through a 10 mm stroke with a rod leaving both covers, so the force is identical on each stroke: 42.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 59.4 N at 0.7 MPa. The male rod thread from the B code bolts straight to your tooling. In practice, plan on roughly 25 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa, and for vertical duty the through-rod will lift about 2 kg with a comfortable 2:1 margin.
The short hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into tight sensor nests and micro-assembly heads. A 6 mm S45C hard-chrome rod resists rotation and side load, the back-end rod can carry a sensor flag, and fixed TPU bumpers absorb end-of-stroke shock. This unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE switches can be clipped onto the body for end-position detection.

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 (Ø12mm)
| Pressure | Force (both ways) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 42 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 59 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 9 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 ACED12X10SB Is Used
Micro-assembly part seating
The 42.4 N symmetric push seats small connectors or pins in electronics fixtures, with the 10 mm stroke fitting inside a compact head assembly.
End-position detection on test rigs
With the -S magnet fitted, CMSE or DMSE switches confirm full retraction and extension of a 10 mm check stroke on a semiconductor handling station.
Push-pull gate on a small conveyor
Equal force both directions makes the through-rod ideal for flicking small packages between lanes at 30-500 mm/s on a packaging line.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED12X10SB the Right Cylinder?
At 42.4 N per side, this 12 mm bore suits light clamping and part presence checks; step down is not available in this series, while the 16 mm bore gives 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa if you need more. Stroke 10 mm sits well inside the 50 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore. The male rod thread and PT ports keep plumbing simple, and since the -S magnet is fitted, CMSE / DMSE switches work out of the box. Note that with no air applied the piston drifts freely - add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put.
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 ACED12X10SB FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, force is equal in both directions: 42.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 59.4 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum of 8.6 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, port M5x0.8, rod 6 mm with male thread, stroke 10 mm.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits cramped fixtures. Fixed TPU bumpers absorb end-of-stroke shock at both ends. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount directly on the body slots.
