Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED16X50S
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED16X50S is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 50mm 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 ACED16X50S
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED16X50S pushes a 16 mm bore through a 50 mm stroke with a rod leaving BOTH covers. Because each side sees the rod-side area, output is 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 105.6 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction - no push/pull imbalance. The through-rod resists rotation and light side load, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag on pick-and-place heads.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight fixtures. This S-code unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE switches read position along the body slots. Fixed TPU bumpers at both ends absorb stroke-end shock, and at 0.5 MPa the usable vertical lift works out to about 3.8 kg with a 2:1 margin (7.7 kgf raw, halved).

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 (Ø16mm)
| Pressure | Force (both ways) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 75 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 106 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 15 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 ACED16X50S Is Used
Small-parts ejection from press dies
The symmetric 75.4 N push and pull clears finished bushings or shims from a die on both strokes, and the 50 mm stroke fits shallow die sets.
Pusher on electronics conveyor lines
Equal force both ways nudges PCB trays or connector boxes off a belt, while CMSE switches on the fitted magnet confirm extend and retract.
Lab sample handling gantries
The short body, about half the length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, fits under bench-top enclosures, and the rear rod drives a sensor flag for z-axis indexing.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED16X50S the Right Cylinder?
At 75.4 N per direction (0.5 MPa), this bore suits light clamping and small-part transfer. Step down to a 12 mm bore (42.4 N) for lighter tooling, or up to 20 mm (117.8 N) if the load grows. Stroke 50 mm sits well inside the 75 mm standard limit for bore 16. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check for a held load. Female M4x0.7 rod thread, M5x0.8 ports, PT supply thread; FA/FB flange, LB foot or FTC brackets bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and I/Y knuckles suit the 8 mm rod.
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 ACED16X50S FAQ
Being double-rod, force is identical in both directions: 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 105.6 N at 0.7 MPa on each stroke (rod-side area both sides). Maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 15.4 kgf. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s.
The ISO 21287 body is about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with fixed TPU bumpers at both stroke ends. The S in ACED16X50S means the optional -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clipped into the body slots; without -S no magnet is installed.
