Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED16X50SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED16X50SB 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 ACED16X50SB
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACED16X50SB delivers 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa in each direction because both strokes work on the rod-side area. The 16 mm bore carries an 8 mm through-rod with a male thread on each end, and the 50 mm stroke sits well inside the 75 mm standard range for this bore. Its ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight slides and fixtures.
The hard-anodized aluminium body pairs with an S45C hard-chrome plated rod, and a fixed TPU bumper at each cover absorbs end-of-stroke energy. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE switches can be clipped onto the body slots for end-position sensing. As a working figure, plan on roughly 45 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, which is about 3.8 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at speeds of 30-500 mm/s.

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 ACED16X50SB Is Used
Small-parts ejection
The equal 75.4 N push and pull on both rod ends ejects finished bushings from a light fixture and retracts the tool with the same force, no direction derating needed.
Gated indexing slide
With the -S magnet fitted, CMSE switches read both end positions on a 50 mm indexing slide inside a compact assembly head where body length is critical.
Lab dosing press
A male-threaded rod on each cover mounts a dosing pad and a return flag, pressing sample vials with about 45 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED16X50SB the Right Cylinder?
At 75.4 N per side, this bore suits light clamping and small part transfer; step down to the 12 mm bore (42.4 N) for tighter loads or up to the 20 mm bore (117.8 N) when more force is needed. The through-rod resists rotation and lets the rear rod carry a sensor flag or a symmetric tool. Note that the piston drifts if air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check where a load must be held. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face.
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 ACED16X50SB FAQ
Yes. Because a rod exits both covers, both strokes use the rod-side area: 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 105.6 N at 0.7 MPa in each direction. Peak output is 15.4 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and speed runs 30-500 mm/s.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder whose hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end. This model includes the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE switches can be mounted in the body slots; the 8 mm male-threaded rod suits I or Y knuckles.
