Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED16X5B
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED16X5B is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 5mm 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 ACED16X5B
This double acting ACED16X5B is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, so the 16 mm bore delivers the same 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa (105.6 N at 0.7 MPa) on every stroke. The 5 mm stroke suits tiny indexing moves, and the through-rod resists rotation while the rear rod end can carry a flag or a second tool. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into slim fixtures and guard pockets.
The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a hard-chrome plated S45C rod, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof, speed range 30-500 mm/s, and the M5x0.8 port matches this bore. Plan on roughly 45 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 3 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The B code gives a male rod thread; the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches and is not fitted on this code.

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 ACED16X5B Is Used
Micro press ejection
The short 5 mm stroke and 75.4 N per side eject small stamped parts from a watch-component die where a full-length body cannot fit.
Sensor flag driver
The rear rod of the through-rod carries a flag past a switch on a compact PCB test fixture, once the optional -S magnet is ordered.
Symmetric push-pull gate
Equal force in both directions seats a small optical lens carrier into a jig and retracts it with identical 75.4 N thrust.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED16X5B the Right Cylinder?
At 75.4 N per side at 0.5 MPa, the 16 mm bore sits between the 12 mm (42.4 N) and 20 mm (117.8 N) options; step up to 20 mm if your fixture needs the extra push. Remember this cylinder drifts if air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check for a held load. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and order the -S code if CMSE / DMSE sensing is needed.
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 ACED16X5B FAQ
The double-rod design gives equal force both ways from the rod-side area: 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 105.6 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum of 15.4 kgf at 1.0 MPa for this 16 mm bore.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder, about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a hard-anodized aluminium body, S45C hard-chrome rod, fixed TPU bumpers and an M5x0.8 port. Sensing needs the optional -S magnet code, which allows CMSE / DMSE switches; this B-code unit has no magnet fitted.
