Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED16X5SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED16X5SB 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 ACED16X5SB
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED16X5SB pushes a rod out of BOTH covers, so its 16 mm bore delivers an identical 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa (105.6 N at 0.7 MPa) on every stroke - no push/pull imbalance to design around. The 5 mm stroke suits micro-pressing, ejecting and part-presenting moves where travel is minimal but symmetry matters. The male rod thread (B code) on each 8 mm rod accepts standard knuckles directly.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome-plated rod runs at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-500 mm/s and -20 to +70 C, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE switches can be clipped onto the body slot for end-of-stroke detection. Because the body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, it slots into tight fixtures and guarding. As a rule of thumb, treat roughly 45 N (about 4.5 kgf) as the usable working force at 0.5 MPa rather than the full rating.

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 ACED16X5SB Is Used
Micro press stamping of connector terminals
The symmetric 75.4 N thrust at 0.5 MPa presses small terminals or crimps evenly from either side, and the 5 mm stroke is enough for shallow forming in electronics assembly.
Part ejection from small plastic molds
A rod on both covers lets the back rod drive a stripper plate while the front rod ejects, keeping forces balanced at 105.6 N per side at 0.7 MPa.
Position-flagged indexing on test fixtures
With the -S magnet fitted, CMSE or DMSE switches read end positions on the 5 mm stroke, and the rear rod can carry a mechanical flag for vision checks.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED16X5SB the Right Cylinder?
At 75.4 N per direction, this 16 mm bore sits between the 12 mm ACED (42.4 N) and the 20 mm ACED (117.8 N) at 0.5 MPa - step up if your tooling needs more than about 45 N of working force, step down for lighter ejection tasks. The 5 mm stroke is well inside the 75 mm standard range for bore 16. Remember that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost; add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put. PT ports, male rod threads and FA/FB flange or LB foot mounts bolt straight onto 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 ACED16X5SB FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, force is equal both ways: 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 105.6 N at 0.7 MPa per direction, with a peak of 15.4 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, and the 16 mm bore takes M5x0.8 ports with 8 mm rods on male threads.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits shallow jigs and guarded cells. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount in the body slot; a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock.
