Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED16X70S
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED16X70S is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 70mm 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 ACED16X70S
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED16X70S pushes a piston rod out of BOTH covers, so the 16 mm bore delivers an identical 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa (105.6 N at 0.7 MPa) in each direction. The through-rod resists rotation and light side load, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag or a second tooling plate. Stroke is 70 mm, comfortably inside the 75 mm standard range for this bore.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome plated rod runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-500 mm/s, from -20 to +70 C. Its short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it suits tight jigs and guarding. Because the -S magnet is fitted, CMSE or DMSE switches can be clipped on for end-of-stroke signals, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs stop energy. As a rule of thumb, plan on roughly 45 N (about 4.6 kgf) of usable work at 0.5 MPa, or lift about 3.8 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

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 ACED16X70S Is Used
Small-parts ejection from jigs
The symmetric 75.4 N push and pull ejects machined bushings or plastic caps from a fixture in both directions, with the 70 mm stroke clearing a shallow pocket.
Position-verified gate on a lab bench
With the fitted -S magnet and a CMSE switch, a small enclosure or sample tray gate reports open and closed, moving at 30-500 mm/s inside a compact frame.
Dual-side pusher on an electronics conveyor
A rod at each cover lets one cylinder nudge PCB carriers from either side of a narrow conveyor, saving the mounting length a profile cylinder would need.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED16X70S the Right Cylinder?
At 75.4 N per direction this bore sits between the 12 mm ACED (42.4 N) and the 20 mm ACED (117.8 N) at 0.5 MPa, so step down for lighter pick-and-place or up for heavier clamping. The 70 mm stroke is a standard size for bore 16 (max 75 mm), so no made-to-order build is needed. Remember the piston will drift if air is lost - for a held load add a rod lock or pilot check valve. Mount with FA/FB flanges, LB feet or FTC brackets, add I or Y rod knuckles, and the fitted -S magnet lets CMSE / DMSE switches report position. Rod end is female M4x0.7; ports are M5x0.8 with PT thread.
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 ACED16X70S FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design exposes the rod-side area on both strokes, so force is equal each way: 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. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s. For sizing, treat about 45 N as the practical working force at 0.5 MPa.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits shallow guards and gantries. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount directly in the body slots; models ordered without the S code have no magnet. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, and FA/FB flange, LB foot or FTC brackets bolt to the standard face.
