The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED16X75S is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 75mm 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.
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACED16X75S delivers 75.4 N in each direction at 0.5 MPa because both strokes work on the rod-side area. The 16 mm bore runs on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) of filtered air at 30-500 mm/s, and the through-rod resists rotation while the rear rod can carry a sensor flag.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod keeps the ISO 21287 footprint short, saving roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which matters in slim fixtures and guarding. Fixed TPU bumpers sit at both ends, and the fitted -S magnet lets CMSE or DMSE switches report position. For sizing: 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa supports about 45 N of real work, or lifts roughly 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.
| 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).
| ACED | ISO 21287 compact cylinder (double-rod). |
|---|---|
| 16 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×75 | Stroke length in mm. |
| S | Optional built-in magnet for CMSE / DMSE sensors (omit for no magnet). |
| B | Rod type: B = male thread; blank = female thread. |
ACE-family variants: ACE (double acting), ASE / ATE (single acting push / pull), ACED (double rod), ACEJ (adjustable stroke), TACE / TACED (non-rotating twin-guide yoke). Mounting accessories: FA / FB flange, LB foot, CA / CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, FTC; plus I and Y knuckles. Thread PT (blank) / G.
The fitted -S magnet and CMSE/DMSE switches confirm clamp state on electronics assembly fixtures, while the 75.4 N symmetric force grips PCB carriers evenly from either side.
A rod on each cover gives a symmetric mount for light slide gates on packaging lines; the through-rod resists rotation at speeds from 30 to 500 mm/s.
The short ISO 21287 body tucks under gantry plates where a full-length profile cylinder will not fit, lifting parts of about 3.8 kg with a 2:1 vertical margin.
At 75.4 N per side (0.5 MPa) this bore sits between the 12 mm ACED (42.4 N) and the 20 mm ACED (117.8 N); step up if your clamp or lift needs more than about 45 N of usable force. The 75 mm stroke is the maximum standard stroke for bore 16, so no made-to-order build is required. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets, plus I/Y rod knuckles, bolt to the ISO 21287 face. A plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put.
Quick checklist
Output is equal both ways because the double rod exposes the rod-side area on each stroke: 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa, 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 pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C, air filtered to 40 um.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a hard-anodized aluminium body, S45C hard-chrome plated rod, threaded covers and fixed TPU bumpers at both ends; the body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. The -S magnet is already fitted on this model, so CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be mounted directly in the body slots. Rod end is a female M4x0.7 thread and the port is M5x0.8.
