The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED16X75SB 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.
The ACED16X75SB is a double acting compact cylinder built to the ISO 21287 short-body format, with a piston rod leaving BOTH covers so the through-rod delivers 75.4 N in each direction at 0.5 MPa (105.6 N at 0.7 MPa) - identical push and pull, since both strokes work on the rod-side area. The male rod thread (B code) bolts straight to your tooling, and the 75 mm stroke sits at the maximum standard stroke for a 16 mm bore, so no made-to-order surcharge applies.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome-plated 8 mm rod runs at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and 30-500 mm/s, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbing end-of-stroke shock. Because the body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, it slots into tight fixtures where a full-length body cannot. In practical terms the through-rod lifts about 4 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin (7.7 kgf raw at 0.5 MPa), and planning around 45 N of real work keeps the actuator comfortably inside its rating. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE switches can be clipped onto the body for end-of-stroke signalling.

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).

|---|---|
| 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 symmetric through-rod clamps small aluminium brackets from either side of a machining jig, with the male rod thread taking a custom clamp pad and the 75.4 N output matching light-duty holding.
A back-end rod carries a sensor flag while the front rod nudges PCB trays off a conveyor at 30-500 mm/s; CMSE switches on the -S magnet confirm each completed stroke.
The short ISO 21287 body fits inside a compact sample-transfer gantry, lifting vials of about 4 kg equivalent vertical load with a 2:1 margin, and the through-rod resists rotation on the pick head.
For this force class, 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa suits light clamping, sorting and small-part transfer. Step down to ACED12 (42.4 N) if space and load allow, or up to ACED20 (117.8 N) if you need more headroom. Note that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. The 75 mm stroke is the maximum standard for bore 16; longer strokes are made to order. Mounting brackets (FA/FB flange, LB foot, FTC) plus I and Y rod knuckles bolt directly to the ISO 21287 face.
Quick checklist
Yes - this is a double-rod cylinder, so a rod exits both covers and every stroke uses the rod-side area. Force is 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 105.6 N at 0.7 MPa, equal push and pull, 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, air filtered to 40 um.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a hard-anodized aluminium body, S45C hard-chrome-plated 8 mm rod, threaded aluminium covers and a fixed TPU bumper at each end - the short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. 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.
