Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED20X10
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED20X10 is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 10mm 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 ACED20X10
The ACED20X10 is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to the ISO 21287 short-body format. A 10 mm rod exits both covers, so the 20 mm bore delivers an identical 117.8 N in each direction at 0.5 MPa (164.9 N at 0.7 MPa), because both strokes work on the rod-side area. The through-rod resists rotation and light side load, and the rear rod end gives you a free surface for a sensor flag or a symmetric fixture mount.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with a hard-chrome plated S45C rod keeps the envelope short: it saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into tight pick-and-place heads and small test rigs. At 0.5 MPa, plan on roughly 70 N of real work (0.6 of the rating), which is about 7 kg lifted vertically with a 2:1 margin. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock, and the optional -S magnet code enables CMSE / DMSE switches.

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 (Ø20mm)
| Pressure | Force (both ways) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 118 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 165 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 24 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 ACED20X10 Is Used
Small-parts ejection on assembly stations
The short 10 mm stroke and 117.8 N push at 0.5 MPa are enough to kick a finished connector or cap off a nest, and the compact body fits where a full-length profile cylinder cannot.
Symmetric push-pull in test fixtures
With a rod on both covers, the same 164.9 N at 0.7 MPa is available on the advance and return stroke, ideal for a go/no-go gauge that must press and retract with equal force.
Position-flagged slides on packaging heads
Order the -S magnet and fit CMSE or DMSE switches on the body slots to confirm end positions of a heat-seal or label-head slide cycling at 30-500 mm/s.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED20X10 the Right Cylinder?
At 117.8 N per direction at 0.5 MPa, this 20 mm bore sits between the 16 mm ACED (75.4 N) and the 25 mm ACED (206.2 N). Step down if your clamp or lift needs under 75 N; step up to 25 mm if you need over 120 N. The 10 mm stroke is well inside the 100 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it ships as a standard build. Note that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - for a held load, add a rod lock or pilot check valve. Mounting brackets (FA/FB flange, LB foot, FTC) and I/Y rod knuckles bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face; order the -S code only if you need the magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches.
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 ACED20X10 FAQ
Yes - because a 10 mm rod exits both covers, both strokes use the rod-side area of the 20 mm bore. Output is 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 164.9 N at 0.7 MPa in each direction, with a maximum of 24.0 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the air must be filtered to 40 um.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits tight gantries and guards. FA/FB flanges, LB foot and FTC brackets plus I/Y rod knuckles bolt to the standard face. Position sensing requires the optional -S magnet code - without it no magnet is fitted and no CMSE / DMSE switch will trigger. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy.
