Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED20X10B
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED20X10B 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 ACED20X10B
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED20X10B pushes a 10 mm through-rod out of BOTH covers, so thrust is identical in each direction: 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 164.9 N at 0.7 MPa. The male rod thread (B code) on both ends lets you bolt tooling to either side. The short hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into tight pick stations and small jigs.
For sizing, treat roughly 70 N (about 7 kgf) as the usable push at 0.5 MPa instead of the full rating, and remember the vertical-lift equivalent: this bore lifts about 6 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The S45C hard-chrome rod resists rotation and side load, a fixed TPU bumper takes the end-of-stroke hit at each end, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s. No magnet is fitted on this code; order the -S version if you later need CMSE / DMSE switch sensing.

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 ACED20X10B Is Used
Symmetric ejection in small jigs
The through-rod lets a 10 mm fixture plate ride the front rod while the rear rod carries a position flag, with 117.8 N available either way at 0.5 MPa.
Lab sample pusher
A 10 mm stroke and M5x0.8 ports suit compact analytical or packaging bench units that nudge vials between stations at 30-500 mm/s.
Bidirectional gate toggle
Equal force in both directions makes the ACED20X10B a clean fit for short-travel diverters on conveyor lanes where push and return loads match.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED20X10B the Right Cylinder?
At 117.8 N per direction this 20 mm bore sits between the 16 mm ACED (75.4 N) and the 25 mm ACED (206.2 N) at 0.5 MPa, so step down for light clamps or up when parts get heavier. The 10 mm stroke is well inside the 100 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore. Like any plain double-rod cylinder it will drift if air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check where a load must be held. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets plus I/Y rod knuckles bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face, and the male thread on both rod ends simplifies symmetric fixtures.
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 ACED20X10B FAQ
Yes. Because a rod exits both covers, both strokes use the rod-side area: 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 164.9 N at 0.7 MPa, equal push and pull. At 1.0 MPa the bore reaches a maximum of 24.0 kgf. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder, roughly 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a hard-anodized aluminium body and a fixed TPU bumper at each end. This code has no magnet, so no switch can be fitted; order the -S variant to enable CMSE / DMSE sensors. FA/FB flanges, LB foot and FTC brackets plus I/Y knuckles mount directly, and both rod ends carry a male thread.
