About the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED20X10SB
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED20X10SB carries a 20 mm bore with a 10 mm stroke and a rod leaving BOTH covers. Because each side sees the rod-side area, output is equal in both directions: 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 164.9 N at 0.7 MPa. The male rod thread (B code) bolts straight to tooling, and the through-rod resists rotation so a fixture plate stays square.
The short ISO 21287 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 gauges. For sizing, plan on roughly 70 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa - about 7 kg of vertical load with margin - rather than the full rating. The hard-anodized aluminium body, S45C hard-chrome rod and fixed TPU bumpers at both ends handle 30-500 mm/s duty from -20 to +70 C. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE switches can be clipped on for end-of-stroke signals.

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 ACED20X10SB Is Used
Small gauge ejector
The 10 mm stroke and 117.8 N per side at 0.5 MPa eject finished pins from a checking gauge, while the rear rod drives a sensor flag for cycle counting.
Lab sample press
Male rod thread and equal force both ways let a benchtop sample press push and retract a light platen at identical 164.9 N at 0.7 MPa.
PCB transfer slide
A short-stroke slide shuttles circuit boards between two conveyor lanes inside a tight machine frame that a full-length profile cylinder cannot fit.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED20X10SB the Right Cylinder?
At 117.8 N per side at 0.5 MPa, this 20 mm bore suits light clamping and small part transfer. Step down to a 16 mm bore (75.4 N) for tiny slides, or up to 25 mm (206.2 N) when a heavier jig needs pushing. Stroke 10 mm is well inside the 100 mm standard limit for bore 20. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check where a load must stay put. FA/FB flanges, LB feet and I/Y knuckles mount on the ISO 21287 face, and PT ports take M5x0.8 fittings.
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 ACED20X10SB FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design exposes the rod-side area on both strokes, so output is equal each way: 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa, 164.9 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum of 24.0 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, speed 30-500 mm/s, and the bore 20 port is M5x0.8.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits shallow pockets and guarded stations. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE reed or DMSE solid-state switches mount in the body slots for end-of-stroke detection. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs stroke-end impact, and FA/FB flange or LB foot brackets bolt to the standard face.
