Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED20X15SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED20X15SB is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 15mm 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 ACED20X15SB
A double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED20X15SB pushes a 10 mm hard-chrome rod out of BOTH covers, so output force 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) bolts straight to tooling, and the fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock. Its short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into tight jigs and guarding where a full-length body will not fit.
In practical terms the through-rod resists rotation and light side load, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. Because this model carries the optional -S magnet, CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches mount directly in the body slots. For sizing, treat roughly 70 N as the usable working force at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 6 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The hard-anodized aluminium body with S45C rod runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-500 mm/s, from -20 to +70 C.

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 ACED20X15SB Is Used
Fixture clamping on CNC jigs
The 15 mm stroke and male rod thread make the ACED20X15SB a direct clamp for small machined brackets, delivering 117.8 N on both the clamp and release stroke.
Position-flagged test stations
With the -S magnet fitted, CMSE/DMSE switches confirm end positions, while the rear rod carries a flag for leak-test or vision checks on electronics assemblies.
Push-pull sorting gates
Equal 164.9 N force at 0.7 MPa in both directions lets one cylinder divert small packages or trays without needing a return spring or second actuator.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED20X15SB the Right Cylinder?
At 117.8 N per side 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), so step up if your tooling mass approaches 10 kg. The 15 mm stroke is well inside the 100 mm standard range for bore 20. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check for held loads. Foot (LB), flange (FA/FB) and FTC brackets plus I/Y knuckles bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the fitted -S magnet accepts 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 ACED20X15SB FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, force is equal in both directions: 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 164.9 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum of 24.0 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Both strokes use the rod-side area, so there is no push/pull difference.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke impact. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be slid into the body slots.
