Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED20X30S
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED20X30S is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 30mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body.

About the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED20X30S
Double acting with a rod leaving both covers, the ACED20X30S is an AirTAC ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a 20 mm bore and 30 mm stroke. Because each side sees the rod-side area, output is 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 164.9 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction - no push/pull imbalance. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a roller-burnished bore, an S45C hard-chrome-plated 10 mm rod, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end that absorbs end-of-stroke shock.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight fixtures, guards and pick stations. This -S model carries the optional magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clamped into the body slots for end-of-stroke signalling. As a rule of thumb, plan on roughly 70 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa (about 0.6 of the rating), which lifts about 6 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s over 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).

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 ACED20X30S Is Used
Small-parts ejection on assembly fixtures
The 117.8 N both-ways thrust at 0.5 MPa pushes finished bushings off a locating pin and retracts with identical force, while the 30 mm stroke matches shallow die pockets.
Position-verified test stations
With the -S magnet fitted, CMSE or DMSE switches confirm the 30 mm press stroke on PCB connector test rigs, cycling at up to 500 mm/s.
Symmetric push-pull gating
A conveyor diverter gets equal 164.9 N at 0.7 MPa on both strokes from the double rod, so the gate moves with the same authority in each direction.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED20X30S the Right Cylinder?
For a 30 mm stroke at this force class, the 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa suits small clamping and transfer heads; drop to the 16 mm bore (75.4 N) for lighter loads or step up to the 25 mm bore (206.2 N) for heavier ones. The through-rod resists rotation and side load and lets the rear rod carry a sensor flag. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check where a load must stay held. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets plus I/Y rod knuckles bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face; PT ports, female M6x1.0 rod thread.
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 ACED20X30S FAQ
Output is equal both ways because a rod exits each cover and both strokes use the rod-side area: 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 a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, running on air filtered to 40 um at 30-500 mm/s.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbing end-of-stroke shock. This -S model carries the optional magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches mount in the body slots; FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets bolt to the standard ISO 21287 face.
