Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED20X30SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED20X30SB 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. 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 ACED20X30SB
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACED20X30SB delivers 117.8 N in either direction at 0.5 MPa (164.9 N at 0.7 MPa) because both strokes work on the rod-side area. The 20 mm bore drives a 10 mm through-rod over a 30 mm stroke, with a male rod thread (B code) and the optional -S magnet already fitted, so CMSE / DMSE switches can be clipped on for end-of-stroke sensing.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it suits tight jigs, guarding and small gantries. A hard-anodized aluminium body carries an S45C hard-chrome-plated rod, and fixed TPU bumpers at each end absorb stroke-end shock. As a rule of thumb, plan on roughly 70 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa, which corresponds to lifting 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 ACED20X30SB Is Used
Pick-and-place on compact jigs
The symmetric through-rod and 30 mm stroke suit small fixture ejection or part-present stations where 117.8 N per direction is enough and mounting space is short.
Position-verified test stations
With the -S magnet fitted, CMSE or DMSE switches confirm rod position on a benchtop leak or assembly check running at 30-500 mm/s.
Bidirectional pusher on conveyor lanes
Equal force both ways makes the double-rod layout ideal for diverting small cartons or trays left or right on a packaging lane without a bias direction.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED20X30SB the Right Cylinder?
At 117.8 N per direction, this 20 mm bore sits between the 16 mm ACED (75.4 N at 0.5 MPa) and the 25 mm ACED (206.2 N at 0.5 MPa); step up if your tooling mass approaches the 6 kg vertical-lift equivalent. The through-rod resists rotation and lets the rear rod carry a sensor flag. Remember that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check for a held load. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the fitted -S magnet pairs with 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 ACED20X30SB 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 about 24 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and speed is 30-500 mm/s.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and fixed TPU bumpers at both ends absorb end-of-stroke energy. This version carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount directly in the body slots; FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets attach to the standard face.
