The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED20X35SB is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 35mm 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.
A double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED20X35SB pushes and pulls with equal force because a 10 mm rod exits both covers and both strokes use the rod-side area. At 0.5 MPa it delivers 117.8 N in each direction, rising to 164.9 N at 0.7 MPa, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end. The male rod thread (B code) suits inline tooling, and the -S magnet is fitted so CMSE / DMSE switches can be mounted straight on the body slots.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight fixtures, guarding and gantries. In practice, plan on roughly 70 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, which is about 6 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin - enough for small parts, sensors flags or light clamping. Air supply should be filtered to 40 um, with 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) working pressure and 30-500 mm/s speed.

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.
| 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).

|---|---|
| 20 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×35 | Stroke length in mm. |
| S | Optional built-in magnet for CMSE / DMSE sensors (omit for no magnet). |
| B | Rod type: B = male thread; blank = female thread. |
ACE-family variants: ACE (double acting), ASE / ATE (single acting push / pull), ACED (double rod), ACEJ (adjustable stroke), TACE / TACED (non-rotating twin-guide yoke). Mounting accessories: FA / FB flange, LB foot, CA / CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, FTC; plus I and Y knuckles. Thread PT (blank) / G.
The 117.8 N both-ways output at 0.5 MPa suits pressing bearings or bushings into light aluminium housings on an assembly bench, with the male rod thread simplifying tool attachment.
With the -S magnet fitted, CMSE or DMSE switches confirm extend and retract on a 35 mm stroke, ideal for sorting small electronic components at 30-500 mm/s.
A rod on each cover lets one cylinder push a tray into a nest and pull it back with identical force - useful in lab automation and compact test rigs where space is short.
At 117.8 N per side at 0.5 MPa, the 20 mm bore sits between the 16 mm bore (75.4 N) and the 25 mm bore (206.2 N) - step up if your load needs more margin, step down for lighter duty. Remember a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets plus I/Y rod knuckles bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and this unit already carries the -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE sensing.
Quick checklist
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, output is equal in both directions: 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 164.9 N at 0.7 MPa, both using the rod-side area. Maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 24.0 kgf. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits tight jigs and guarding. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount in the body slots. Ends are decelerated by fixed TPU bumpers, and FA/FB flange, LB foot or FTC mounting bolts straight to the ISO 21287 face.
