About the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED20X70B
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED20X70B has a 20 mm bore and 70 mm stroke with a piston rod leaving BOTH covers. Because each side works on the rod-side area, output is a matched 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 164.9 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction - no push/pull mismatch to compensate for. The male rod thread (B code) on both ends bolts straight to tooling, and the through-rod resists rotation and light side load while the free rear rod can carry a sensor flag.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs and guarding where a full-length body will not fit. A hard-anodized aluminium body with a hard-chrome plated S45C rod runs at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and 30-500 mm/s, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end. Plan on roughly 70 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa, which is about 6 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. Note: no magnet is fitted on this code - order the -S variant if you need CMSE / DMSE switch sensing.

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 ACED20X70B Is Used
Fixture clamping on CNC jigs
The symmetric 117.8 N clamp in both directions and male-threaded rod ends make ACED20X70B easy to fixture on milling jigs where a 70 mm stroke is enough to clear the part.
Pusher on small-parts conveyors
Equal force both ways suits reciprocating pushers that sort or divert bottles and cartons; the through-rod keeps the pusher plate square under light side load.
Sample lift in lab automation
With about 6 kg of vertical lift at a 2:1 margin, this cylinder raises microplate stacks and sample trays inside compact analyser frames where body length is critical.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED20X70B the Right Cylinder?
At 117.8 N per direction this 20 mm bore suits light clamping and transfer work; step down to the 16 mm bore (75.4 N at 0.5 MPa) for smaller loads or up to the 25 mm bore (206.2 N) when you need roughly 75% more force in the same compact family. The 70 mm stroke sits well inside the 100 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it ships as a catalogue item. Like any plain double-rod cylinder it will drift if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must stay put. FA/FB flanges, LB feet, FTC brackets and I/Y rod knuckles mount on the ISO 21287 face, and the male thread on both rod ends simplifies fixture attachment.
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 ACED20X70B FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, force is identical in each direction: 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. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and speed is 30-500 mm/s. For real work, budget roughly 70 N per direction at 0.5 MPa.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a fixed TPU bumper decelerating the piston at each end. This ACED20X70B code has no magnet fitted; order the -S version to enable CMSE or DMSE switches in the body slots. Mounting options include FA/FB flange, LB foot, FTC and I/Y rod knuckles.
