Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED25X40B
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED25X40B is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 40mm 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 ACED25X40B
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACED25X40B pushes with identical force on each stroke because both sides work on the rod-side area: 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 288.6 N at 0.7 MPa. The 25 mm bore drives a 10 mm through-rod over a 40 mm stroke, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end and air supply of 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight fixtures and guarding. The through-rod resists rotation and lets the rear rod carry a sensor flag, while the male B-code rod thread suits external knuckle joints. For sizing: 0.6 of the 0.5 MPa force gives roughly 124 N of usable work, about 12.6 kg equivalent. If you need position sensing, order the -S variant - this model has no magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches cannot be fitted.

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 (Ø25mm)
| Pressure | Force (both ways) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 206 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 289 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 42 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 ACED25X40B Is Used
Symmetric push-pull transfer
The equal 206.2 N force in both directions lets a small electronics fixture eject and retract PCB trays at identical speed, with the 40 mm stroke matching shallow drawer slides.
Rotating clamp arm
The male B rod thread and rotation-resistant through-rod drive a pivot clamp on a machining fixture, holding about 12.6 kg of effective clamp load at 0.5 MPa.
Dual-end sensor flag carrier
On a bottling line gate, the rear rod carries a flag plate so a second switch position is available once the -S magnet variant is ordered instead of this non-magnetic model.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED25X40B the Right Cylinder?
At 206.2 N per side at 0.5 MPa, this bore suits clamping and transfer tasks up to roughly 12.6 kg of practical vertical load with a 2:1 margin. Step down to a 20 mm bore (117.8 N) for lighter pick-and-place, or up to 32 mm (345.6 N) when the part weight grows. Note that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check for held loads. Mounting brackets FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC plus I/Y rod knuckles bolt to the ISO 21287 face; the 40 mm stroke sits well inside the 150 mm standard range for this bore.
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 ACED25X40B FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, output is equal each way: 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 288.6 N at 0.7 MPa on both strokes, with a peak of 42.0 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s, pressure 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), and the M5x0.8 port is fixed by the 25 mm bore.
The ISO 21287 build is about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a hard-anodized aluminium body and fixed TPU bumpers at both stroke ends. Switches are not possible on this code: the magnet is the optional -S variant, so order ACED25X40SB if you need CMSE / DMSE sensing.
