About the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED25X50
The ACED25X50 is a double acting AirTAC compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, with a piston rod leaving BOTH covers so the 25 mm bore pushes and pulls with equal force: 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 288.6 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction. The through-rod resists rotation and side load, and the free back-end rod can carry a sensor flag or a second tooling plate. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed runs 30-500 mm/s, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with S45C hard-chrome plated rod saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs, guarding and gantries. At 0.5 MPa the rod-side thrust of 206.2 N is equivalent to about 21 kg, so plan on lifting roughly 10 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets plus I/Y rod knuckles bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face, and the optional -S magnet code enables CMSE / DMSE switches (no magnet is fitted without it).

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 ACED25X50 Is Used
Pick-and-place on compact assembly cells
The through-rod gives a symmetric mount for gripper plates on small electronics assembly cells, where the short ISO 21287 body fits inside tight guarding and the 206.2 N thrust handles 10 kg payloads with margin.
Reciprocating test fixtures
Equal force in both directions makes the ACED25X50 ideal for cycling a lab test head up and down at 30-500 mm/s, with the back-end rod driving a position flag for CMSE / DMSE switches when the -S magnet is ordered.
Push-off on packaging machines
At 288.6 N per direction the cylinder ejects cartons or trays from a conveyor lane, and the fixed TPU bumpers quiet the end-of-stroke impact in high-cycle packaging duty.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED25X50 the Right Cylinder?
For this 25 mm bore, the smaller ACED20X50 delivers 117.8 N at 0.5 MPa and the larger ACED32X50 reaches 345.6 N, so pick 25 mm when your load sits between roughly 12 kg and 21 kg equivalent. The 50 mm stroke is well inside the 150 mm standard range for bore 25, so no made-to-order build is needed. Remember that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put. Order the -S code if you need CMSE / DMSE position sensing, and choose the B suffix for a male M6x1.25-style rod thread instead of the standard female M6x1.0.
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 ACED25X50 FAQ
Yes - because a rod exits both covers, both strokes use the rod-side area, so force is equal either way: 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 288.6 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum of 42.0 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C, and the port is M5x0.8 on this 25 mm bore.
The hard-anodized aluminium ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. Position sensing is available only with the optional -S magnet code, which lets CMSE / DMSE switches read along the body slots; without -S no magnet is fitted. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets plus I/Y rod knuckles mount directly to the standard face.
