The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED25X70B is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 70mm 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 compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED25X70B pushes a 25 mm bore through a 70 mm stroke with a piston rod leaving BOTH covers. Because each side of the piston sees the rod-side area, output is identical in either direction: 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 288.6 N at 0.7 MPa. The male rod thread (B code) bolts straight to your tooling, and the through-rod resists rotation and side load while the free back-end rod can carry a sensor flag or a second fixture.
The short ISO 21287 body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into cramped jigs and guarding where a full-length body cannot. A hard-anodized aluminium barrel with an S45C hard-chrome plated rod runs at 30-500 mm/s on air filtered to 40 um, with fixed TPU bumpers at both ends. For positioning, plan on about 124 N of real work at 0.5 MPa (roughly 12.6 kg vertical with a 2:1 margin) rather than the full rating.

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 | 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).
| ACED | ISO 21287 compact cylinder (double-rod). |
|---|---|
| 25 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×70 | 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 equal 206.2 N output in both directions lets one ACED25X70B clamp and release a machined aluminium bracket with identical force, no spring or return sizing needed.
A through-rod driving a leak-test slide on both strokes keeps the carriage guided and rotation-free at 30-500 mm/s inside a compact test station.
With about 12.6 kg of vertical lift capacity at a 2:1 margin, the 70 mm stroke presses dowel pins into plastic housings on an electronics assembly bench.
At 206.2 N per direction this 25 mm bore sits between the 20 mm size (117.8 N at 0.5 MPa) and the 32 mm size (345.6 N at 0.5 MPa); step up if your tooling mass approaches the 12.6 kg vertical-lift equivalent. The 70 mm stroke is well inside the 150 mm standard range for bore 25, so no made-to-order length is needed. Mount with FA/FB flange, LB foot or FTC brackets plus I/Y rod knuckles on the ISO 21287 face. Remember: without the -S code there is no magnet, so add -S if you want CMSE / DMSE switch position feedback.
Quick checklist
Yes - the double-rod design means a rod exits both covers, so every stroke uses the rod-side area. Output is 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 288.6 N at 0.7 MPa, equal push and pull, with a maximum of 42.0 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
The B code gives a male M6x1.0 rod thread; omit B for female. The port is M5x0.8 (fixed by the 25 mm bore) with PT body threads. The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and fixed TPU bumpers decelerate the piston at each end. The magnet is the optional -S code - order ACED25X70BS if you need CMSE / DMSE switches, otherwise no magnet is fitted. A lost air supply lets the piston drift, so use a rod lock or pilot check to hold a load.
