The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED25X80SB is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 80mm 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 ACED25X80SB has a piston rod leaving both covers, so the 25 mm bore delivers the same 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa (288.6 N at 0.7 MPa) on every stroke - the rod-side area works in both directions. The through-rod resists rotation and light side load, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clipped straight onto the body slots.
The short hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into tight jigs, guards and gantries. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock, and the S45C hard-chrome-plated 10 mm rod with male thread (the B code) suits standard rod knuckles. At 0.5 MPa the usable working force is roughly 124 N, which lifts about 10 kg vertically with a sensible margin.

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).

| 25 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×80 | 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 through-rod gives an identical 206.2 N push and pull at 0.5 MPa, so a pick-and-place slide on a small-parts assembly line accelerates the same in both directions at 30-500 mm/s.
With the -S magnet fitted, CMSE or DMSE switches confirm clamp-open and clamp-close on a machining fixture, and the male rod thread takes an I or Y knuckle for the clamp point.
About 124 N of practical working force at 0.5 MPa stakes terminals or presses bearings in electronics sub-assemblies where the short body must fit under a low gantry.
Size both ways: if 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa is more than the job needs, the ACED20X80SB gives 117.8 N in the same compact envelope; if the load is heavier, step up to the ACED32X80SB at 345.6 N. The 80 mm stroke sits well inside the 150 mm maximum standard stroke for bore 25, so it ships as a catalogue item. Ports are M5x0.8, and FA/FB flange, LB foot or FTC brackets bolt to the ISO 21287 face. 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.
Quick checklist
Because a rod exits both covers, force is equal in both directions: 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 288.6 N at 0.7 MPa on every stroke, peaking at 42.0 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, air filtered to 40 um, temperature -20 to +70 C.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits shallow fixtures, and FA/FB flange, LB foot or FTC brackets bolt to the standard face. This model carries the -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches mount in the body slots for end-of-stroke signalling. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy; the cylinder never holds position on its own if air is lost.
