Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED40X10
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED40X10 is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 10mm stroke, 1/8" 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 ACED40X10
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACED40X10 delivers 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa in either direction, because both strokes work on the rod-side area of the 40 mm bore. The 10 mm stroke suits short indexing moves where every millimetre of envelope counts: 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 guarded stations a full-length body cannot reach.
The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag on pick-and-place heads. A hard-anodized aluminium body pairs with an S45C hard-chrome-plated rod, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock. At 0.5 MPa plan on roughly 343 N of usable work, which lifts about 17 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s over 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi). No magnet is fitted; order the -S code if you need CMSE / DMSE switching.

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 (Ø40mm)
| Pressure | Force (both ways) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 572 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 800 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 117 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 ACED40X10 Is Used
Fixture clamping on CNC pallets
The 571.8 N clamping force at 0.5 MPa holds steel workpieces in a machining fixture, and the 10 mm stroke keeps the clamp arm inside a tight pallet envelope.
Short-stroke reject pusher
A packaging line uses the equal 800.5 N at 0.7 MPa in both directions to kick off-spec cartons sideways, with the through-rod keeping the pusher plate square at 30-500 mm/s.
Lab press for sample prep
About 343 N of usable force presses sample cups in a QC lab station, and the rear rod carries a flag for a DMSE switch when the -S magnet is ordered.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED40X10 the Right Cylinder?
At 40 mm bore this model sits mid-range: the 32 mm bore gives 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa if your load is lighter, while the 50 mm bore reaches 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa for heavier clamping. Both directions push equally on this double-rod design, so size on the rod-side figure. Remember the piston drifts 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 bolt to the ISO 21287 face; the 1/8" port and M8x1.25 female rod thread are standard, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches.
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 ACED40X10 FAQ
Yes - a rod exits both covers, so both strokes use the rod-side area. Output is 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 800.5 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction, with a maximum of 116.6 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so the 10 mm stroke fits shallow stations. A fixed TPU bumper at each end decelerates the piston at the ends of travel. Mounting uses FA/FB flanges, LB feet, FTC brackets and I/Y knuckles on the standard face, and the optional -S magnet allows CMSE / DMSE switches - without that code no sensor can be fitted.
