Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED40X10B
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED40X10B 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 ACED40X10B
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED40X10B pushes a 40 mm piston over a short 10 mm stroke with a rod leaving BOTH covers. Because each side sees the rod-side area, output is identical in either direction: 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 800.5 N at 0.7 MPa. The through-rod resists rotation and light side load, and the rear rod stub gives you a free spot for a sensor flag or a symmetric second mount.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome plated rod shrugs off wear, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock. In practical terms, plan on roughly 343 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 29 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight clamping stations a full-length body cannot. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C.

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 ACED40X10B Is Used
Short-stroke press fit
The 10 mm stroke and 571.8 N of force in both directions suit pressing bearings or bushings into small housings on an electronics assembly bench, where the through-rod keeps the tooling square.
Jig clamping on CNC fixtures
A machining cell clamping aluminium brackets per cycle benefits from the compact body - about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder - fitting inside guarded fixture plates with little clearance.
Reciprocating guide on a packaging line
With a rod at each cover, the back rod can carry a cam follower or flag while the front pushes cartons at 30-500 mm/s, giving balanced guiding on a narrow conveyor station.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED40X10B the Right Cylinder?
At 571.8 N per direction, this bore sits between the 32 mm size (345.6 N at 0.5 MPa) and the 50 mm size (881.2 N at 0.5 MPa), so pick it when a 32 mm runs out of force but a 50 mm is oversized. The 10 mm stroke suits short clamp-and-release moves; anything up to 200 mm is standard for bore 40. If the load must stay put when air is lost, add a rod lock or pilot check - this cylinder drifts on its own. Mount with FA/FB flange, LB foot or FTC brackets, and note the B code means a male rod thread; order the -S version instead if you later need CMSE / DMSE switches, since this unit has no magnet fitted.
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 ACED40X10B FAQ
It is a double-rod, double acting cylinder, so force is EQUAL both ways because both strokes use the rod-side area: 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 800.5 N at 0.7 MPa, 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 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a hard-anodized aluminium body, S45C hard-chrome rod, 1/8" port and a fixed TPU bumper at each end; the short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. This version has the B male rod thread and no magnet. To run CMSE or DMSE switches, order the -S code, which adds the optional magnet - without it no sensor can be picked up.
