Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED40X10S
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED40X10S 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 ACED40X10S
The ACED40X10S is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to the ISO 21287 short-body format. A piston rod exits both covers, so the 40 mm bore delivers an identical 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa (800.5 N at 0.7 MPa) on every stroke, because both directions work on the rod-side area. The 10 mm stroke suits short indexing moves, and the through-rod resists rotation and light side load while giving a symmetric mounting face at each end.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome plated rod runs at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and 30-500 mm/s, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end. Because the body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, it slots into tight guarding and fixture plates where a full-length body will not fit. The -S code on this model means the magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clipped on for end-of-stroke signals. At 0.5 MPa the thrust equals about 58 kg of force, so halving for a 2:1 margin lets it lift roughly 29 kg vertically.

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 ACED40X10S Is Used
Fixture clamping in machining cells
A 10 mm stroke with 571.8 N both ways is enough to clamp or release small aluminium housings on a CNC fixture, and the short ISO 21287 body fits inside the fixture plate depth.
Position-confirmed eject on assembly stations
With the -S magnet fitted, CMSE or DMSE switches confirm the short push stroke before the next robot pick, keeping cycle time tight on electronics assembly lines.
Symmetric push-pull transfer slides
Equal 800.5 N at 0.7 MPa in both directions suits a compact slide that must push a PCB carrier forward and retract it with the same force, using the back rod as a sensor flag mount.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED40X10S the Right Cylinder?
For a 10 mm stroke at 40 mm bore, compare neighbours: the 32 mm bore gives 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa and the 50 mm bore gives 881.2 N, so pick 40 mm when your part mass sits between those two. Remember that a plain double-rod cylinder will drift if air is lost - fit a rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must stay held. FA/FB flanges, LB foot and FTC brackets bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face, and I/Y rod knuckles suit the 12 mm rod; the fitted magnet accepts CMSE / DMSE switches without ordering extras.
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 ACED40X10S FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design exposes the rod-side area on both strokes, so output is equal each way: 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 range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the 1/8" port depends only on the 40 mm bore.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits shallow fixtures and guarded gantries. The S in ACED40X10S means the optional -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be mounted on the body slots. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, and the female M8x1.25 rod thread suits standard I or Y knuckles.
