The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED40X110SB is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 110mm 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.
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED40X110SB has a piston rod leaving both covers, so thrust is identical on the out-stroke and the return: 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 800.5 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction. The male rod thread (B code) and the fitted -S magnet make it ready for CMSE / DMSE switch sensing straight out of the box. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof rating, and stroke speed runs 30-500 mm/s.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight guarding and fixture plates. The through-rod resists rotation and light side load, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. A hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome plated rod and a fixed TPU bumper at each end keeps it serviceable. As a rule of thumb, plan on roughly 343 N (about 35 kgf) of real work at 0.5 MPa, or lift around 29 kg vertically with a 2:1 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 | 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).

| ×110 | 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 571.8 N push and pull lets one ACED40X110SB both seat and retract a machined aluminium housing in a CNC drilling jig without a return spring or counter-cylinder.
With the -S magnet already fitted, CMSE or DMSE switches confirm end positions as the through-rod shunts cartons between conveyor lanes at up to 500 mm/s.
A gantry that raises a 25-29 kg nesting plate vertically uses the rear rod as a balanced counter-mount, halving overhang and keeping the 110 mm stroke inside a short frame.
At 571.8 N per direction, the 40 mm bore sits between the 32 mm (345.6 N at 0.5 MPa) and the 50 mm (881.2 N at 0.5 MPa) - step up only if your tooling mass demands it. The 110 mm stroke is well inside the 200 mm standard limit for this bore, so no made-to-order build is needed. 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. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets plus I/Y rod knuckles bolt to the ISO 21287 face.
Quick checklist
Yes - the double-rod design exposes the rod-side area on both strokes, so force is equal either way: 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 800.5 N at 0.7 MPa, with a peak of 116.6 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the 1/8" port suits this 40 mm bore.
The ISO 21287 body is about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a hard-anodized aluminium barrel and S45C hard-chrome rod. A fixed TPU bumper at each cover decelerates the piston at the ends of travel; it is not adjustable and never holds a load - use a rod lock or pilot check for that. The -S magnet on this model accepts CMSE / DMSE switches.
