Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED40X15
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED40X15 is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 15mm 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 ACED40X15
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACED40X15 pushes and pulls with the same 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa because both strokes work on the rod-side area of the 40 mm bore. The through-rod resists rotation and side load, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag or a second tooling plate. Its ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight guards and fixture plates.
The 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 0.7 MPa the output is 800.5 N in either direction, with 116.6 kgf available at 1.0 MPa. As a planning figure, treat roughly 343 N as the usable working force at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 29 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s over 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).

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 ACED40X15 Is Used
Short-stroke press fit
The 15 mm stroke and 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa suit pressing bearings or bushings into small housings on an electronics assembly bench, with equal return force from the second rod.
Fixture clamping
Bolted to an FA flange on a CNC jig, the through-rod clamps aluminium extrusion blanks at 800.5 N at 0.7 MPa and retracts with the same force for fast cycle changeover.
Sensor flag carrier
On a packaging line gate, the rear rod can mount a flag plate, and with the optional -S magnet ordered, CMSE or DMSE switches report end positions along the body slots.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED40X15 the Right Cylinder?
For a 15 mm stroke at this force class, compare the 32 mm bore (345.6 N at 0.5 MPa) if the load is lighter, or step up to the 50 mm bore (881.2 N at 0.5 MPa) for heavier clamping. The 15 mm stroke sits well inside the 200 mm maximum standard stroke for bore 40, so it is a catalogue item. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check where a load must stay held. Bolt FA/FB flanges, LB feet or FTC brackets to the ISO 21287 face, and order the -S code if you need the optional magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches; without -S no magnet is 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 ACED40X15 FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, force is equal in both directions: 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 800.5 N at 0.7 MPa on the rod-side area of the 40 mm bore. The maximum rating is 116.6 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a hard-anodized aluminium body, threaded aluminium covers, an S45C hard-chrome rod and a fixed TPU bumper at each end - about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. The magnet is optional: order the -S code to enable CMSE / DMSE switches; without -S there is no magnet. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC mounting bolt straight to the standard face.
