About the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED40X150
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED40X150 pushes a 40 mm bore through a 150 mm stroke with a rod leaving BOTH covers. Because each side sees the rod-side area, output is a matched 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 800.5 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction - no push/pull mismatch to compensate for. The through-rod also resists rotation and light side load, and the free back-end rod is a handy mount for a sensor flag.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome plated rod runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-500 mm/s, from -20 to +70 C, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight guarding. Practical sizing: treat roughly 343 N (about 35 kg) as the working thrust at 0.5 MPa, which is roughly a 17 kg vertical lift even 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.
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 ACED40X150 Is Used
Fixture clamping on a CNC machining line
The equal 571.8 N thrust in both directions lets one ACED40X150 clamp a steel housing for milling and retract the nest for part exchange, with the 150 mm stroke clearing a tall workpiece.
Reciprocating conveyor pusher
A packaging line uses the through-rod to divert cartons alternately left and right; the back-end rod carries a flag plate for a proximity sensor on the return stroke.
Bench-top press and riveting station
With about 800 N available at 0.7 MPa, the cylinder drives light staking and snap-fit pressing of aluminium brackets, and the fixed TPU bumpers quiet the ends of each 150 mm cycle.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED40X150 the Right Cylinder?
At 571.8 N per direction (0.5 MPa) this 40 mm bore suits clamping and press-fit work in the 30-35 kg class; step down to the 32 mm bore (345.6 N) for lighter fixtures or up to the 50 mm bore (881.2 N) when the job needs nearly double the thrust. The 150 mm stroke sits inside the 200 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it ships as a catalogue item. Choose the female M8x1.25 rod thread as coded, or add B for a male thread; FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets bolt to the ISO 21287 face. Note that with no -S magnet ordered there is no magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches cannot be read - add the S code if position sensing is planned. If the load must stay put on air loss, pair the cylinder with a rod lock or pilot check valve.
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 ACED40X150 FAQ
Yes - it is a double-rod cylinder, so a rod exits both covers and every stroke uses the rod-side area of the 40 mm bore. Output is 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 800.5 N at 0.7 MPa, identical for extend and retract, with a peak of 116.6 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, speed 30-500 mm/s.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it fits shallow machine frames and gantries. Switches are possible only with the optional -S magnet code: order ACED40X150S and CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches will ride the body slots; without the S code no magnet is fitted. Mounting is via FA/FB flange, LB foot or FTC brackets, and the fixed TPU bumpers at both ends absorb end-of-stroke shock.
