About the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED40X150B
The ACED40X150B is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to the ISO 21287 short-body format. A 12 mm hard-chrome-plated S45C rod exits BOTH covers, so output force is equal in both directions - 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 800.5 N at 0.7 MPa on every stroke, push or pull. The male rod thread (B code) bolts straight to your tooling, and the 150 mm stroke sits well inside the 200 mm standard range for the 40 mm bore.
Because the through-rod resists rotation and carries a symmetric load, it suits clamping fixtures where the back-end rod can drive a second jaw or carry a sensor flag. The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight gantries and guarding. As a working figure, plan on roughly 343 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 29 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The hard-anodized aluminium body, fixed TPU bumpers at both ends and 30-500 mm/s speed range round out a robust package running on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) filtered air.

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 ACED40X150B Is Used
Symmetric clamp fixtures
The through-rod lets a machining fixture clamp from both sides with equal 571.8 N force at 0.5 MPa, ideal for aluminium die-cast housing machining cells.
Compact pick-and-place lift
With about 29 kg of vertical lift capacity at a 2:1 margin, the 150 mm stroke raises PCB pallets between conveyor levels inside a tight gantry frame.
Dual-side carton press
A packaging line uses the back-end rod to press a case flap while the front rod seats the product, both strokes delivering identical 800.5 N force at 0.7 MPa.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED40X150B the Right Cylinder?
Size against neighbours: the 32 mm bore gives 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to 50 mm raises it to 881.2 N - pick the 40 mm when your clamp or lift needs the 571.8 N class with a compact footprint. Note that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost; for a held load add a rod lock or pilot check valve. Mounting brackets (FA/FB flange, LB foot, FTC) and I/Y rod knuckles bolt to the ISO 21287 face. This unit has no magnet fitted - order the -S code if you need CMSE / DMSE switch sensing.
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 ACED40X150B FAQ
As a double-rod cylinder, force is equal in both directions 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), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the 12 mm rod carries a male thread (B code) with a 1/8" PT port 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 jigs and guarded machines. Sensing is not fitted as standard: order the -S version to get the optional magnet, which enables CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches in the body slots. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock, and FA/FB flange, LB foot or FTC brackets mount directly to the ISO 21287 face.
