Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED40X150S
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED40X150S is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 150mm 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 ACED40X150S
The ACED40X150S 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 the 40 mm bore delivers 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 800.5 N at 0.7 MPa in BOTH directions - both strokes work on the rod-side area, so push and pull are always equal. The -S code means the magnet is fitted, letting CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches report end positions on either side.
The hard-anodized aluminium body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which matters inside tight jigs, guards and gantries. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock, and the through-rod resists rotation and side load while the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. At 0.5 MPa the 571.8 N output equates to about 58 kgf, so halving for a 2:1 margin lets this cylinder lift roughly 29 kg vertically - enough for medium fixture clamping and slide duty at 30-500 mm/s.

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 ACED40X150S Is Used
CNC fixture clamping
Equal 571.8 N clamp and release force in both directions suits a machining fixture where the rear rod drives a status flag and the front rod presses the part.
Packaging pusher arm
The 150 mm stroke ejects cartons from a conveyor lane, with the TPU bumper softening every end-of-stroke stop at up to 500 mm/s.
Reciprocating slide drive
A symmetric through-rod mount drives a pick-and-place slide back and forth, and CMSE switches on the fitted magnet confirm both home and extend positions.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED40X150S the Right Cylinder?
Size both ways: the ACED32X150S gives 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa if your load is lighter, while the ACED50X150S raises it to 881.2 N for heavier tooling. With 150 mm stroke you stay inside the 200 mm maximum standard stroke for the 40 mm bore, so no made-to-order surcharge applies. Remember this through-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - for a held load add a rod lock or pilot check valve. FA/FB flanges, LB feet, FTC brackets and I/Y rod knuckles bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face, and the fitted -S magnet pairs with CMSE / DMSE switches.
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 ACED40X150S 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 every stroke (rod-side area). At 1.0 MPa the maximum output is 116.6 kgf. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s.
The ISO 21287 aluminium body is about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits shallow machines. The -S code on this model means the position magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clamped anywhere along the body slots. The fixed TPU bumpers at each end only decelerate the piston; they never hold or brake a load.
