About the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED40X150SB
The ACED40X150SB is a double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, with a 40 mm bore and a 150 mm stroke. A piston rod exits both covers, so the 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, because both sides work on the rod-side area. The male rod thread (B code) suits rod knuckles and external tooling. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits tight jigs, guards and gantries where a full-length body will not.
The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount; the back-end rod can also carry a sensor flag. The hard-anodized aluminium body with a roller-burnished bore runs against an S45C hard-chrome-plated rod, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be mounted for position feedback. At 0.5 MPa the 571.8 N rating works out to about 58 kgf, so plan on lifting roughly 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.
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 ACED40X150SB Is Used
Symmetric jig clamping
The equal 571.8 N force in both directions lets one ACED40X150SB clamp and release a machining fixture with identical force, with the male rod thread carrying a swivel knuckle.
Pusher on a packaging line
A 150 mm stroke at 30-500 mm/s pushes cartons sideways off a conveyor; the back-end rod can drive a flag past a CMSE switch for cycle confirmation.
Lift-and-lower gantry station
With about 58 kgf available at 0.5 MPa, the through-rod raises and lowers a small nest or sensor bracket in a compact gantry where a full-length profile cylinder will not fit.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED40X150SB the Right Cylinder?
Size both ways: the ACED32X50SB gives 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa if your load is lighter, while the ACED50X150SB raises the force to 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa for heavier work. The 150 mm stroke sits inside the 200 mm maximum standard stroke for bore 40, so it is a catalogue item. Remember that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - for a held load add a rod lock or pilot check. Mount with FA/FB flange, LB foot or FTC brackets plus I/Y rod knuckles, and keep the -S magnet if you need CMSE / DMSE switch feedback.
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 ACED40X150SB FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, the force is equal in both directions: 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 800.5 N at 0.7 MPa on every stroke, 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, temperature -20 to +70 C, and the fluid is air filtered to 40 um. The port is 1/8" (PT) and the rod end is male thread.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and FA/FB flange, LB foot or FTC brackets bolt straight to the standard face. The S in the model code means the optional -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be slid into the body slots for end-position sensing. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy; it does not hold or brake a load, so use a rod lock or pilot check where position must be kept with air off.
