Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED40X15S
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED40X15S 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 ACED40X15S
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACED40X15S pushes with equal force in each direction because both strokes work on the rod-side area: 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 800.5 N at 0.7 MPa. The 40 mm bore runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), with a 15 mm stroke and speeds of 30-500 mm/s.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight guards and fixtures. The through-rod resists rotation and light side load and gives a symmetric mount, while the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. A hard-anodized aluminium body pairs with an S45C hard-chrome rod, and fixed TPU bumpers absorb end-of-stroke shock at both covers. Because the -S code is on this unit, CMSE / DMSE switches can be clipped onto the body magnet slots. For vertical work, the 571.8 N force at 0.5 MPa corresponds to about 58 kg, so halving for a 2:1 margin lets it lift roughly 29 kg vertically.

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 ACED40X15S Is Used
Fixture clamping on CNC pallets
The 15 mm stroke and 571.8 N of equal push-pull force clamp or eject parts inside a machining fixture, with the short ISO 21287 body fitting where a full-length profile cylinder cannot.
Pusher on packaging lines
A rod on each cover gives a symmetric pusher head that resists rotation, moving cartons sideways at 30-500 mm/s; the fitted magnet drives a CMSE switch for end-of-stroke confirmation.
Lift stage in a lab tester
With about 29 kg of vertical lift capacity at a 2:1 margin (571.8 N at 0.5 MPa), the through-rod raises and lowers a small test platen with identical force up and down.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED40X15S the Right Cylinder?
At 40 mm bore this sits mid-range: a 32 mm ACED gives 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa, while a 50 mm ACED reaches 881.2 N. If the load must stay put when air is lost, add a rod lock or pilot check - a plain double-rod piston will drift. Mount with FA/FB flange, LB foot or FTC brackets plus I/Y rod knuckles on the ISO 21287 face; the fitted magnet accepts CMSE / DMSE switches. Female M8x1.25 rod thread, 1/8" PT ports.
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 ACED40X15S 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, with a maximum of 116.6 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range 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, air filtered to 40 um.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder - roughly 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder - with a hard-anodized aluminium body, S45C hard-chrome rod and fixed TPU bumpers at both ends. This -S version carries the optional magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount in the body slots. Mounting: FA/FB flange, LB foot, FTC, plus I/Y rod knuckles; rod thread is female M8x1.25 and ports are 1/8" PT.
