Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED40X175
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED40X175 is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 175mm 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 ACED40X175
The ACED40X175 is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to ISO 21287: a piston rod leaves both covers, so the 40 mm bore delivers the same 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa (800.5 N at 0.7 MPa) on every stroke, in either direction. The short hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into tight guarding and gantry frames a full-length body cannot reach.
The through-rod resists rotation and light side load and gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag on a packaging line. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. Practical sizing: keep real work near 343 N (about 0.6 of the rating) at 0.5 MPa, which is roughly a 29 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s over 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).

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 ACED40X175 Is Used
Carton pusher on a case packer
The symmetric 571.8 N push and pull at 0.5 MPa ejects finished cartons from the packer lane, and the 175 mm stroke clears the conveyor edge without a long body.
Indexing fixture on a CNC line
The rear rod drives a sensor flag for CMSE / DMSE switches when the -S magnet is ordered, while the front rod clamps aluminium housings in a drilling fixture.
Belt tensioner on a food-grade conveyor
Equal force in both directions keeps take-up rollers loaded evenly, and the compact body fits inside the conveyor side frame where an ISO 15552 profile cylinder will not.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED40X175 the Right Cylinder?
At 175 mm the stroke sits inside the 200 mm standard range for bore 40, so no made-to-order length is needed. If 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa is more than the job needs, the ACED32X25-class bore gives 345.6 N; if the load climbs toward 900 N, step up to bore 50 at 881.2 N. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check for a held load. Bolt FA/FB flanges, LB feet or FTC brackets to the ISO 21287 face, pick the female M8x1.25 rod thread as coded, and order the -S option only if you need CMSE / DMSE switch detection.
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 ACED40X175 FAQ
Yes. Because a rod exits both covers, both strokes use the rod-side area: 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 800.5 N at 0.7 MPa, equal push and pull. At 1.0 MPa the bore reaches a maximum of 116.6 kgf. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof, running 30-500 mm/s.
The ISO 21287 body is about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits shallow machine frames. A fixed TPU bumper at each cover absorbs end-of-stroke energy but is not adjustable and never holds a load - for a suspended load add a rod lock or pilot check. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC mounting bolt straight to the face, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches.
