Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED40X175B
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED40X175B 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 ACED40X175B
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED40X175B pushes a 12 mm hard-chrome rod out of BOTH covers, so thrust is identical in each direction: 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 800.5 N at 0.7 MPa on the 40 mm bore. The male rod thread (B code) bolts straight to your tooling, and the fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock.
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. The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. Plan on roughly 343 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which is about 35 kg of 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 ACED40X175B Is Used
Fixture clamping on a CNC pallet
The 571.8 N thrust at 0.5 MPa seats aluminium housings against a hard stop, and the male rod thread takes a custom clamp tip directly.
Pusher on a bottling line
Equal force on extend and retract keeps cases squared from either side, while the short body fits under the guard rail where a full-length cylinder cannot.
Lift-and-lower stamping nest
The through-rod guides the nest without extra bearings, and about 35 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin covers typical small die shoes.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED40X175B the Right Cylinder?
At 40 mm bore you sit between the 32 mm (345.6 N at 0.5 MPa) and the 50 mm (881.2 N at 0.5 MPa), so step down for lighter clamping or up when the 571.8 N thrust is marginal. The 175 mm stroke is within the 200 mm standard range for this bore, so no made-to-order build is needed. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check for a held load. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets plus I/Y rod knuckles bolt to the ISO 21287 face. Sensors need the optional -S magnet code; this model without S carries no magnet.
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 ACED40X175B 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 (rod-side area, both strokes). At the 1.0 MPa maximum the bore reaches 116.6 kgf. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure.
It is an ISO 21287 short-body cylinder with a hard-anodized aluminium barrel, S45C hard-chrome plated rod and fixed TPU bumpers at both ends, saving about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. Position sensing requires the optional -S magnet code; with -S ordered, CMSE / DMSE switches read stroke from the body slots. This version has no magnet fitted.
