The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED40X175SB 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.
The ACED40X175SB 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 either direction - both strokes work on the rod-side area, so push and pull are identical. The male rod thread (B code) and PT ports suit direct tooling attachment.
The hard-anodized aluminium body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is what lets a 175 mm stroke fit inside tight guarding and slide assemblies. The -S magnet is fitted on this model, so CMSE or DMSE switches can be clipped on for end-of-stroke signalling, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs stop impact. At 0.5 MPa the thrust equals about 58 kg of force, so plan on roughly 29 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin.

|---|---|
| 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).

ACE-family variants: ACE (double acting), ASE / ATE (single acting push / pull), ACED (double rod), ACEJ (adjustable stroke), TACE / TACED (non-rotating twin-guide yoke). Mounting accessories: FA / FB flange, LB foot, CA / CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, FTC; plus I and Y knuckles. Thread PT (blank) / G.
The through-rod drives a small fixture slide from either end at 30-500 mm/s, with the rear rod carrying a position flag past a DMSE switch.
Equal 571.8 N force in both strokes suits a bench-top forming head that must strike with identical force on the return pass.
About 29 kg of vertical lift capacity at a 2:1 margin covers raising camera or dispensing heads inside compact machine frames.
At 571.8 N per direction, this bore sits between the 32 mm (345.6 N) and 50 mm (881.2 N) double-rod classes - step down for lighter pick-and-place, up for heavier clamping. The 175 mm stroke is within the 200 mm standard range for bore 40, so no made-to-order build is needed. Remember the through-rod cannot hold position on lost air; add a rod lock or pilot check for suspended loads. FA/FB flanges, LB feet and I/Y knuckles bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face, and the fitted -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switch mounting.
Quick checklist
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. Maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 116.6 kgf. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, and speed range is 30-500 mm/s.
The ISO 21287 aluminium body is about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so a 175 mm stroke fits shallow slides and guarded cells. The -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE / DMSE switches mount in the body slots, and FA/FB flanges, LB feet and I/Y rod knuckles attach directly. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke impact.
