The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED40X200 is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 200mm 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.
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED40X200 pushes a 40 mm piston over a 200 mm stroke with a rod leaving BOTH covers. Because each stroke works on the rod-side area, output is identical in either direction: 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 800.5 N at 0.7 MPa. The through-rod resists rotation and modest side load, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag or a second tooling plate.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome rod runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-500 mm/s, from -20 to +70 C, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end. The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight gantries. For planning, treat roughly 343 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa rating) as usable work force, which lifts about 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.
| 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).

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.
A 200 mm through-rod lets one cylinder clamp a machined aluminium casting from the front while the rear rod drives a locator pin, delivering 571.8 N per side at 0.5 MPa in a jig too short for a full-length profile cylinder.
On a bottling line transfer, the front rod pushes cartons across a lane at 30-500 mm/s while the back rod carries a flag for a proximity sensor, using the symmetric 40 mm bore force of 800.5 N at 0.7 MPa.
With about 29 kg of vertical lift capacity at a 2:1 margin, the ACED40X200 raises small pallet trays or lids on a packaging machine, the through-rod keeping the load plate square without extra guides.
At 571.8 N both ways, the 40 mm bore sits between the 32 mm (345.6 N) and the 50 mm (881.2 N) options - pick 32 mm for lighter pick-and-place, 50 mm when you need roughly 1.5x the force. The 200 mm stroke is the maximum standard stroke for this bore, so no made-to-order length is required. 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. This version has no magnet - order the -S code if you need CMSE / DMSE switch positions.
Quick checklist
Yes - the double-rod design exposes the rod-side area on both strokes, so force is equal either way: 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 800.5 N at 0.7 MPa, 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, air filtered to 40 um, -20 to +70 C, rod thread M8x1.25 female, 1/8" ports.
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 its face. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke impact. Sensors are possible only with the optional -S magnet code, which enables CMSE / DMSE switches; this standard ACED40X200 has no magnet fitted.
