Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED40X30B
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED40X30B is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 30mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body.

About the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED40X30B
A double acting compact cylinder with a piston rod leaving BOTH covers, the ACED40X30B pushes with the same 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa in each direction because both strokes work on the rod-side area of the 40 mm bore. The B code gives a male rod thread on each end, so tooling plates and sensor flags can be clamped on either side of the 30 mm stroke. Its ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into tight jigs, guarding and gantry frames.
The through-rod resists rotation and light side load and gives a symmetric mount, while a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a hard-chrome plated S45C rod, running at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and 30-500 mm/s. For planning: treat roughly 343 N (about 0.6 of the 0.5 MPa rating) as the usable working force, which corresponds to lifting about 29 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The magnet is not fitted on this code - order the -S variant if you want CMSE / DMSE switch sensing.

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 ACED40X30B Is Used
Symmetric clamp fixture
Male rod threads on both ends let a machining fixture clamp a part from two sides of the 30 mm stroke with an identical 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa, keeping clamp force balanced on round or bar stock.
Gantry flag carrier
The rear rod of the through-rod design carries a sensor flag to trip a proximity switch on a pick-and-place gantry, while the front rod does the 30 mm push - add the -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE end detection.
Packaging line reject pusher
A short-body rejector between conveyor frames: the compact profile fits where a full-length cylinder cannot, and the 343 N practical working force at 0.5 MPa nudges off-spec cartons at 30-500 mm/s.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED40X30B the Right Cylinder?
At 571.8 N per side at 0.5 MPa, the 40 mm bore sits between the 32 mm (345.6 N) and 50 mm (881.2 N) compact frames - step down for lighter clamping, up when the load creeps past 350 N of real work. Remember the piston will drift if air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check for a held load. LB foot or FA/FB flange brackets bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE position switches on this otherwise sensorless code.
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 ACED40X30B FAQ
Yes - it is a double-rod cylinder, so force is equal both ways. At 0.5 MPa it gives 571.8 N, at 0.7 MPa it gives 800.5 N in each direction (rod-side area on both strokes), and the maximum rating at 1.0 MPa is 116.6 kgf. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, running 30-500 mm/s on air filtered to 40 um.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. This code has no magnet fitted, so no switch can be read - order the -S variant to enable CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets plus I/Y rod knuckles bolt straight to the standard face.
