Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED40X30SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED40X30SB 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. 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 ACED40X30SB
A double acting compact cylinder with a piston rod leaving both covers, the ACED40X30SB delivers 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa in either direction, because each stroke works on the rod-side area. The 40 mm bore sits in the mid force band of the AirTAC ACED range, and the male rod thread (B code) on both ends makes tooling and fixtures straightforward to attach.
The ISO 21287 short body cuts mounting length by roughly half versus an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight guards and gantries. A hard-anodized aluminium body carries a hard-chrome plated S45C rod, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbing stroke-end shock. The fitted -S magnet lets CMSE / DMSE switches report position, and as a through-rod design the rear rod can carry a sensor flag or a second load. At 0.5 MPa plan on about 343 N of usable work, and the rod will lift roughly 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.
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 ACED40X30SB Is Used
Push-pull welding fixture clamps
The 571.8 N symmetric force clamps a steel bracket from both sides of a jig, with the 30 mm stroke clearing part loading by hand.
Bidirectional reject pusher on a packaging line
Equal force in both directions lets one cylinder push off-spec cartons off the belt and retract with the same authority at up to 500 mm/s.
Position-flagged slide in an assembly station
The fitted magnet drives CMSE / DMSE switches at both stroke ends, while the rear rod carries a flag for a second sensing point.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED40X30SB the Right Cylinder?
Size both ways: the 32 mm bore ACED gives 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the 50 mm bore reaches 881.2 N, so pick the 40 mm when your load sits between those bands. Remember this cylinder drifts if air is lost - for a held load add a rod lock or pilot check valve. With the magnet already fitted, CMSE / DMSE switches mount directly; FA/FB flanges, LB feet and FTC brackets bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and I/Y rod knuckles suit the 12 mm male-threaded rods.
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 ACED40X30SB FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design exposes the rod-side area on both strokes, so output is equal in each direction: 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 800.5 N at 0.7 MPa. At 1.0 MPa the peak is 116.6 kgf. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the 1/8" port matches the 40 mm bore.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, fitting shallow machine frames. Both rod ends carry a male thread (B code), a fixed TPU bumper sits at each end of travel, and the fitted -S magnet accepts CMSE / DMSE switches. FA/FB flanges, LB feet and FTC brackets mount on the standard face.
