Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED40X5SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED40X5SB is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 5mm 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 ACED40X5SB
The ACED40X5SB is a double acting compact cylinder built to the ISO 21287 short-body format, with a piston rod leaving BOTH covers. Because both strokes work on the rod-side area, output is identical each way: 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) and the fitted -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches are already in this code.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome plated 12 mm rod keeps the envelope tight - roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder - so a 5 mm short-shuttle fits inside guarding where a full-length body cannot. As a working rule, keep real duty near 343 N (about 0.6 of the rating), which corresponds to lifting roughly 29 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. A fixed TPU bumper sits at each end, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s.

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 ACED40X5SB Is Used
Short-stroke part clamping
A 5 mm clamp tick on a CNC fixture or pallet press, where the 40 mm bore's 571.8 N per direction at 0.5 MPa holds a machined blank against a hard stop.
Position-confirmed ejector
Kicking a rejected carton or vial off a packaging line, with the fitted -S magnet driving CMSE or DMSE switches to confirm the 5 mm eject stroke.
Symmetric push-pull indexing
Nudging a small tray or dial-table index one way then back, using the through-rod so the rear rod end can carry a flag or a second tool without rotation.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED40X5SB the Right Cylinder?
For a 5 mm approach or clamping tick, the 40 mm bore gives 571.8 N per direction at 0.5 MPa. If your load is lighter, the 32 mm bore delivers 345.6 N at the same pressure; if you need more, step up to the 50 mm bore at 881.2 N. Remember that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check if the part must stay put. FA/FB flanges, LB feet and FTC brackets bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and this model already carries the -S 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 ACED40X5SB FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design means a rod exits both covers and both strokes use the rod-side area, so force is equal each 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 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 suits the 40 mm bore.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder whose hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, ideal for a 5 mm stroke inside tight guarding. FA/FB flanges, LB feet and FTC brackets mount on the standard face, the B code gives a male rod thread, and the fitted -S magnet accepts CMSE / DMSE switches. A fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke energy at both ends.
