About the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED40X60SB
The ACED40X60SB is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to the ISO 21287 short-body format: a 40 mm bore with a 12 mm rod leaving BOTH covers, so the output force is identical on the extend and retract strokes. At 0.5 MPa it delivers 571.8 N in either direction, and 800.5 N at 0.7 MPa, because both strokes work on the rod-side area. The male rod thread (B code) bolts straight to tooling, and the fitted -S magnet lets CMSE / DMSE switches report end positions without any external flag.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome-plated rod runs at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and 30-500 mm/s, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbing stroke-end shock. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs and gantries. As a rule of thumb, plan on roughly 343 N (about 35 kg of vertical lift) of real work at 0.5 MPa rather than the full 571.8 N rating.

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 ACED40X60SB Is Used
Gantry pick-and-place
The 571.8 N both-ways force and symmetric through-rod let a gantry clamp and release a 25-30 kg automotive bracket with equal authority on each stroke, inside a guard too short for a full-length profile cylinder.
Packaging line pusher
At 30-500 mm/s the ACED40X60SB diverts cartons on a food packaging conveyor, with the fitted -S magnet driving CMSE switches to confirm every push without an external flag.
Fixture clamping station
The male rod thread and 60 mm stroke suit a machining-fixture clamp that grips a cast housing with about 343 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa, retracting fully clear for part changeover.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED40X60SB the Right Cylinder?
Size this 40 mm bore when your job needs more than the 345.6 N a 32 mm bore gives at 0.5 MPa but less than the 881.2 N of a 50 mm bore. The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, and the back-end rod can carry a tooling plate or sensor flag. Note that a plain double-rod cylinder does not hold position when air is lost - for a held load, pair it with a rod lock or pilot check. Choose FA/FB flange, LB foot or FTC mounting plus I/Y rod knuckles, and keep the -S magnet if CMSE / DMSE sensing is needed (this model already carries it).
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 ACED40X60SB FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design means a rod exits both covers and both strokes use the rod-side area, so force is equal either way: 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa, 800.5 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum of 116.6 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure.
The short hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits tight machines, and FA/FB flange, LB foot or FTC mounts bolt straight to the standard face. This ACED40X60SB carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clipped on for end-of-stroke sensing. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs stroke-end shock, and the 1/8" PT port suits bores 32-63.
