Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED40X80
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED40X80 is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 80mm 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 ACED40X80
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED40X80 pushes a 12 mm rod out of BOTH covers, so its 40 mm bore delivers 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 800.5 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction - both strokes use the rod-side area. The through-rod resists rotation and modest side load, and the rear rod makes a handy sensor-flag mount. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s with a fixed TPU bumper at each end.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with a burnished bore and S45C hard-chrome plated rod shrugs off wear, and the short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder - ideal for tight jigs and gantries. In practice, plan on roughly 343 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 29 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. FA/FB flanges, LB feet and FTC brackets bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches.

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 ACED40X80 Is Used
Symmetric jig clamping
The equal 571.8 N push and pull lets one ACED40X80 clamp and unclamp a machined aluminium housing in a drilling fixture with identical force, no direction derating needed.
Pusher on a packaging line
An 80 mm stroke slides cartons sideways off a conveyor lane at 30-500 mm/s; the rear rod carries a flag plate for a proximity sensor on the return stroke.
Counterweight lift arm
A small pick-and-place gantry uses the through-rod to raise about 29 kg of tooling vertically at 0.5 MPa, keeping a 2:1 margin on the 58 kgf theoretical lift.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED40X80 the Right Cylinder?
At 571.8 N per direction, bore 40 sits between bore 32 (345.6 N) and bore 50 (881.2 N) at 0.5 MPa - pick 32 for lighter clamps, 50 when the load creeps up. The 80 mm stroke is well inside the 200 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it ships as a standard build. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost; add a rod lock or pilot check where a load must stay put. Female M8x1.25 rod thread, PT ports, and order the -S code if you need magnet-based CMSE / DMSE sensing.
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 ACED40X80 FAQ
Yes - it is a double-rod cylinder, so force is equal both ways. At 0.5 MPa it delivers 571.8 N, at 0.7 MPa it delivers 800.5 N, and the maximum at 1.0 MPa is 116.6 kgf. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, air filtered to 40 um, -20 to 70 C, 30-500 mm/s.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder whose short hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end and FA/FB, LB or FTC mounting options. Sensing is not fitted as standard: order the -S code to get the optional magnet, then CMSE or DMSE switches can be clipped to the body slots. Without -S there is no magnet.
