About the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED40X80B
The ACED40X80B is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to ISO 21287: a 40 mm bore and an 80 mm stroke with a 12 mm rod leaving both covers, so thrust is identical on the extend and retract strokes. At 0.5 MPa it delivers 571.8 N in either direction (800.5 N at 0.7 MPa), and the through-rod resists rotation and side load while the free back-end rod can carry a sensor flag or a second tooling plate. The B code gives a male rod thread at each end.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome-plated rod saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs, guards and gantries. Fixed TPU bumpers at both ends absorb end-of-stroke shock, speed spans 30-500 mm/s, and pressure runs 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof rating. Note there is no magnet fitted on this code; order the -S variant if you need CMSE / DMSE switching.

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 ACED40X80B Is Used
CNC fixture clamping
The symmetric 571.8 N thrust clamps a machined housing from both sides of a jig, and the male rod thread takes a quick-change clamp tip.
Pick-and-place on a PCB line
The back-end rod carries a flag for position feedback while the front rod lifts trays, with the short body fitting under a low gantry frame.
Carton pusher on a packaging machine
Equal force both ways pushes cartons off a conveyor in either stroke direction, and the through-rod keeps the pusher plate square under side load.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED40X80B the Right Cylinder?
At 40 mm bore this model sits between the 32 mm size (345.6 N at 0.5 MPa) and the 50 mm size (881.2 N at 0.5 MPa), so choose it when a 32 mm cylinder is under-rated but a 50 mm body will not fit the envelope. The 80 mm stroke is well inside the 200 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it ships as a catalogue item. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost - for a held vertical load add a rod lock or pilot check valve. FA/FB flanges, LB foot and FTC brackets plus I and Y rod knuckles bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face, and the male rod thread suits couplings that clamp externally. If you need position sensing, specify the -S code instead; this unit has no 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 ACED40X80B FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, both strokes use the rod-side area and the force is equal in each direction: 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 80 mm stroke is a standard length (bore 40 goes up to 200 mm).
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with fixed TPU bumpers at both ends to soften the stroke ends. This ACED40X80B code has no magnet fitted; order the -S version to enable CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches in the body slots. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC mounting plus I/Y rod knuckles attach directly to the standard face.
