Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED40X90
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED40X90 is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 90mm 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 ACED40X90
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED40X90 pushes a 12 mm rod out of BOTH covers, so the 40 mm bore delivers the same 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa (800.5 N at 0.7 MPa) on every stroke. The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, while the fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s over 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
The hard-anodized aluminium body with a hard-chrome plated S45C rod is about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight guards and gantries. Because the rod-side area works both ways, the back rod can carry a sensor flag or a second tool. At 0.5 MPa plan on roughly 343 N of usable work, which lifts about 29 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face; add the optional -S code if you need CMSE / DMSE switch sensing.

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 ACED40X90 Is Used
Symmetric fixture clamping
Clamp a machined housing from both sides of a CNC jig with equal 571.8 N force in each direction, no need to size two different cylinders.
Push-pull transfer arm
A packaging line transfer arm that pushes cartons onto a belt and retracts with the same force, using the 90 mm stroke at 30-500 mm/s.
Sensor-flag carriage
Mount a flag on the rear rod of a gantry slide so a CMSE or DMSE switch (with the optional -S magnet) confirms both end positions.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED40X90 the Right Cylinder?
Step down to ACED32 (345.6 N at 0.5 MPa) for lighter clamping, or up to ACED50 (881.2 N) when the load grows; this 40 mm bore sits in the middle at 571.8 N both ways. The 90 mm stroke is well inside the 200 mm maximum standard stroke for bore 40. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost, so pair it with a rod lock or pilot check for held loads. Female M8x1.25 rod thread, PT ports, and the optional -S magnet if CMSE / DMSE switches are planned.
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 ACED40X90 FAQ
Both directions equally, because a rod exits each cover and both strokes use the rod-side area: 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 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure.
The ISO 21287 short 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 on the standard face. Sensing needs the optional -S magnet code; only then can CMSE / DMSE switches be mounted on the body slots.
