Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED50X15
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED50X15 is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 15mm 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 ACED50X15
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED50X15 pushes a 16 mm rod out of BOTH covers, so the 50 mm bore delivers an identical 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 1233.7 N at 0.7 MPa whichever way the piston travels. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into tight clamping nests and sliding gantries where a full-length body simply will not fit.
In practice that 881.2 N rating means roughly 529 N of usable work force at 0.5 MPa once you plan a sensible margin, equivalent to lifting about 27 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety factor. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a roller-burnished bore, the S45C hard-chrome-plated rod resists wear, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock. The through-rod also fights rotation and side load, and its back end makes a handy sensor-flag carrier. Need position feedback? Order the -S code to add the optional magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches; without -S there is no magnet fitted.

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 (Ø50mm)
| Pressure | Force (both ways) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 881 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 1234 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 180 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 ACED50X15 Is Used
Press-fit nesting fixture
The symmetric 881.2 N both ways at 0.5 MPa lets one ACED50X15 press a bearing into a housing on the forward rod and eject the finished part with the rear rod, halving station count on a compact machining line.
Bi-directional conveyor stopper
A 15 mm stroke is ideal for a pop-up stop or divert blade on a packaging conveyor: the through-rod resists the blade's side load and the fixed TPU bumpers quiet the rapid 30-500 mm/s cycling.
Lab sample shuttle
Short-travel sample trays between two assay stations slide on a 15 mm stroke; the rear rod carries a flag that trips a CMSE or DMSE switch when the optional -S magnet is ordered.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED50X15 the Right Cylinder?
At 50 mm bore this sits mid-range: step down to the ACED32X15 class for 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa, or up to the ACED63X15 for 1458.1 N if your clamp needs more muscle. Stroke 15 mm is well inside the 250 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it ships as a standard build. Remember the piston will drift if air is lost - for a held load pair it with a rod lock or pilot check valve. Mount it on FA/FB flanges, LB feet or FTC brackets with I/Y rod knuckles, and add the -S magnet code only if you want 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 ACED50X15 FAQ
Yes - because a rod exits both covers, both strokes use the rod-side area. At 0.5 MPa you get 881.2 N, at 0.7 MPa you get 1233.7 N, and the maximum at 1.0 MPa is 179.7 kgf, identical push and pull. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, speed 30-500 mm/s, air filtered to 40 um, -20 to +70 C.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder - about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder - with a hard-anodized aluminium body, 16 mm hard-chrome S45C rod, M10x1.5 female rod thread and 1/8" PT ports. Fixed TPU bumpers at both ends absorb end-of-stroke impact but never lock or hold a load. Mount with FA/FB flanges, LB feet or FTC brackets plus I/Y knuckles, and order the -S code if you want the optional magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches.
