The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED50X150 is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 150mm 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.
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED50X150 pushes a 16 mm rod out of BOTH covers, so the 50 mm bore delivers the same 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa (1233.7 N at 0.7 MPa) on every stroke. The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end to absorb end-of-stroke shock. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, fluid is air filtered to 40 um.
The short hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs and gantries. Because both strokes use the rod-side area, plan on roughly 528 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which is about 45 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. The S45C hard-chrome rod and female M10x1.5 thread suit standard tooling; no magnet is fitted unless you order the optional -S code.

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.
| 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).

|---|---|
| 50 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×150 | Stroke length in mm. |
| S | Optional built-in magnet for CMSE / DMSE sensors (omit for no magnet). |
| B | Rod type: B = male thread; blank = female thread. |
ACE-family variants: ACE (double acting), ASE / ATE (single acting push / pull), ACED (double rod), ACEJ (adjustable stroke), TACE / TACED (non-rotating twin-guide yoke). Mounting accessories: FA / FB flange, LB foot, CA / CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, FTC; plus I and Y knuckles. Thread PT (blank) / G.
The symmetric through-rod carries a gripper on the front rod while the rear rod mounts a sensor flag, and the 881.2 N rod-side force both ways handles a 45 kg payload with margin inside a low-profile gantry frame.
Equal 1233.7 N at 0.7 MPa on approach and return suits pressing bronze bushings into pump housings, with the fixed TPU bumpers softening each end of the 150 mm stroke.
An LB foot mount bolts the short body alongside the belt, and the through-rod keeps the pusher bar square when nudging cartons off a packaging line at 30-500 mm/s.
At 881.2 N per side at 0.5 MPa, the 50 mm bore sits between the 40 mm (571.8 N) and 63 mm (1458.1 N) options - step down for lighter clamping, up for heavier lifts. The 150 mm stroke is well inside the 250 mm standard limit for this bore, so no made-to-order build is needed. Choose FA/FB flange, LB foot or FTC brackets plus I or Y rod knuckles to match your fixture. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check for held loads, and order the -S code if CMSE / DMSE switch sensing is required.
Quick checklist
Yes. This is a double-rod cylinder, so a 16 mm rod exits both covers and every stroke uses the rod-side area: 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 1233.7 N at 0.7 MPa, equal push and pull. At full 1.0 MPa the bore reaches about 179.7 kgf. Operating range 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 FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC mounting plus I/Y rod knuckles. Sensing needs the optional -S code, which adds the magnet that lets CMSE or DMSE switches read position; without -S no magnet is fitted. The fixed TPU bumpers at both ends absorb end-of-stroke energy.
