The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED50X150B 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 ACED50X150B pushes a 16 mm hard-chromed S45C rod out of BOTH covers, so thrust is identical on each stroke: 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 1233.7 N at 0.7 MPa from the 50 mm bore. Because a rod exits the rear cover too, the through-rod resists rotation and light side load, and the back rod can carry a sensor flag or a symmetric fixture mount.
The short hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into tight gantries and guarding. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock, speed runs 30-500 mm/s, and the male rod thread (B code) bolts straight to standard tooling.

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 (double rod, 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 through-rod gives an identical 881.2 N pull and push, so a pick-and-place arm between two stations runs the same cycle force both ways at 30-500 mm/s.
Mount the workpiece on the front male-threaded rod and hang a flag on the rear rod; with the -S magnet a DMSE switch confirms clamp and unclamp positions.
At 881.2 N per direction, the 50 mm bore sits mid-range: step down to the 40 mm ACED (571.8 N) for lighter clamping, or up to the 63 mm bore (1458.1 N) when the load grows. The 150 mm stroke is well inside the 250 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it ships as a catalogue item. If the load must stay put when air is lost, add a rod lock or pilot check - the bumper never holds position. For position feedback, order the -S variant so CMSE / DMSE switches can ride the body. FA/FB flanges, LB feet and I/Y rod knuckles mount on the standard ISO 21287 face.
Quick checklist
It is a double-rod, double-acting cylinder, so force is equal both ways: 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 1233.7 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum of 179.7 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Both strokes use the rod-side area because a rod exits each cover. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a hard-anodized aluminium body, S45C hard-chrome-plated 16 mm rod, 1/8" PT ports and a fixed TPU bumper at each end. Switches are not fitted as standard: order the -S code to get the optional magnet, then CMSE or DMSE switches can detect position. Mounting brackets (FA/FB flange, LB foot, I/Y knuckles) bolt to the standard face.
