About the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED50X15B
The ACED50X15B is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to the ISO 21287 short-body format: a 50 mm bore with just 15 mm of stroke, a 16 mm hard-chrome-plated S45C rod leaving BOTH covers, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end. Because both strokes act on the rod-side area, output force is identical in extend and retract - 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 1233.7 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction. The male rod thread (B code) bolts straight to your tooling, and the through-rod resists rotation and side load while the rear rod can carry a sensor flag.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with roller-burnished bore saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight fixtures, guards and pick stations. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed range 30-500 mm/s, and the 1/8" PT ports depend only on the 50 mm bore. Note there is no magnet fitted on this code - order the -S variant if you need CMSE / DMSE switch positions.

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 ACED50X15B Is Used
Short-throw press fixture
The 15 mm stroke and 881.2 N of symmetric force make this a fit for a punch or marking head on a bracket-forming jig, where the male rod thread takes the tool directly and the short body keeps the die set low.
Push-pull gate actuator
With a rod on each cover, one cylinder can drive a sliding conveyor gate or diverter in both directions at equal 1233.7 N force at 0.7 MPa, replacing a single-rod unit plus a return spring arrangement.
Pallet-stacker part clamp
In a warehouse assembly cell, the through-rod clamps battery trays or axle brackets symmetrically; the rear rod doubles as a mount for a position flag, and the compact body fits inside the guard envelope.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED50X15B the Right Cylinder?
At 50 mm bore this cylinder delivers 881.2 N both ways at 0.5 MPa - step down to a 40 mm bore (571.8 N) for lighter clamping, or up to 63 mm (1458.1 N) when the load grows. The 15 mm stroke suits short-throw jobs; bore 50 accepts standard strokes up to 250 mm if a longer version is needed later. Remember that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check for a held load. Mount it with FA/FB flange, LB foot or FTC brackets plus I/Y rod knuckles on the ISO 21287 face, and choose the -S code if CMSE / DMSE sensing is required - this base model 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 ACED50X15B FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design means both strokes use the rod-side area, so force is equal extending and retracting: 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa, 1233.7 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum of 179.7 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 1/8" PT ports are fixed by the 50 mm bore.
The ISO 21287 short body cuts mounting length by roughly half compared with an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a hard-anodized aluminium body and TPU bumpers at both ends to absorb end-of-stroke energy. Switches are possible only on the -S version: this base ACED50X15B has no magnet, so order ACED50X15BS to enable CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches along the body slots.
