Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED50X15S
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED50X15S 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.

About the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED50X15S
The ACED50X15S is a double acting, double-rod ISO 21287 compact cylinder: a 16 mm piston rod exits both covers, so the 50 mm bore delivers an identical 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa in each direction because both strokes work on the rod-side area. At 0.7 MPa that rises to 1233.7 N either way, with a peak of about 179.7 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 15 mm stroke suits short clamp-and-return motions at 30-500 mm/s.
The short body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight fixtures where a full-length body will not. A hard-anodized aluminium body carries an S45C hard-chrome-plated rod, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, while the back-end rod can carry a sensor flag. As an -S model the magnet is fitted, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount directly in the body slots. In practice, plan on about 529 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts roughly 45 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

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 ACED50X15S Is Used
Press-side part ejection
The 15 mm stroke and 881.2 N per side make the ACED50X15S a compact ejector that pushes stamped or moulded parts off a nest and retracts with the same force.
Symmetric workpiece clamping
Equal force in both directions lets one rod clamp a bracket while the back rod carries a sensor flag, all inside the space of a short ISO 21287 body.
Filling-head lift on packaging lines
With about 45 kg of vertical lift capacity at a 2:1 margin, the through-rod raises and lowers a small filler or capping head synchronously at 30-500 mm/s.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED50X15S the Right Cylinder?
For a 15 mm stroke needing about 880 N per side, the 50 mm bore fits; if the load is lighter, a 40 mm bore gives 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa, and a 63 mm bore raises it to 1458.1 N. Remember this cylinder drifts if air is lost - for a held load add a rod lock or pilot check. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets plus I/Y rod knuckles bolt to the ISO 21287 face; PT ports and the female M10x1.5 rod thread come as coded.
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 ACED50X15S FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design means both strokes use the rod-side area, so force is equal either way: 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 1233.7 N at 0.7 MPa, peaking near 179.7 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof rating, on air filtered to 40 um, from -20 to +70 C.
The ISO 21287 body is about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end to soften the stroke ends. Because this is the -S version, the magnet is fitted, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clipped into the body slots to signal end positions.
