Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED50X160B
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED50X160B is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 160mm 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 ACED50X160B
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED50X160B pushes a 16 mm hard-chrome rod out of BOTH covers, so thrust is identical on every stroke: 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 1233.7 N at 0.7 MPa, whichever end you feed. The male rod thread (B code) bolts straight to your tooling, and a fixed TPU pad at each end takes the end-of-stroke hit. Running range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at 30-500 mm/s.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why this bore class fits sliding gates and press fixtures that a full-length body cannot enter. The through-rod also resists rotation and lets the rear rod carry a flag or a second load. Note this unit has no magnet fitted; order the -S code if you later need CMSE / DMSE switch position feedback.

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 ACED50X160B Is Used
Press fixture clamping
Equal 881.2 N force on approach and return lets one ACED50X160B both clamp a steel bracket and eject it, with the male thread taking a swivel knuckle.
Conveyor gate diverter
A 160 mm stroke swings pusher gates on packaging lines; the through-rod resists side load from misaligned cartons and keeps the gate square.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED50X160B the Right Cylinder?
At 50 mm bore you sit mid-range: step down to ACED40 for 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa, or up to ACED63 for 1458.1 N when the load grows. The 160 mm stroke is well inside the 250 mm standard limit for this bore, so no made-to-order build is needed. Remember the piston will drift if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check for held loads. FA/FB flanges, LB feet and FTC brackets mount on the ISO 21287 face, and I/Y rod knuckles suit the male thread.
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 ACED50X160B FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design means both strokes use the rod-side area, so output is equal either way: 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa, 1233.7 N at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum of 179.7 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure 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 a 1/8" port and a fixed TPU pad at each end of travel. Switches are not possible on this unit as ordered because it carries no magnet; the optional -S magnet code enables CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches.
