About the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED50X160S
The ACED50X160S is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to the ISO 21287 short-body format. A 16 mm rod exits both covers, so the output force is equal in both directions: 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 1233.7 N at 0.7 MPa, on the rod-side area each way. The 50 mm bore carries the S magnet option, so CMSE or DMSE switches can be fitted for end-of-stroke sensing straight out of the box.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome-plated rod shrugs off wear in daily cycling, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end takes the end-of-stroke shock. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into tight machine frames and gantries. As a working rule, plan on roughly 529 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, and the through-rod will lift about 45 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s over 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).

Where the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED50X160S Is Used
Symmetric push-pull press fixture
A rod on each cover means the 881.2 N clamping force is identical on approach and return, ideal for a small stamping or riveting jig where both strokes must do real work.
Anti-rotate transfer slide on a packaging line
The through-rod resists rotation and side load, keeping a product pusher square across a 160 mm stroke at conveyor-cycle speeds up to 500 mm/s.
Gantry pick station with position feedback
The fitted -S magnet lets CMSE or DMSE switches report both end positions on a compact Z-axis, and the back-end rod can carry a sensor flag for mid-stroke triggering.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED50X160S the Right Cylinder?
At 881.2 N per direction at 0.5 MPa, the 50 mm bore sits between the 40 mm bore (571.8 N) and the 63 mm bore (1458.1 N); step up to 63 mm if your tooling needs more margin, or down to 40 mm to save space. The 160 mm stroke is well inside the 250 mm standard limit for this bore, so no made-to-order build is needed. Remember that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets plus I/Y rod knuckles bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face, and the fitted -S magnet pairs with CMSE / DMSE switches.
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 ACED50X160S FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, both strokes use the rod-side area and the force is equal both ways: 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 1233.7 N at 0.7 MPa. At the full 1.0 MPa rating the peak output is about 179.7 kgf. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits shallow machine frames. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount directly in the body slots. FA/FB flanges, LB foot and FTC brackets plus I/Y knuckles attach to the standard face, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke impact.
