Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED50X160SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED50X160SB 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 ACED50X160SB
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACED50X160SB pushes 881.2 N and pulls the same 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa because each stroke works on the rod-side area. The 50 mm bore runs on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) air filtered to 40 um, at speeds of 30-500 mm/s, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end of the 160 mm travel.
The hard-anodized aluminium body keeps the mounting length about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight machine frames and gantries. The through-rod resists rotation and side load, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. This -S version carries the magnet, so CMSE or DMSE switches mount directly on the body slots.

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 ACED50X160SB Is Used
Reciprocating conveyor pushers
The symmetric through-rod pushes cartons off a line and retracts with identical 881.2 N force at 0.5 MPa, so the same stroke quality is guaranteed in both directions at 30-500 mm/s.
Position-verified gate and door actuators
The fitted magnet drives CMSE or DMSE switches at both ends of the 160 mm stroke, confirming open and closed states on machine guards or indexing gates.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED50X160SB the Right Cylinder?
Size up or down by force: the 40 mm double-rod bore gives 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa, while the 63 mm bore reaches 1458.1 N. If your clamp or lift needs more than about 530 N of usable force at 0.5 MPa, this 50 mm bore is the right step. The 160 mm stroke sits inside the 250 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it ships as a standard build. Male rod thread (B code) with a female M10x1.5 option available on request, PT ports, and FA/FB flange, LB foot or FTC brackets bolt to the ISO 21287 face. 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.
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 ACED50X160SB FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design means a piston rod exits both covers, so both strokes use the rod-side area. Output is 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 1233.7 N at 0.7 MPa, equal in push and pull, with a maximum of 179.7 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 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, freeing space in tight frames. The -S code on this model means the magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches clip into the body slots for end-of-stroke signalling. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, and FA/FB, LB or FTC mounting bolts straight to the standard face.
