The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED50X175 is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 175mm 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.
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED50X175 pushes a 16 mm rod out of BOTH covers, so its 50 mm bore delivers the same 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa (1233.7 N at 0.7 MPa) on every stroke. The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, while the back-end rod can carry a sensor flag on pick-and-place gantries.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome plated rod runs at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and 30-500 mm/s, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end. Its short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight guarding where a full-length body will not fit. In practice the 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa means you can plan on roughly 529 N of real work, and with a 2:1 margin it lifts about 45 kg vertically.

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.
| 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).

|---|---|
| 50 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×175 | Stroke length in mm. |
| S | Optional built-in magnet for CMSE / DMSE sensors (omit for no magnet). |
| B | Rod type: B = male thread; blank = female thread. |
ACE-family variants: ACE (double acting), ASE / ATE (single acting push / pull), ACED (double rod), ACEJ (adjustable stroke), TACE / TACED (non-rotating twin-guide yoke). Mounting accessories: FA / FB flange, LB foot, CA / CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, FTC; plus I and Y knuckles. Thread PT (blank) / G.
The through-rod gives a mounting point on both covers, so a slide carriage can be driven from either end at 881.2 N while the rod resists rotation over the 175 mm travel.
Mount the fixture on the front rod and a CMSE / DMSE switch flag on the rear rod (with the optional -S magnet) to confirm clamped position inside a compact welding jig.
With about 45 kg of vertical lift capacity at a 2:1 margin, the 50 mm bore handles ejection or stamping of aluminium housings at up to 500 mm/s.
At 881.2 N per side 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), so step up to 63 mm if your jig needs more margin at the same pressure. The 175 mm stroke is within the 250 mm standard range for this bore, so no made-to-order build is required. Remember that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check for held loads. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets plus I/Y rod knuckles bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and order the -S code if you want the optional magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches - without -S there is no magnet.
Quick checklist
Yes - a 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 in EITHER direction, 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" port depends only on the 50 mm bore.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder whose short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a hard-anodized aluminium body, S45C hard-chrome rod and a fixed TPU bumper at each end. Sensing is not fitted as standard: order the -S code to get the optional magnet, which lets CMSE / DMSE switches read position along the body slots.
