The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED50X175SB 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.
The ACED50X175SB is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to ISO 21287: a 16 mm hard-chrome S45C rod exits BOTH covers, so thrust is identical on the extend and return strokes. At the bore 50 size that is 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 1233.7 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction, with a peak of 179.7 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so a 175 mm stroke still fits shallow jigs and guarded gantries.
Because the through-rod resists rotation and side load, it suits symmetric tooling: the rear rod can carry a sensor flag or a second fixture plate while the front rod does the work. The male rod thread (B code) takes standard rod accessories, the 1/8" PT port feeds both chambers, and the fitted -S magnet lets CMSE / DMSE switches report end positions. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s over 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).

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).

ACE-family variants: ACE (double acting), ASE / ATE (single acting push / pull), ACED (double rod), ACEJ (double rod, 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 lets one 175 mm stroke press a bearing into a housing on the front rod while the rear rod ejects the finished part, with 881.2 N available on each side at 0.5 MPa.
Equal force in both directions means the same 1233.7 N at 0.7 MPa pushes cartons off the belt on extend and retracts the gate with identical authority, and the fitted magnet feeds CMSE switch signals to the PLC.
A rear rod acting as a guide resists the side load of clamping shrink-wrapped pallets, while the roughly 45 kg vertical-lift margin at 0.5 MPa covers the arm and product weight.
Size up or down by real force: the 40 mm ACED gives 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa, while the 63 mm ACED reaches 1458.1 N, so the 50 mm sits mid-range at 881.2 N both ways. The 175 mm stroke is within the 250 mm standard for this bore, so no made-to-order build is needed. Remember that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - for a held vertical load add a rod lock or pilot check valve. Mount with FA/FB flanges, LB foot or FTC brackets, and add I or Y rod knuckles on the male thread; the fitted -S magnet pairs with CMSE / DMSE switches for position feedback.
Quick checklist
Yes - the double-rod design exposes the rod-side area on both strokes, so output is equal either way: 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa, 1233.7 N at 0.7 MPa, and up to 179.7 kgf at the 1.0 MPa maximum. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, running at 30-500 mm/s on air filtered to 40 um.
The hard-anodized aluminium body is about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so the 175 mm stroke fits compact fixtures. This version carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clipped anywhere along the body slots for end-of-stroke or mid-stroke detection. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, and FA/FB flange, LB foot or FTC mounting bolts straight to the standard face.
