The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED50X200 is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 200mm 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 ACED50X200 is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to ISO 21287: a piston rod exits both covers of the hard-anodized aluminium body, so thrust is identical on the extend and retract strokes. At 0.5 MPa the 50 mm bore delivers 881.2 N in either direction (1233.7 N at 0.7 MPa), because both strokes work on the rod-side area. The 16 mm S45C hard-chrome rod runs through the 200 mm stroke at 30-500 mm/s, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbing end-of-stroke shock.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of 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 or a symmetric tool. As a rule of thumb, plan on roughly 529 N (about 54 kg) of usable work force at 0.5 MPa, which corresponds to lifting a part of around 45 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), filtered to 40 um, from -20 to 70 C.

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. |
| ×200 | 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 equal 881.2 N force in both directions lets a machining fixture clamp and release a steel workpiece with identical pressure, so cycle repeatability does not depend on stroke direction.
With a rod on each end of the 200 mm stroke, a packaging machine can guide a 45 kg press head vertically with a 2:1 margin, the rear rod doubling as a mount for a position flag.
On a bottling line transfer conveyor, the through-rod pushes trays off the belt at either end position, with the TPU bumpers softening each stop at speeds up to 500 mm/s.
For lighter duty, the 40 mm bore ACED gives 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa; for heavier work step up to the 63 mm bore at 1458.1 N. This 50 mm model sits between them with 881.2 N both ways. Note that a plain double-rod cylinder will drift if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must be held. Mount with FA/FB flange, LB foot or FTC brackets plus I/Y rod knuckles on the ISO 21287 face. This code has no magnet; order the -S variant if you need CMSE / DMSE switch detection, and specify G thread if you need BSP ports instead of PT.
Quick checklist
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 and 1233.7 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum of 179.7 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the 50 mm bore takes a 1/8" port with a female M10x1.5 rod thread.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder whose short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with threaded aluminium covers and a fixed TPU bumper at each end of the 200 mm stroke. Position sensing requires the optional -S magnet code - this unit has no magnet fitted, so CMSE or DMSE switches will only work if you order the -S version. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC mounts bolt straight to the standard face.
