Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED50X225
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED50X225 is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 225mm 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 ACED50X225
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED50X225 pushes a 50 mm bore through a 225 mm stroke with a piston rod leaving both covers. Because each side works on the rod-side area, output is a matched 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 1233.7 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction. The through-rod resists rotation and modest side load, and the free back-end rod is a handy place to carry a sensor flag on a conveyor gating or clamping job.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with a roller-burnished bore pairs with an S45C hard-chrome plated rod, and fixed TPU bumpers at both ends soak up end-of-stroke shock. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight gantries and guarded cells. At 0.5 MPa the usable working force is roughly 529 N, which translates to lifting 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).

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 ACED50X225 Is Used
Conveyor gating and diverting
The symmetric through-rod drives a pusher bar or gate from either cover, delivering 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa in both travel directions to divert cartons on packaging lines.
Fixture clamping in tight cells
With about 45 kg of vertical lift capability at a 2:1 margin, the 225 mm stroke clamps machined housings in jigs where the short ISO 21287 body fits under guards.
Reciprocating lift columns
Equal force both ways suits a back-end rod carrying a position flag on a small vertical elevator or indexing column running at 30-500 mm/s.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED50X225 the Right Cylinder?
At 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa this 50 mm bore sits between the 40 mm size (571.8 N) and the 63 mm size (1458.1 N), so step down for lighter pick-and-place loads or up for heavier press-fit work. The 225 mm stroke is within the 250 mm standard limit for bore 50, 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.
This version has a female M10x1.5 rod thread and PT ports, with FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets plus I/Y rod knuckles bolting straight to the ISO 21287 face. No magnet is fitted on this code; order the -S variant if you want CMSE / DMSE switch sensing along the body.
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 ACED50X225 FAQ
It is a double-rod cylinder, so output is identical on both strokes: 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 1233.7 N at 0.7 MPa, using the rod-side area each way. Maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 179.7 kgf. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, air filtered to 40 um, speed 30-500 mm/s and -20 to +70 C.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets bolt straight to its face. Sensing needs the optional -S magnet code - this ACED50X225 has no magnet fitted, so CMSE or DMSE switches only work when that variant is ordered. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy.
