Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED50X225SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED50X225SB 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 ACED50X225SB
The ACED50X225SB is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to the ISO 21287 short-body format. A 16 mm hard-chrome-plated S45C rod exits both covers, so the 50 mm bore delivers an identical 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa (1233.7 N at 0.7 MPa) on every stroke - there is no push/pull difference because both sides see the rod-side area. The through-rod also resists rotation and side load, and the free back-end rod is a handy place to carry a sensor flag on a pick-and-place arm.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with roller-burnished bore saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is exactly what a 225 mm stroke needs to fit inside a tight gantry or guarding frame. This -S variant carries the optional magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches read position directly on the body, and the male B-code rod thread bolts straight to standard tooling.

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 ACED50X225SB Is Used
Reciprocating transfer arm
The through-rod drives a workpiece carrier forward and back with equal 881.2 N force in each direction, while the rear rod carries a flag for CMSE switch position feedback.
Bottle-capping press head
1233.7 N at 0.7 MPa presses caps onto 500 ml bottles in a beverage line; the symmetric double-rod mount keeps the head square without an anti-rotation guide.
Tray pusher on a packaging conveyor
The 225 mm stroke pushes food trays across a belt lane; the short ISO 21287 body slots under low guarding where a full-length profile cylinder cannot fit.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED50X225SB the Right Cylinder?
At 881.2 N per direction, this bore sits between the 40 mm frame (571.8 N at 0.5 MPa) and the 63 mm frame (1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa) - step down for lighter clamping, up for heavier press-fit work. The 225 mm stroke is within the 250 mm standard range for bore 50, so no made-to-order build is needed. Remember the piston will drift if air is lost: for a held vertical load add a rod lock or pilot check valve. FA/FB flanges, LB feet and FTC brackets mount on the ISO 21287 face, and the fitted -S magnet lets CMSE / DMSE switches report end positions.
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 ACED50X225SB FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design puts a 16 mm rod through both covers, so both strokes use the rod-side area. Force 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 range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, air filtered to 40 um, temperature -20 to +70 C.
This -S model carries the optional magnet, so CMSE reed or DMSE solid-state switches clip onto the magnet slots in the hard-anodized aluminium body for end-of-stroke or mid-stroke signalling. FA and FB flanges, LB feet and FTC brackets bolt to the ISO 21287 mounting face, and I or Y rod knuckles suit the male B-code thread. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs stroke-end impact; it does not lock or hold a load, so use a rod lock or pilot check where position must be kept with air off.
