Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED50X250
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED50X250 is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 250mm 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 ACED50X250
A double acting ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACED50X250 delivers 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa in either direction, because both strokes work on the rod-side area. The 50 mm bore reaches 1233.7 N at 0.7 MPa, and the 250 mm stroke sits at the top of the standard range for this bore. Its hard-anodized aluminium body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder of the same stroke, so it fits into tight guarding and slide assemblies that a full-length body cannot.
The through-rod resists rotation and carries side load better than a single rod, and the rear rod end makes a handy sensor-flag mount. A fixed TPU bumper at each cover absorbs end-of-stroke shock. Plan on roughly 529 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 45 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Ports are 1/8", the rod thread is female M10x1.5, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s. The optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches; without it no sensing is possible.

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 ACED50X250 Is Used
Bottling line pusher arms
The 250 mm stroke sweeps bottles across a conveyor lane, and the equal 881.2 N force gives the same push and return speed profile at 0.5 MPa.
Twin-sided fixture clamping
A rod at each cover clamps a machined housing from both sides in one body, with about 529 N of practical holding force per side at 0.5 MPa.
Z-axis lift on a pick station
The through-rod keeps a vacuum plate from twisting during a 250 mm vertical move, lifting parts of roughly 45 kg with a 2:1 margin.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED50X250 the Right Cylinder?
At 881.2 N per direction, this bore covers medium clamping and lifting jobs; step down to the 40 mm bore (571.8 N) for lighter loads or up to the 63 mm bore (1458.1 N) when you need more margin. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check for a held load. FA/FB flanges, LB feet and FTC brackets bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and I/Y rod knuckles suit the 16 mm rod. Order the -S code if CMSE / DMSE position sensing is needed.
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 ACED50X250 FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, force is equal in both directions: 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 1233.7 N at 0.7 MPa, on the rod-side area. Peak output 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 a 250 mm stroke on the 50 mm bore.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a hard-anodized aluminium body, S45C hard-chrome-plated 16 mm rod, and a fixed TPU bumper at each cover. The body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. Sensing requires the optional -S magnet code; only then can CMSE / DMSE switches be mounted on the body slots. Without -S there is no magnet in the piston.
