Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED50X250B
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED50X250B 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 ACED50X250B
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED50X250B pushes a 16 mm hard-chrome rod out of BOTH covers, so thrust is identical on every stroke: 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 1233.7 N at 0.7 MPa. The 50 mm bore reaches its full 250 mm standard stroke in a body that saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into tight packaging frames and machine guards. The through-rod resists rotation and side load, and the rear rod end can carry a sensor flag or a second tool.
The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a roller-burnished bore, the S45C rod is hard-chrome plated, and fixed TPU bumpers absorb end-of-stroke shock at both ends. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s across 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi). Note there is no magnet fitted on this code; order the -S variant if you need CMSE / DMSE switch detection.

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 ACED50X250B Is Used
Carton press-down station
The equal 881.2 N force in both directions lets one cylinder press a flap down and retract a second fixture on the rear rod, halving cycle hardware on a case-packing line.
Gantry flip fixture
A rod at each end gives a symmetric mount inside a compact gantry frame, and the rear rod can carry a flag for position checking once the -S magnet is ordered.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED50X250B the Right Cylinder?
Size up or down from this 50 mm bore: the ACED32X250 delivers 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa if your load is lighter, while the ACED63X250 gives 1458.1 N when you need more thrust at the same compact length. If the load must stay put when air is lost, pair the cylinder with a rod lock or pilot check valve, because a plain double-rod piston will drift. Mount it with FA/FB flanges, LB foot or FTC brackets on the ISO 21287 face, and choose the B male rod thread here or the female M10x1.5 version if your tooling screws on directly.
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 ACED50X250B FAQ
Yes, identical both ways because a rod exits each cover and both strokes use the rod-side area: 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa, 1233.7 N at 0.7 MPa, and up to 179.7 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, speed 30-500 mm/s, and the 250 mm stroke is the maximum standard for this bore.
The ISO 21287 short-body build saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with fixed TPU bumpers at both ends absorbing end-of-stroke energy. Sensors need the optional -S magnet code; this B-version has no magnet fitted, so CMSE / DMSE switches only work when you order ACED50X250SB. Mounting is via FA/FB flange, LB foot or FTC brackets.
