The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED50X25B is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 25mm 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.
Double acting and double-rod, the ACED50X25B pushes 881.2 N in BOTH directions at 0.5 MPa (1233.7 N at 0.7 MPa) because a 16 mm rod exits each cover and every stroke works on the rod-side area. The 50 mm bore with a short 25 mm stroke suits tight clamping and press-fit stations. Its ISO 21287 compact body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it drops into guarded gantries and fixture plates where a full-length cylinder will not fit.
The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a hard-chrome plated S45C rod, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock. The through-rod resists rotation and side load, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag on a transfer slide. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, fluid air filtered to 40 um.

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. |
| ×25 | 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 (double rod, 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 25 mm stroke seats a bearing or bushing into a housing on an electronics assembly cell, with equal 881.2 N force on the return stroke to eject the part.
A rod on each end drives a pick-and-place slide on a packaging line, the rear rod carrying a position flag while the through-rod resists rotation at 30-500 mm/s.
At 881.2 N per direction, the 50 mm bore sits between the 40 mm bore (571.8 N) and the 63 mm bore (1458.1 N) at 0.5 MPa - step down for lighter clamps, up for heavier press stations. The B code gives a male M10x1.5 rod thread on both ends for direct knuckle attachment. This unit has no magnet; add the optional -S code if CMSE / DMSE switches are needed later. For a held load with air off, pair it with a rod lock or pilot check - the cylinder itself will drift. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets bolt to the standard ISO 21287 face.
Quick checklist
Yes - the double-rod design means both strokes use the rod-side area, so force is equal both ways: 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 pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C, air filtered to 40 um.
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 standard face. Switches are possible only when you order the optional -S magnet code, which enables CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches; this non-S model has no magnet fitted. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy.
