Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED50X30B
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED50X30B is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 30mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body.

About the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED50X30B
The ACED50X30B is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to the ISO 21287 short-body format. A 16 mm rod exits both covers, so the 50 mm bore delivers the same 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa (1233.7 N at 0.7 MPa) on every stroke, and the through-rod resists rotation and side load while the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. With a 30 mm stroke it fits clamping stations and lift positions where a full-length body would not.
The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it drops into tight jigs, guards and gantries. The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a roller-burnished bore, the S45C rod is hard-chrome plated, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy.

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 ACED50X30B Is Used
Press-fit clamping of aluminium housings
The symmetric 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa in both directions suits a 30 mm clamp-and-release station on an electronics assembly bench, with the through-rod keeping the tool plate square under side load.
Indexing fixture on a CNC fixture plate
The short ISO 21287 body takes about half the length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it bolts between fixture posts on a milling table where space behind the clamp is limited.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED50X30B the Right Cylinder?
At 50 mm bore you sit mid-range: the 40 mm ACED gives 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa if your load is lighter, while the 63 mm ACED steps up to 1458.1 N for heavier clamping. This B version has a male rod thread, so rod accessories bolt straight on. Remember that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - for a held load add a rod lock or pilot check. Mounting brackets for the ISO 21287 face (FA/FB flange, LB foot, FTC) plus I/Y rod knuckles bolt straight on, and if you need end-of-stroke sensing, order the -S code instead: without it there is no magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches cannot be fitted.
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 ACED50X30B FAQ
Yes - because a rod exits both covers, both strokes use the rod-side area of the 50 mm bore. Output 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, and the port is 1/8" (PT).
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end decelerates the piston at the ends of travel. Sensing is possible only if you order the optional -S magnet version, which accepts CMSE / DMSE switches; this model without the S code has no magnet, so no switch can be mounted.
