Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED50X30S
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED50X30S 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. 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 ACED50X30S
A double acting, double-rod ISO 21287 compact cylinder, the ACED50X30S pushes a 16 mm rod out of both covers, so its 50 mm bore delivers an equal 881.2 N in each direction at 0.5 MPa (1233.7 N at 0.7 MPa). The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into tight fixtures, guarding and slide assemblies where a full-length body simply will not fit. This -S version carries the optional magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clipped onto the body for end-of-stroke signalling.
The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag or a second tooling plate. A hard-anodized aluminium body with a roller-burnished bore runs against an S45C hard-chrome-plated rod, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. In practice, plan on roughly 529 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa (about 60% of the rating), which corresponds to lifting a part of around 45 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s across 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).

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 ACED50X30S Is Used
Gantry pick-and-place
The 30 mm stroke and equal 881.2 N push/pull suit a Z-axis gripper on a packaging gantry, where the short ISO 21287 body keeps the Z-slide stack low and the rear rod carries a tooling plate.
Reciprocating slide feed
A through-rod feeding parts between two stations on an assembly line benefits from identical force in both directions and the anti-rotation stiffness of a rod at each end.
Press-fit verification station
With the fitted magnet driving CMSE or DMSE switches, a bench-top press fixture can confirm both end positions on each 30 mm cycle, with the TPU bumpers absorbing the stops.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED50X30S the Right Cylinder?
At 881.2 N per direction at 0.5 MPa, the 50 mm bore sits mid-range: drop to a 40 mm ACED (571.8 N) for lighter pick-and-place loads, or step up to a 63 mm bore (1458.1 N) when the work needs more muscle. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve for a held load. The female M10x1.5 rod thread and 1/8" PT ports accept standard fittings, and FA/FB flanges, LB feet or FTC brackets bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face. If you also need position sensing on a second unit without the magnet, order that one without the -S code.
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 ACED50X30S FAQ
Yes - because a rod exits both covers, both strokes use the rod-side area, so force is equal either way: 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, and the bore is 50 mm with a 16 mm rod on each end.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a hard-anodized aluminium body about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, an S45C hard-chrome-plated rod at both ends, female M10x1.5 rod threads, 1/8" PT ports and a fixed TPU bumper at each end. The -S code means the optional magnet is fitted on this model, so CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be mounted in the body slots. Note it does not hold position if air is lost - use a rod lock or pilot check for a held load.
