The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED50X35S is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 35mm 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.
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED50X35S pushes a 50 mm bore through a 35 mm stroke with a rod leaving both covers. Because each side of the piston sees the rod-side area, output is a matched 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa in either direction - useful for clamping, syncing or pushing parts back the way they came. The through-rod also resists rotation and carries a sensor flag on the rear end if your fixture needs one.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome plated rod runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-500 mm/s, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight gantries and guarding. As a rule of thumb, plan on roughly 528 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa - about 54 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. This -S model carries the magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches can be clipped straight onto the body.

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).
| ACED | ISO 21287 compact cylinder (double-rod). |
|---|---|
| 50 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×35 | 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 (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 matched 881.2 N in both directions lets one cylinder press a bushing home on the forward stroke and eject the part on the return, halving station count on a small assembly cell.
With a rod at each cover, the ACED50X35S drives a symmetric cross-slide that resists rotation without external guides, moving filled cartons between a checkweigher and a case packer.
The fitted magnet works with CMSE or DMSE switches to confirm clamp and unclamp states before the machining cycle starts, cutting misload scrap on palletized fixtures.
At 881.2 N per direction, bore 50 sits between the 63 mm size (1458.1 N) and the 40 mm size (571.8 N) - step up if your jig needs more clamp margin, down if the load is light and space is tighter. The 35 mm stroke is well inside the 250 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it ships as a catalogue item. The female M10x1.5 rod thread takes standard rod knuckles (I or Y) and the ISO 21287 face accepts FA/FB flanges, LB feet or FTC brackets. Remember that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put.
Quick checklist
Yes - the double-rod design exposes the rod-side area on both strokes, 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 range 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, fluid air filtered to 40 um.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which matters inside guarding or between fixture plates. The S in ACED50X35S means the magnet is fitted, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount directly on the body slots for end-of-stroke signals. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs stroke-end impact, and FA/FB flange, LB foot or FTC brackets bolt to the standard face.
