About the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED50X40B
The ACED50X40B is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to the ISO 21287 short-body format. Its 50 mm bore delivers 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 1233.7 N at 0.7 MPa, equal in both directions because a 16 mm rod exits each cover and both strokes work on the rod-side area. The male rod thread (B code) bolts straight to tooling, and the through-rod resists rotation and side load while the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. Running on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at 30-500 mm/s, it suits fast, symmetric push-pull work.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome-plated rod keeps wear low, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight guarding and fixtures. FA/FB flanges, LB feet and FTC brackets mount on the standard face; the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches, and this code has no magnet fitted.

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 ACED50X40B Is Used
Symmetric jig clamping
The male-threaded 16 mm rod on both covers lets one cylinder clamp a machined aluminium bracket from two sides with equal 881.2 N force at 0.5 MPa, keeping fixture pressure balanced.
Push-pull on packaging lines
Equal force in both directions at 30-500 mm/s makes the ACED50X40B a fit for reciprocating carton pushers where the return stroke needs the same 881.2 N as the extend stroke.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED50X40B the Right Cylinder?
Size against neighbours: the 40 mm bore gives 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa if your load is lighter, while the 63 mm bore reaches 1458.1 N if you need more. At 40 mm stroke this model sits well inside the 250 mm maximum standard stroke for bore 50. Note that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check for held loads. If you need position signals, order the -S version to get the magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches.
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 ACED50X40B FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it produces 881.2 N, and at 0.7 MPa it produces 1233.7 N - identical in both directions because the double-rod design uses the rod-side area on each stroke. The maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 179.7 kgf. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, freeing space in tight fixtures. The B code gives a male thread on both 16 mm rods, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets bolt to the standard face. The optional -S magnet (not fitted on this code) allows CMSE / DMSE switch mounting.
