Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED50X40SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED50X40SB is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 40mm 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 ACED50X40SB
The ACED50X40SB 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 an equal 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 1233.7 N at 0.7 MPa in each direction - both strokes work on the rod-side area, so there is no push/pull imbalance. The male rod thread (B code) and the fitted -S magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches come as ordered on this variant.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome-plated rod saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it drops into tight jigs and gantries. At 0.5 MPa the 881.2 N rating translates to roughly 529 N of practical working force, or about 45 kg lifted vertically once a 2:1 margin is applied. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s over 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 ACED50X40SB Is Used
Symmetric press stations
The equal 881.2 N output in both directions suits a 40 mm-stroke marking or staking head on an electronics assembly line, where the return stroke needs the same force as the push.
Reciprocating transfer slides
A rod on each cover lets the through-rod drive a slide from either side on packaging machinery, resisting rotation without external guides at 30-500 mm/s.
Position-flagged fixtures
With the -S magnet fitted, CMSE or DMSE switches track both end positions of a gantry pick-and-place arm, and the rear rod doubles as a mounting point for the flag bracket.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED50X40SB the Right Cylinder?
Size this 50 mm bore when your fixture needs 881.2 N per direction at 0.5 MPa; step down to the 40 mm bore (571.8 N) for lighter clamping or up to the 63 mm bore (1458.1 N) for heavier press-fit work. 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. The through-rod resists rotation and carries a sensor flag on the rear end, and FA/FB flange, LB foot or FTC brackets bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face.
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 ACED50X40SB FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design exposes the rod-side area on both strokes, so output is identical each way: 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 1233.7 N at 0.7 MPa, peaking at 179.7 kgf (1797 N) at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with air filtered to 40 um.
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 absorbs end-of-stroke impact. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE and DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount directly in the body slots; FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets attach to the standard face.
