The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED50X45 is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 45mm 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 ACED50X45 pushes a 50 mm bore through a 45 mm stroke with a rod leaving BOTH covers, so thrust is identical on each stroke - 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 1233.7 N at 0.7 MPa either way. The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. Its short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs and gantries.
At 0.5 MPa the usable push is roughly 529 N once you plan at 60% of rating, which lifts about 45 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin - enough for a loaded pallet fixture or a small press head. 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 shock. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s over 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi). FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches.

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).

|---|---|
| 50 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×45 | 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 881.2 N stroke in both directions crimps terminals and small inserts on an electronics assembly bench, with the 45 mm throw matching shallow die sets.
A symmetric through-rod kicks bottles or cartons across a conveyor guide at 30-500 mm/s, and the rear rod accepts a flag for position feedback.
Clamps machined aluminium housings in a milling fixture where the short ISO 21287 body fits under the spindle clearance envelope.
At 881.2 N per direction this bore sits between the 40 mm (571.8 N) and 63 mm (1458.1 N) options at 0.5 MPa - step down when force is marginal, up when the load is heavier. The 45 mm stroke is well inside the 250 mm standard limit for bore 50, so it ships as a catalogue item. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost; add a rod lock or pilot check where a load must stay put. Order the -S code only if you need CMSE / DMSE sensing, and pick FA/FB flange, LB foot or FTC mounting plus I/Y rod knuckles to match the fixture.
Quick checklist
Because a rod exits both covers, force is equal in both directions: 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 1/8" port suits the 50 mm bore.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder whose short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets plus I/Y knuckles bolt to the standard face, and the optional -S magnet allows CMSE / DMSE switch mounting - without -S there is no magnet. The rod end is female M10x1.5.
