The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED50X45B 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 ACED50X45B pushes a 16 mm hard-chromed rod out of BOTH covers, so thrust is identical on the extend and return strokes. At 0.5 MPa the 50 mm bore delivers 881.2 N each way (1233.7 N at 0.7 MPa), and the through-rod resists rotation and side load while giving a symmetric mounting face. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it drops into tight jigs and guarded gantries.
The hard-anodized aluminium body carries a roller-burnished bore, the S45C rod ends in a male thread (the B code), and fixed TPU bumpers absorb end-of-stroke energy at both ends. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s over 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi). Note: no magnet is fitted on this code, so position sensing needs the optional -S version with 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).
| ACED | ISO 21287 compact cylinder (double-rod). |
|---|---|
| 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 (double rod, 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 symmetric 881.2 N thrust both ways suits pressing bronze bushings into pump housings on a bench fixture, with the 45 mm stroke matching typical press depth.
A rod on each cover lets the through-rod drive a conveyor cross-slide with equal force in both travel directions and no rod rotation to skew the carriage.
The 45 mm stroke is well inside the 250 mm standard range for this bore. This B-code unit has a male rod thread and PT ports; flange (FA/FB), foot (LB) and FTC brackets bolt to the ISO 21287 face. Like any plain double-rod cylinder it will drift if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check for held loads.
Quick checklist
Because a rod exits both covers, force is EQUAL in both directions (rod-side area): 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 45 mm stroke is a standard stroke for the 50 mm bore (max standard 250 mm).
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a hard-anodized aluminium body (about 50% shorter mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder), an S45C hard-chrome-plated 16 mm rod with male thread (B code), 1/8" PT ports and fixed TPU bumpers at both ends. Sensing is not fitted on this code: order the -S variant to get the optional magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches, and confirm exact dimensions from the datasheet.
