Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED50X50
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED50X50 is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 50mm 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 ACED50X50
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED50X50 has a 50 mm bore and a 50 mm stroke with a 16 mm piston rod leaving BOTH covers. Because each side of the piston sees the rod-side area, output force is identical in both directions: 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 1233.7 N at 0.7 MPa. The through-rod resists rotation and side load, gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s.
The hard-anodized aluminium body is roller-burnished for wear life, with an S45C hard-chrome plated rod and threaded aluminium covers for quick service. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight jigs and gantries. For planning, treat roughly 529 N (about 0.6 of the 0.5 MPa rating) as the usable working force, which corresponds to lifting about 45 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Ports are 1/8" and the rod end carries a female M10x1.5 thread.

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 ACED50X50 Is Used
Symmetric press fixture
The equal 881.2 N force in both directions lets one ACED50X50 press and retract a locating pin in a machining fixture with identical push and pull, keeping cycle timing predictable at 30-500 mm/s.
Reciprocating conveyor pusher
A rod on each cover means the rear rod can drive a guide while the front rod pushes cartons sideways on a packaging line, with the through-rod resisting the side load of the product stream.
Lift-and-lower gantry slide
On a small assembly gantry, the 50 mm stroke raises and lowers a 45 kg fixture plate vertically with a 2:1 force margin, and the short ISO 21287 body fits inside the gantry frame where a full-length profile cylinder would not.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED50X50 the Right Cylinder?
At 881.2 N per direction at 0.5 MPa, the 50 mm bore suits clamping and pressing jobs in the 50-80 kg class. Step down to the 40 mm bore (571.8 N) for lighter fixtures, or up to the 63 mm bore (1458.1 N) when the load grows. Remember this cylinder drifts if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must stay put. Bolt FA/FB flanges, LB feet or FTC brackets straight to the ISO 21287 face, and order the -S code if you need the optional magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches; without -S there is no magnet.
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 ACED50X50 FAQ
Yes - this is a double-rod cylinder, so a 16 mm rod exits both covers and both strokes use the rod-side area. Output is 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 1233.7 N at 0.7 MPa in EITHER direction, 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, fluid air filtered to 40 um, temperature -20 to +70 C.
The body is a hard-anodized aluminium ISO 21287 compact unit about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end that only decelerates the piston at stroke ends - it never holds or brakes a load. FA/FB flanges, LB feet and FTC brackets bolt to the standard face. Position sensing needs the optional -S magnet code; only then can CMSE / DMSE switches be slid into the body slots. Rod end thread is female M10x1.5, ports are 1/8" PT.
