Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED50X50B
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED50X50B 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 ACED50X50B
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACED50X50B pushes with identical force on every stroke because both sides work on the rod-side area. At 0.5 MPa the 50 mm bore delivers 881.2 N, rising to 1233.7 N at 0.7 MPa, so the same grip or press force is available whichever end you feed. The male rod thread (B code) on each 16 mm rod bolts straight to your tooling.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into tight fixture plates and guarded cells. The through-rod resists rotation and side load, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag or a counter-grip. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s, pressure 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), and a fixed TPU bumper sits at each end. Note that without the optional -S code there is no magnet, so no CMSE or DMSE switch can be read.

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 ACED50X50B Is Used
Symmetric press station
A 50 mm stroke bench press on a PCB depaneling line uses the front rod for the punch and the rear rod to return a stripper plate, with 881.2 N delivered identically in both directions at 0.5 MPa.
Twin-grip pallet clamp
On an automotive fixture, the two 16 mm male-threaded rods each carry a clamp jaw, gripping a machined housing from both sides with equal force and resisting jaw misalignment through the through-rod.
Pusher with rear flag
A bottling conveyor diverter drives the pusher from the front rod while the back rod mounts a sensor flag; order the -S code so a DMSE switch can confirm each 50 mm push.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED50X50B the Right Cylinder?
Step down to the ACED32 (345.6 N at 0.5 MPa) for lighter clamping, or step up to the ACED63 (1458.1 N) when the load needs more muscle; the 50 mm bore at 881.2 N covers mid-range press and sync-grip work. Keep in mind this cylinder drifts when air is lost - for a held load add a rod lock or pilot check valve. FA/FB flanges, LB feet and FTC brackets bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and I/Y rod knuckles suit the male-threaded rods. If position feedback matters, order the -S variant so CMSE / DMSE switches can ride the body slots.
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 ACED50X50B FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design means both strokes use the rod-side area, so output is equal either way: 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 16 mm rods carry a male thread (B code).
The ISO 21287 hard-anodized aluminium body is about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. Switches are not ready out of the box: the magnet is the optional -S code, so order ACED50X50BS if you want CMSE or DMSE sensors on the body slots. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC mounting all bolt to the standard face.
