Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED50X50S
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED50X50S 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 ACED50X50S
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED50X50S pushes a 16 mm hard-chromed rod out of BOTH covers, so thrust is identical on every stroke: 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 1233.7 N at 0.7 MPa in either direction. The through-rod resists rotation and side load, and the rear rod end doubles as a handy mount for a sensor flag or a symmetric fixture plate. This S-coded unit carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clipped straight onto the body slots.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into tight packaging heads and test rigs. At 0.5 MPa plan on roughly 529 N of usable work, enough to lift about 45 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock, the hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C rod handle 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) at 30-500 mm/s, and ports are 1/8" PT with an M10x1.5 female rod 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 ACED50X50S Is Used
Packaging head press
The 881.2 N symmetric thrust seals carton flaps or pushes trays at 30-500 mm/s inside a guard where a full-length profile cylinder will not fit.
Test rig actuator
Equal force in both directions makes the through-rod ideal for tension-compression test fixtures, with CMSE switches reporting end positions via the fitted magnet.
Counter-balanced slide
A rod on each cover lets one end carry the tool plate and the other a counterweight or sensor flag on a 50 mm stroke indexing slide.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED50X50S the Right Cylinder?
At 881.2 N per direction, the 50 mm bore sits between the 40 mm class (571.8 N) and the 63 mm class (1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa), so step down for lighter clamping or up for heavier presses. Remember this double-rod cylinder does not hold position if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check for a suspended load. Foot (LB), flange (FA/FB) and FTC brackets bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the fitted -S magnet means CMSE / DMSE switches work out of the box.
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 ACED50X50S FAQ
Output is equal both ways because a rod exits each cover: 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 1233.7 N at 0.7 MPa, with a peak of 179.7 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Speed range is 30-500 mm/s on air filtered to 40 um, pressure 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), temperature -20 to +70 C. Ports are 1/8" PT and the rod thread is M10x1.5 female; the max standard stroke for this bore is 250 mm.
The S in the code means the optional -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches mount directly in the body slots for end-of-stroke signalling. FA/FB flanges, LB feet and FTC brackets attach to the standard ISO 21287 face, and the fixed TPU bumpers at both ends soften the stroke ends without any adjustment.
