Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED50X5B
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED50X5B is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 5mm 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 ACED50X5B
A double acting compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACED50X5B delivers 881.2 N in each direction at 0.5 MPa because both strokes work on the rod-side area of the 50 mm bore. The 5 mm stroke suits short indexing and clamping moves, and the male rod thread (B code) bolts straight to your tooling.
The hard-anodized aluminium body is about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight fixtures and gantries. A fixed TPU bumper sits at each end of the through-rod, the S45C hard-chrome rod resists rotation and side load, and the back-end rod can carry a sensor flag. Run it on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-500 mm/s.

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 ACED50X5B Is Used
Short-stroke stamp marking
The 5 mm stroke drives a stamp or die into aluminium extrusions on a press bench, with 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa enough for clean character marks.
Symmetric part centering
Rods on both covers of the 50 mm bore grip glass or plastic housings from two sides with equal force, keeping delicate parts centered without skew.
Sensor flag carrier
The rear rod of the through-rod design trips a proximity flag on packaging machinery, giving position feedback while the front rod does the 5 mm nudging.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED50X5B the Right Cylinder?
At 881.2 N per side at 0.5 MPa, bore 50 sits between the 40 mm frame (571.8 N) and the 63 mm frame (1458.1 N) - pick 40 for lighter clamps, 63 when the part weight climbs. The 5 mm stroke is a standard build; strokes up to 250 mm are available for this bore. For position sensing order the -S variant, which carries the magnet for CMSE / DMSE switches; this plain code has no magnet. FA/FB flanges, LB feet and FTC brackets mount on the ISO 21287 face. Note that the piston drifts if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check where a load must be held.
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 ACED50X5B FAQ
Yes - the double-rod layout means both strokes use the rod-side area of the 50 mm bore, so output is equal both ways: 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 range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, temperature -20 to +70 C, and the 5 mm stroke is well inside the 250 mm standard maximum for this bore.
B specifies a male rod thread on both rod ends (the plain code gives female threads); the air ports are 1/8" PT. Switches need the optional -S magnet, which enables CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches along the body slots - this model without -S carries no magnet, so order the -S code if sensing is planned. The fixed TPU bumpers at each end absorb end-of-stroke shock, and FA/FB flange, LB foot or FTC brackets bolt to the compact ISO 21287 face.
