About the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED50X5S
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED50X5S pushes a 16 mm rod out of BOTH covers, so its 50 mm bore delivers 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa in either direction - both strokes work on the rod-side area, and at 0.7 MPa that rises to 1233.7 N. The 5 mm stroke suits short indexing and clamping moves where travel is measured in millimetres, not centimetres. The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome plated rod runs at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and 30-500 mm/s.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight fixtures and guarded cells. Because the through-rod exits the rear cover too, it resists rotation and side load and can carry a sensor flag on the back end. This -S model carries the optional magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount directly on the body slots. Fixed TPU bumpers at both ends absorb end-of-stroke shock. As a planning figure, budget roughly 529 N (about 54 kgf) of usable work at 0.5 MPa rather than the full 881.2 N rating.

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 ACED50X5S Is Used
Short-stamp marking on aluminium extrusions
A 5 mm stroke is ideal for a date-code stamp or dot-peen head that only needs to advance a few millimetres; 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa gives ample marking force and the equal both-ways force retracts the head cleanly.
Gated presence check on an assembly line
The rear rod carries a flag past a CMSE or DMSE switch (this -S model has the magnet fitted), turning the cylinder into a positive confirm that a gate or part is seated - with sensing at both ends of the short 5 mm travel.
Fixture clamp inside a CNC jig
Where a full-length profile cylinder will not fit behind the jig plate, the compact body - about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder - clamps workpieces with 1233.7 N at 0.7 MPa in a few millimetres of travel.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED50X5S the Right Cylinder?
At 50 mm bore you sit mid-range: a 40 mm bore gives 571.8 N at 0.5 MPa if the load is lighter, while a 63 mm bore raises it to 1458.1 N for heavier clamps. The 5 mm stroke is well inside the 250 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it is a catalogue item with no made-to-order wait. Note that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check if the position must hold. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets plus I/Y rod knuckles bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face, and the fitted magnet accepts CMSE / DMSE switches for end-position sensing.
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 ACED50X5S FAQ
Because a rod exits both covers, force is identical in both directions: 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 1233.7 N at 0.7 MPa, on the rod-side area. At the full 1.0 MPa rating the maximum output is 179.7 kgf. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, speed 30-500 mm/s, air filtered to 40 um.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome rod. Fixed TPU bumpers at both ends absorb end-of-stroke energy. As an -S model it carries the optional magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches mount in the body slots for position detection; FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets bolt to the standard face.
