About the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED50X5SB
This is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to ISO 21287: a 16 mm hard-chrome S45C rod exits both covers of the 50 mm bore body, 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 male rod thread (B code) suits external nuts and tooling plates, and the PT port thread accepts 1/8" fittings. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof rating.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which matters on a 5 mm stroke part where every millimetre of depth counts. The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches mount directly on the body slots. A fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke energy, and speed runs 30-500 mm/s. As a rule of thumb, plan on roughly 529 N of real work at 0.5 MPa - about 54 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin.

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 ACED50X5SB Is Used
Fixture clamping on CNC pallets
A 5 mm clamp stroke with 881.2 N both ways is enough to seat a machined part against a nest on a CNC pallet, and the male rod thread takes a standard clamping nut.
Flag triggering on inspection rigs
The rear rod of the through-rod drives a sensor flag while the front rod does the work; with the fitted -S magnet, CMSE / DMSE switches confirm end positions.
Short-press marking in packaging
Stamping or embossing a date code needs force over a tiny travel - 1233.7 N at 0.7 MPa across 5 mm fits inside a compact marking head.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED50X5SB the Right Cylinder?
At 5 mm stroke this is a short-throw positioning part, not a transfer cylinder. If your load is under about 345 N at 0.5 MPa, the 32 mm bore double-rod version reaches the same force class in a smaller envelope; if you need more than 881 N, step up to the 63 mm bore at 1458.1 N. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost - for a held load add a rod lock or pilot check. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face, and the fitted -S magnet means CMSE / DMSE switches are ready to mount.
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 ACED50X5SB FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design exposes the rod-side area on both strokes, 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 port is 1/8" PT.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so the cylinder fits shallow heads and guarded frames. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches clip into the body slots for end-position sensing. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy; FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets mount on the standard face.
