Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED50X60
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED50X60 is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 60mm 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 ACED50X60
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED50X60 pushes a 16 mm rod out of BOTH covers, so the 50 mm bore delivers an identical 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa (1233.7 N at 0.7 MPa) in each direction - both strokes work on the rod-side area. The 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 a full-length body cannot enter.
The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag on a transfer line. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock. For sizing, treat roughly 0.6 of the push rating - about 529 N - as the usable working force at 0.5 MPa, which is around 54 kgf; halve that for a 2:1 margin and the rod lifts about 27 kg vertically. Body is hard-anodized aluminium with an S45C hard-chrome rod; speed range 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 ACED50X60 Is Used
Reciprocating transfer shuttle
The rear rod drives a return flag or counter-grip on a pallet shuttle, while the front rod pushes the carrier 60 mm - equal 881.2 N thrust keeps the cycle symmetric.
Press-fit staking station
With about 529 N of usable working force at 0.5 MPa, the 50 mm bore stakes light bushings and bearings in electronics assembly jigs where body length is limited.
Bidirectional conveyor stopper
A rod on each cover lets one cylinder stop or divert cartons from either face on a packaging line, with the TPU bumper softening each end-of-stroke stop.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED50X60 the Right Cylinder?
At 881.2 N per direction this bore sits between the 40 mm class (571.8 N) and the 63 mm class (1458.1 N), so step down when the load is light and space is tight, or up when clamping forces grow. The 60 mm stroke is well inside the 250 mm maximum standard stroke for bore 50. Ports are 1/8" and the female rod thread is M10x1.5. Remember the piston will drift if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check where a load must be held. Mounting brackets (FA/FB flange, LB foot, FTC) and I/Y rod knuckles bolt to the ISO 21287 face; order the -S code if you later need CMSE/DMSE switches, since this model has no magnet fitted.
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 ACED50X60 FAQ
Yes - because a rod exits both covers, both strokes use the rod-side area. At 0.5 MPa the force is 881.2 N in each direction, at 0.7 MPa it is 1233.7 N both ways, and the maximum at 1.0 MPa is 179.7 kgf. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits shallow fixtures and guarded gantries. Sensors are not possible on this code as ordered - the magnet is the optional -S suffix; order ACED50X60S to enable CMSE or DMSE switches. Mounting options include FA/FB flange, LB foot, FTC, plus I/Y rod knuckles on the M10x1.5 female threads.
