Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED80X160S
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED80X160S is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 160mm stroke, 1/4" 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 ACED80X160S
A double acting, double-rod ISO 21287 compact cylinder, the ACED80X160S pushes a 20 mm rod out of both covers, so the 80 mm bore delivers the same 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa (3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa) on every stroke. Because both sides see the rod-side area, there is no push-versus-pull mismatch to design around. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it suits tight gantries and guarded assemblies.
The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag on a pick-and-place arm. This -S model carries the optional magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clipped onto the body slot to report end positions. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs stroke-end shock, the hard-anodized aluminium body runs on a hard-chrome S45C rod, and the 1/4" port feeds speeds of 30-500 mm/s. As a rule of thumb, plan on roughly 1414 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 120 kg vertically 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 (Ø80mm)
| Pressure | Force (both ways) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 2356 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 3299 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 481 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 ACED80X160S Is Used
Gantry pick-and-place
The symmetric through-rod carries a tooling plate on both ends, and the fitted magnet with CMSE switches confirms grip and release positions inside a 160 mm envelope.
Bottle-capper press head
Equal 2356.2 N force in both directions lets the same cylinder press caps home and retract the head without a larger return bore.
Packaging line pusher arm
The short ISO 21287 body slots between conveyor frames where a full-length profile cylinder will not fit, cycling at up to 500 mm/s.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED80X160S the Right Cylinder?
Size between neighbours: the 63 mm bore gives 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa, while the 100 mm bore reaches 3769.9 N, so pick the 80 mm when your clamp or lift needs roughly 240 kgf of thrust both ways. The 160 mm stroke sits inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so no made-to-order build is needed. Mount with FA/FB flanges, LB foot or FTC brackets plus I/Y rod knuckles on the ISO 21287 face. Remember that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - for a held load add a rod lock or pilot check valve.
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 ACED80X160S FAQ
The 80 mm double-rod bore gives 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa, equal in both directions because a rod exits each cover and both strokes use the rod-side area. Maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 480.5 kgf. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a fixed TPU bumper at each stroke end. The S in ACED80X160S means the optional magnet is fitted, so CMSE / DMSE switches mount in the body slot; models without the S code carry no magnet.
