Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED80X20
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED80X20 is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 20mm 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 ACED80X20
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED80X20 pushes an 80 mm piston through a 20 mm stroke with a rod leaving BOTH covers. Because each side of the piston sees the rod-side area, output is identical in either direction: 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa, both ways. The through-rod resists rotation and side load, and the rear rod stub can carry a sensor flag on a moving fixture. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed range 30-500 mm/s, and a fixed TPU bumper sits at each end of travel.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with a roller-burnished bore runs an S45C hard-chrome-plated rod, and the short ISO 21287 frame saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into shallow press fixtures and gantry clamps. In practice, plan on roughly 1414 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which is about 144 kg of vertical thrust with a sensible margin. FA/FB flanges, LB feet and FTC brackets bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face, and I/Y rod knuckles suit the 20 mm rod. The magnet is optional: order the -S code to enable CMSE / DMSE switches, otherwise no magnet is fitted.

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 ACED80X20 Is Used
Pneumatic press fixture
A 20 mm stroke is ideal for a short-stamp or marking die: the 80 mm bore delivers 2356.2 N in both directions at 0.5 MPa, so the return stroke ejects the part with the same force that clamped it.
Reciprocating conveyor gate
The through-rod drives a sliding gate or diverter from either cover, and the rear rod can carry a flag for a position sensor when the -S magnet option is ordered with a CMSE or DMSE switch.
Machine tool clamp slide
Mounted on an FA flange inside a guarded CNC cell, the compact body fits where a full-length ISO 15552 profile cylinder cannot, pushing a clamp slide at 30-500 mm/s with equal force each way.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED80X20 the Right Cylinder?
At 2356.2 N per direction at 0.5 MPa, the 80 mm bore sits between the 63 mm bore (1458.1 N) and the 100 mm bore (3769.9 N), so step down when the load is under 900 N and step up for heavy clamping past 2000 N. The 20 mm stroke is well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it ships as a standard build. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost; add a rod lock or pilot check valve if a held position matters. Female M12x1.75 rod thread and 1/8" PT ports come as standard, and the -S magnet option is the only way to run CMSE / DMSE switches.
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 ACED80X20 FAQ
Yes, identical both ways because a rod exits each cover and both strokes use the rod-side area: 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum of 480.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the bore is 80 mm with a 20 mm stroke.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder: hard-anodized aluminium body, S45C hard-chrome-plated 20 mm rod, threaded aluminium covers, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end that only decelerates the piston. The body is about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. Position sensing needs the optional -S magnet code; with it, CMSE or DMSE switches ride the body slots. Without -S there is no magnet, so no switch can be mounted.
