Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED80X20B
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED80X20B is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 20mm 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 ACED80X20B
A double acting ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a rod leaving both covers, the ACED80X20B pushes with the same 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa in each direction because both strokes work on the rod-side area of the 80 mm bore. At 0.7 MPa that rises to 3298.7 N either way. The 20 mm stroke suits short-throw clamping and positioning where a full-length body would never fit: the short frame saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder.
The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag on your fixture. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock. In practice, plan on roughly 1414 N (about 144 kg of thrust) for real work at 0.5 MPa, which lets this bore lift about 120 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Body is hard-anodized aluminium with an S45C hard-chrome plated 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 (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 ACED80X20B Is Used
Press-side part ejection
The rear rod ejects a stamped bracket while the front rod returns a locator, both strokes delivering 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa from the same 80 mm bore.
Gantry pick-and-place heads
A symmetric through-rod mount on a CNC tending gantry resists rotation, and the short body fits inside the gantry beam where an ISO 15552 profile cylinder cannot.
Pallet-stacker clamp arms
Dual rods drive clamp arms on a warehouse stacker with equal force closing and opening, the 20 mm stroke matching a short grip cycle at 30-500 mm/s.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED80X20B the Right Cylinder?
Step down to ACED63X20 (1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa) if the load is lighter, or step up to ACED100X20 (3769.9 N) for heavier presses. This model has a male rod thread (B code) on both ends and a 1/4" port. Remember that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put. Mounting brackets (FA/FB flange, LB foot, FTC) plus I/Y rod knuckles bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face; to add CMSE or DMSE switches, order the -S variant instead, since this code carries no magnet.
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 ACED80X20B FAQ
Yes - it is a double-rod cylinder, so force is equal both ways because both strokes use the rod-side area of the 80 mm bore: 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa in each direction. At 1.0 MPa the peak is 480.5 kgf. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a hard-anodized aluminium body, threaded aluminium covers, an S45C hard-chrome rod on both ends and a fixed TPU bumper at each end - about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. This ACED80X20B code has no magnet; order the -S variant to enable CMSE or DMSE switches. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets plus I/Y knuckles mount directly.
