Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED80X20S
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED80X20S 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 ACED80X20S
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED80X20S pushes a 20 mm through-rod out of both covers, so the 80 mm bore delivers 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa in each direction - both strokes work on the rod-side area, and at 0.7 MPa that rises to 3298.7 N. The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome-plated rod runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), from 30 to 500 mm/s.
The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into presses and guarding where a full-length body cannot. Because the rod exits both ends, the rear rod can carry a sensor flag or a second tooling plate, and the through-rod resists rotation better than a single cantilevered rod. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, and the fitted -S magnet accepts CMSE / DMSE switches.

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 ACED80X20S Is Used
Pneumatic press head on assembly fixtures
The 2356.2 N stroke in both directions suits a short-travel press or forming station where the 20 mm stroke and compact body fit inside a guarded fixture frame.
Symmetric clamp with rear sensor flag
A rod on each cover lets one end clamp the workpiece while the back rod drives a flag past a CMSE switch, confirming clamp position on an automated line.
Pallet strapper guide roller drive
Equal force both ways moves strapping guide rollers out and back with identical push, and the through-rod carries side load from misaligned strap.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED80X20S the Right Cylinder?
At 80 mm bore this sits in the heavy end of the ACED range: step down to a 63 mm bore for 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa, or up to 100 mm for 3769.9 N if the press or clamp needs more. The 20 mm stroke is well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it is a catalog item, not a made-to-order build. Air ports are 1/8" and the female rod thread is M12x1.75. Remember that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the fitted -S magnet means CMSE / DMSE switches can be added without reordering.
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 ACED80X20S FAQ
Yes - this is a double-rod cylinder, so a rod exits both covers and every stroke uses the rod-side area of the 80 mm bore. Force is 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa, equal in both directions, with a maximum of 480.5 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, air filtered to 40 um, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end.
The S in ACED80X20S means the optional -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be slid into the body slots for end-of-stroke or mid-stroke detection. Mounting brackets - FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC - bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face, and the short body takes about 50% less mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. The bumper only decelerates the piston at the ends; it never holds a load, so use a rod lock or pilot check where position must be kept.
