The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED80X225S is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 225mm 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.
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED80X225S 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 - no push/pull imbalance to design around. The through-rod also resists rotation and carries side load better than a single-rod body, and the free back-end rod is a handy place to bolt a sensor flag. With 225 mm of travel it stays inside the 300 mm standard stroke range for this bore.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome-plated rod runs at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and 30-500 mm/s, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end. Because the short ISO 21287 body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, it slots into long-stroke gantries and guarded machines where a full-length body will not fit. This -S version carries the optional magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches can be clipped on for end-of-stroke or mid-stroke detection. As a planning figure, treat about 1414 N (roughly 144 kgf) as the usable force at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 72 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.
| 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).

ACE-family variants: ACE (double acting), ASE / ATE (single acting push / pull), ACED (double rod), ACEJ (adjustable stroke), TACE / TACED (non-rotating twin-guide yoke). Mounting accessories: FA / FB flange, LB foot, CA / CB clevis, CR, SDB pivot, FTC; plus I and Y knuckles. Thread PT (blank) / G.
The symmetric through-rod guides a lift plate on a palletizing station; with about 72 kg of vertical lift capacity at a 2:1 margin, it handles loaded carton trays on a 225 mm lift.
A rod at each end lets one cylinder clamp a workpiece on the forward side while the rear rod trips a limit flag - equal 2356.2 N force both ways at 0.5 MPa keeps the cycle symmetric.
The short ISO 21287 body fits inside a guarded gantry frame where an ISO 15552 profile cylinder would overhang, delivering 3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa for pressing bearings into housings.
At 2356.2 N per side at 0.5 MPa, this bore sits well above the 50 mm class (881.2 N) and below the 100 mm class (3769.9 N), so pick it when a 50 mm unit is under-rated but a 100 mm body is too bulky. Remember that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check if the 225 mm stroke must hold a position. Mounting brackets (FA/FB flange, LB foot, FTC) plus I/Y rod knuckles bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face, and the fitted -S magnet means CMSE / DMSE switches work out of the box.
Quick checklist
Yes - the double-rod design exposes the rod-side area on both strokes, so output is equal each way: 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa, 3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa, 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, air filtered to 40 um, temperature -20 to +70 C.
The S means this unit carries the optional magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be mounted directly on the body slots for position sensing. Mechanically it is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder: hard-anodized aluminium body, S45C hard-chrome-plated 20 mm rod out of both covers, fixed TPU bumpers at both ends, and a body about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets plus I/Y knuckles bolt straight on; the rod end thread is female M12x1.75 and the port is 1/4" PT.
