The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED80X250 is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 250mm 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.
The ACED80X250 is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to ISO 21287: a 20 mm hard-chrome S45C rod exits BOTH covers, so thrust is identical on every stroke - 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa, either direction. The 80 mm bore runs on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) of filtered air at 30-500 mm/s, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end to soften the stops.
The short ISO 21287 body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which matters on a 250 mm stroke inside tight gantries or guarding. The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. Practical sizing: keep real work near 1410 N (about 0.6 of rating), which is roughly a 144 kg vertical load - or about 72 kg with a 2:1 margin. Female M12x1.75 rod thread, 1/4" PT ports, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches (no magnet on this code).

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.
Pushes stacked pallets off a conveyor lane; the 2356.2 N double-rod thrust is equal entering and retracting the ejector plate, and the 250 mm stroke clears a full pallet width.
The rear rod of the through-rod carries a counterweight or sensor flag in a vertical lifting jig, where the 80 mm bore handles about 72 kg with a 2:1 margin at 0.5 MPa.
Returns a heavy anvil on a small-bore assembly press; the symmetric double-rod mount resists the side load of the sliding anvil, and the fixed TPU bumpers soften both ends.
At 2356.2 N per side at 0.5 MPa, the 80 mm bore sits between the 63 mm (1458.1 N) and 100 mm (3769.9 N) classes - step down for lighter clamping, up for heavy press or lift work. The 250 mm stroke is within the 300 mm standard range for this bore, so no made-to-order build is needed. Remember it does not hold position if air is lost; pair it with a rod lock or pilot check for a held load. LB foot or FA/FB flange mounts bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the optional -S magnet adds CMSE / DMSE sensing.
Quick checklist
Because a rod exits both covers, both strokes use the rod-side area and force is equal in each direction: 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 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 ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so a 250 mm stroke fits where a full-length cylinder will not. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets plus I/Y rod knuckles bolt to the standard face. The rod thread is female M12x1.75, ports are 1/4" PT, and each end has a fixed TPU bumper. Position sensing needs the optional -S magnet code with CMSE / DMSE switches - this model has no magnet fitted.
