The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED80X250B is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 250mm 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.
The ACED80X250B is a double acting, double-rod ISO 21287 compact cylinder: a 20 mm rod exits both the front and rear covers, so the 80 mm bore delivers an identical 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa (3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa) on every stroke, in either direction. The male rod thread (B code) suits external rod accessories, and the through-rod resists rotation and side load while the rear rod end can carry a sensor flag. 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 an S45C hard-chrome-plated rod keeps the short ISO 21287 footprint roughly 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into long-stroke gantries and press fixtures where a full-length body will not fit. Note that with no air applied the piston drifts freely - add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put.

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).

|---|---|
| 80 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×250 | Stroke length in mm. |
| S | Optional built-in magnet for CMSE / DMSE sensors (omit for no magnet). |
| B | Rod type: B = male thread; blank = female thread. |
ACE-family variants: ACE (double acting), ASE / ATE (single acting push / pull), ACED (double rod), ACEJ (double rod, 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 2356.2 N output both ways suits a stamping or riveting head on a 250 mm approach stroke, with the male rod thread taking a press ram directly.
The front rod drives a pusher arm across a packaging line while the rear rod carries a flag plate; add the -S magnet option for CMSE / DMSE end-position sensing.
At 2356.2 N per side, the 80 mm bore sits between the 63 mm (1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa) and 100 mm (3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa) sizes - step down for lighter clamping, up for heavy press or lift work. The 250 mm stroke is within the 300 mm standard limit for this bore, so no made-to-order build is needed. Choose FA/FB flange or LB foot brackets on the ISO 21287 face, and remember the magnet is optional: order the -S code if you need CMSE / DMSE switch position feedback, otherwise no magnet is fitted.
Quick checklist
Yes - because a rod exits both covers, both strokes use the rod-side area. At 0.5 MPa the force is 2356.2 N in each direction; at 0.7 MPa it is 3298.7 N both ways; the maximum rating is 480.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Never size it from a larger single-rod push figure, as none applies to this double-rod design.
It is an ISO 21287 compact build whose mounting length is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with FA/FB flange or LB foot brackets bolting to the standard face. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock but does not hold a load - use a rod lock or pilot check for that. Position switches (CMSE / DMSE) work only when the optional -S magnet is ordered; this B-code model has no magnet fitted.
