The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED80X250S 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 ACED80X250S is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to the ISO 21287 short-body format: a piston rod leaves 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, in either direction. The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, and the back-end rod can carry a sensor flag. Its body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight gantries and guarding. The magnet is the -S option that this model carries, ready for CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches.
Construction is a hard-anodized aluminium-alloy body with a roller-burnished bore, S45C hard-chrome-plated 20 mm rods and threaded aluminium covers for easy service. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. Running on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), it covers 30-500 mm/s between -20 and +70 C.

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).
| ACED | ISO 21287 compact cylinder (double-rod). |
|---|---|
| 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.
Equal 2356.2 N output in both directions at 0.5 MPa means the return stroke seats parts with the same force, useful in automotive assembly cells running 30-500 mm/s.
The fitted -S magnet accepts CMSE / DMSE switches at both ends of the 250 mm stroke, confirming home and extended positions on high-cycle conveyor indexing stations.
At this force class, 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa both ways, the 80 mm bore suits clamping and pressing in the 100-200 kg range; step down to the 63 mm bore (1458.1 N) for lighter tooling or up to the 100 mm bore (3769.9 N) when the part weight demands more. The 250 mm stroke sits inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it ships as a catalogue item. 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 plus I/Y rod knuckles bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face, and the fitted -S magnet lets CMSE / DMSE switches report position.
Quick checklist
Because a rod exits both covers, force is equal in both directions: 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa on every stroke, using the rod-side area. At 1.0 MPa the maximum is 480.5 kgf. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof rating.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and fixed TPU bumpers at both ends absorb end-of-stroke energy. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount directly in the body slots; FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets bolt to the standard face.
