The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED80X250SB 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.
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED80X250SB pushes a 20 mm rod out of 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) at 30-500 mm/s, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end and 1/4" ports.
The hard-anodized aluminium body is about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into wide gantry lifts and press fixtures a full-length body cannot reach. Because the through-rod resists rotation and side load, the rear rod can carry a sensor flag while the front does the work. Plan on roughly 1414 N of usable push at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 72 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The S code on this model means the magnet is fitted, so CMSE / DMSE switches mount straight on the body.

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 2356.2 N thrust both ways raises and lowers a stacked pallet plate about 72 kg with margin, while the rear rod carries a DMSE switch flag for height confirmation.
Equal force on the return means the ejector plate pushes finished castings out of an aluminium die fixture at the same 2356.2 N as the clamping stroke.
The short ISO 21287 body fits inside the gantry frame over a conveyor, pushing cartons across at 30-500 mm/s with the fitted magnet reporting end positions via CMSE switches.
At 2356.2 N per side, bore 80 sits between the 63 mm (1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa) and 100 mm (3769.9 N) classes; step down for lighter clamping, up for heavy die handling. The 250 mm stroke is inside the 300 mm standard limit for this bore, so no made-to-order build is needed. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets plus I/Y rod knuckles bolt to the ISO 21287 face. Remember the piston drifts when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check if the load must stay put.
Quick checklist
Yes - the double-rod design exposes the rod-side area on both strokes, so force is equal either way: 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa, 3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa, and up to 480.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, air filtered to 40 um, -20 to +70 C.
The hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end to soften end-of-stroke contact. The S in ACED80X250SB means the optional -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches can be clipped onto the body slots for position feedback.
