The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED80X300B is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 300mm 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 ACED80X300B pushes a 20 mm hard-chrome rod out of BOTH covers, so thrust is identical on the extend and return strokes. At 0.5 MPa it delivers 2356.2 N in either direction (3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa), with a fixed TPU bumper at each end to absorb end-of-stroke shock. The 300 mm stroke sits at the maximum standard stroke for the 80 mm bore, so it ships as a catalogue item, not a special.
The short hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which matters on long-stroke gantries and press fixtures where every millimetre of envelope counts. Because the through-rod exits the rear cover as well, the back rod can carry a sensor flag or a second tool, and the symmetric rod resists rotation and side load. The B code gives a male M12x1.75 rod thread on both ends. As a rule of thumb, plan on roughly 1414 N (about 144 kg of vertical lift) of real working force at 0.5 MPa rather than the full rating; for a 2:1 margin, keep lifted parts near 120 kg.

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).

| ×300 | 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 (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 2356.2 N bidirectional stroke ejects formed aluminium housings from a die on the forward stroke and retracts the pusher plate with equal force, all inside a frame too short for a full-length profile cylinder.
Mounted with an LB foot bracket beside a pallet line, the through-rod drives a diverter in both directions at up to 500 mm/s, and the rear rod carries a flag for a proximity sensor.
A male-threaded rod end bolts straight to a press head to seat caps on 100-120 kg containers, with the TPU bumper softening the bottom of every 300 mm stroke.
At this force class the 80 mm bore sits between the 63 mm (1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa) and the 100 mm (3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa); step down for lighter clamping, step up when the 2356.2 N output leaves too little margin. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must stay put. Mount with FA/FB flanges, LB foot brackets or FTC feet plus I/Y rod knuckles on the ISO 21287 face. This unit has no magnet; if you need CMSE or DMSE switch position feedback, order the -S variant instead.
Quick checklist
Yes - the double-rod design means both strokes use the rod-side area, so force is equal extending and retracting: 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa, with a peak 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, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy without adjustment. This model has no magnet fitted; order the -S code to enable CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches along the body slots.
