About the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED80X30B
The ACED80X30B is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to ISO 21287: a piston rod exits both covers of the hard-anodized aluminium body, so thrust is identical on the extend and retract strokes. At 0.5 MPa it delivers 2356.2 N either way (3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa), because both strokes work on the rod-side area. The 30 mm stroke suits short, fast moves at 30-500 mm/s, and the male rod thread (B code) bolts straight to external tooling on each end.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight press fixtures and gantry clamps where a full-length body will not fit. The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a tooling plate or sensor flag. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock. Plan on roughly 1414 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa (about 60% of rating), which lifts about 120 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

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.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø80mm)
| 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).

Where the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED80X30B Is Used
Short-stroke press fixture
The 30 mm stroke and 2356.2 N of thrust in both directions suit a compact crimping or staking head on an electronics assembly line, where the through-rod lets the die mount on the rear rod for a symmetric frame.
Gantry pick-and-place lift
With about 120 kg of vertical lift capacity at a 2:1 margin, the double rod resists rotation while a Z-axis carriage rises and drops between pallet stations on a packaging machine.
Clamp-and-reciprocate slider
On an automotive machining cell, the rear rod drives a position flag while the front rod pushes a clamp slide, and the 1/4" PT ports keep plumbing simple at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED80X30B the Right Cylinder?
Size both ways: the ACED63X30 gives 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa if your load is lighter, while the ACED100X30 reaches 3769.9 N for heavier clamping. This 80 mm bore sits in the middle for presses and lift stations needing about 240 kgf of raw thrust. Note that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - for a held load, pair it with a rod lock or pilot check valve. Mount with FA/FB flanges, LB feet or FTC brackets on the ISO 21287 face, and use I/Y rod knuckles on either rod end. This unit has no magnet; order the -S code if you later need CMSE or DMSE switch position feedback.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Short stroke fits the compact body
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G)
- ✓ Add -S if you need the magnet for sensors
- ✓ Rod type (female / male B) & mount (FA/LB/CA)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Compact body: keep the stroke short and avoid side load on the rod.
- check Do not dismantle the threaded front/back covers.
- check Keep speed within the rated range; the TPU bumper absorbs stroke-end energy.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED80X30B FAQ
Yes - because a rod exits both covers, both strokes use the rod-side area, so output 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 the 1.0 MPa maximum. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, with a 20 mm rod and 1/4" PT ports.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder whose 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 absorb end-of-stroke shock. Switches are not fitted as standard: the magnet is the optional -S code, so order ACED80X30BS if you want CMSE or DMSE sensors to read piston position. FA/FB flanges, LB feet and FTC brackets bolt straight to the standard face.
