The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED80X30S is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 30mm 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 ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a piston rod leaving both covers, the ACED80X30S delivers 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa in either direction, because both strokes work on the rod-side area of the 80 mm bore. At 0.7 MPa that rises to 3298.7 N each way, and the 20 mm through-rod resists rotation and side load while giving a symmetric mount on both faces.
The short hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight press fixtures and gantries. As a working figure, treat roughly 1410 N as the practical push at 0.5 MPa, which lifts about 144 kg vertically - or around 72 kg with a 2:1 margin. The S code means the magnet is fitted, so CMSE / DMSE switches can be clamped into the body slots, and a fixed TPU bumper sits at each end.

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).

| ×30 | Stroke length in mm. |
| S | Optional built-in magnet for CMSE / DMSE sensors (omit for no magnet). |

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 back rod pulls the tooling plate back with the same 2356.2 N that pushed it forward, so a single 30 mm stroke cycles a stamping nest in both directions at equal force.
A through-rod driving a slider from both ends resists rotation and side load at 30-500 mm/s, keeping carton pushers square without external guides.
With the -S magnet fitted, a DMSE switch on the front rod and a CMSE switch on the rear rod report both end positions of the 30 mm clamp stroke to the PLC.
For this bore class, step down to the ACED63 at 1458.1 N @0.5 MPa if the load is lighter, or up to the ACED100 at 3769.9 N @0.5 MPa for heavier tooling. The 30 mm stroke sits well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for bore 80. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check where a load must stay put. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the female M12x1.75 rod thread takes standard rod knuckles (I or Y).
Quick checklist
Yes - the double-rod design exposes the rod-side area on both strokes, so force is equal each way: 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum 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, with FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets fitting the standard face. The S in the model code means the optional -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE / DMSE switches can be mounted in the body slots. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy; it does not hold or brake a load.
