Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED80X40
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED80X40 is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 40mm 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.

About the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED80X40
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED80X40 pushes a 20 mm rod out of BOTH covers, so thrust is identical on each 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) of filtered air at 30-500 mm/s, with a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbing the stop.
The hard-anodized aluminium body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into tight press fixtures and gantry clamps. At 0.5 MPa plan on about 1414 N of usable work (roughly 60% of rating), enough to lift about 120 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The back rod doubles as a sensor-flag carrier, and FA/FB flanges, LB feet or FTC brackets bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face. Ports are 1/4" PT and the female rod thread is M12x1.75.

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 ACED80X40 Is Used
Press stamping fixture
The 40 mm stroke ejects stamped aluminium brackets from a die, with 2356.2 N of equal return force pulling the platen back every cycle.
Reciprocating conveyor pusher
Rods on both ends let one ACED80X40 push cartons forward on the out-stroke and retract a gate on the return, at 30-500 mm/s.
Vertical lift-and-lower module
A packaging machine raises about 120 kg of tooling vertically on the through-rod, with the rear rod carrying a flag for a CMSE switch when the -S magnet is ordered.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED80X40 the Right Cylinder?
Size down to the ACED63X40 (1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa) if the load is under about 89 kg vertical, or step up to the ACED100X40 (3769.9 N) for heavier presses. Remember this cylinder drifts if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must stay held. The rod thread here is female M12x1.75; order the B variant for male thread. Position feedback needs the optional -S magnet code, which enables CMSE / DMSE switches; without -S no magnet is fitted.
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 ACED80X40 FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design means 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) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a hard-anodized aluminium body about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, 1/4" PT ports and an M12x1.75 female rod thread. Fixed TPU bumpers at both ends soften the stops but never hold a load - use a rod lock or pilot check for that. Sensing requires the optional -S magnet code, which allows CMSE / DMSE switches; without -S there is no magnet.
