Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED80X40S
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED80X40S 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 ACED80X40S
The ACED80X40S is a double acting, double-rod compact cylinder built to the ISO 21287 short-body format. A 20 mm rod exits both covers, so output force is equal in both directions - 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa on either stroke, since both sides work on the rod-side area. The 80 mm bore sits in the heavy compact class, and the through-rod resists rotation and side load while the free back-end rod can carry a sensor flag or a second tool. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed range 30-500 mm/s, and fixed TPU bumpers absorb end-of-stroke shock at both covers.
The hard-anodized aluminium body with a hard-chrome plated S45C rod shrinks the mounting length to roughly half that of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why this bore fits guarded presses and gantry pick stations where a full-length body will not. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount directly in the body slots for end-position feedback. As a sizing rule, plan on about 1414 N of real work at 0.5 MPa (roughly 60% of the rating), which corresponds to lifting about 120 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Mounting brackets - FA/FB flange, LB foot or FTC - bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face.

Where the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED80X40S Is Used
Press-fit stations
The 2356.2 N bidirectional force at 0.5 MPa suits pressing bushings into aluminium housings on an assembly line, with the 40 mm stroke matching short press travel.
Reciprocating guide carriages
A rod on each cover lets the through-rod drive a sliding carriage in a packaging machine, resisting rotation and side load without external guides.
Gantry pick-and-place
With the -S magnet fitted, CMSE / DMSE switches confirm extend and retract on a Z-axis lift rated to raise about 120 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED80X40S the Right Cylinder?
At 80 mm bore this unit delivers 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa in both directions; step down to the 63 mm ACED (1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa) for lighter clamping, or up to the 100 mm bore (3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa) for heavy tooling. Remember it does not hold position when air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve for a held vertical load. Choose FA/FB flange or LB foot mounting to match the fixture, and keep the -S magnet code (fitted here) if CMSE / DMSE switch feedback is needed.
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 ACED80X40S FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design means both strokes use the rod-side area, so force is equal both ways: 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 pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and the 1/4" port depends only on the 80 mm bore.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits tight guards and gantries. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount in the body slots; fixed TPU bumpers at both ends absorb end-of-stroke shock, and FA/FB flange or LB foot brackets bolt to the standard face.
