The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED80X45SB is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 45mm 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 ACED80X45SB pushes a 20 mm hard-chrome rod out of BOTH covers, so the 80 mm bore delivers an identical 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa (3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa) in each direction - there is no weaker pull side. The male rod thread (B code) and fitted -S magnet let you bolt on a knuckle and mount CMSE or DMSE switches without reordering. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into guarded pick-and-place frames and press fixtures where a full-length body simply will not fit.
Practically, plan on roughly 1414 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa (about 60% of the rating), which corresponds to lifting about 120 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin - enough for heavy fixture clamps or small die handling. The hard-anodized aluminium body with roller-burnished bore, S45C rod and a fixed TPU bumper at each end runs at 30-500 mm/s on air filtered to 40 um, across 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and -20 to +70 C.

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).

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 male rod thread takes an I or Y knuckle to swing a clamp arm over a machined casting; 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa holds the part through roughing cuts, and the 45 mm stroke clears chip conveyor paths.
Equal force in both directions lets the through-rod drive a strapper guide symmetrically in an end-of-line packaging cell, with the -S magnet feeding CMSE switch signals to the PLC at both stroke ends.
A pair of these cylinders guiding a stamping die lift table: about 120 kg vertical lift capacity each with a 2:1 margin, and the rear rod carries a position flag for the safety interlock.
At 2356.2 N per direction this bore sits between the 63 mm frame (1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa) and the 100 mm frame (3769.9 N at 0.5 MPa), so step down for lighter clamping or up for heavier press work. The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag on long machines. Note that the piston drifts if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check where a load must stay put. FA/FB flanges, LB feet and FTC brackets bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face, and the 45 mm stroke sits well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore.
Quick checklist
Yes - the double-rod design exposes the rod-side area on both strokes, 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 range 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" PT port serves both ends. A fixed TPU bumper at each cover absorbs end-of-stroke shock.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits inside tight guards and gantries. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches clamp directly into the body slots for end-of-stroke detection. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets bolt to the standard ISO 21287 face, and the male rod thread accepts I or Y knuckles.
