The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED80X5 is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 5mm 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 ACED80X5 pushes a 20 mm rod out of BOTH covers, so its 80 mm bore delivers the same 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa (3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa) on every stroke - no push/pull imbalance to design around. The 5 mm stroke suits short clamp-and-confirm moves where a full-length body would never fit; the short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder.
The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod stub can carry a sensor flag on automated tooling. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock. For sizing: at 0.5 MPa plan on roughly 1410 N (about 144 kg) of usable vertical effort with a 2:1 margin, so it will lift about 72 kg with headroom. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, air filtered to 40 um.

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).

| 80 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×5 | Stroke length in mm. |
| S | Optional built-in magnet for CMSE / DMSE sensors (omit for no magnet). |
| B | Rod type: B = male thread; blank = female thread. |
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 5 mm stroke is ideal for a short in-die clamp that seats a part and confirms presence; 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa both ways handles heavy sheet-steel workpieces, and the through-rod keeps the tooling plate from rotating.
A short-body pin that slides a guard interlock only a few millimetres - the compact body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits inside narrow guard channels.
The rear rod stub carries a sensor flag for cycle timing while the front rod drives a 5 mm indexing stop; equal force in both directions means retraction is as positive as engagement on a 480.5 kgf-class bore.
At 80 mm bore this sits in the heavy compact class: 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa both ways, well above the 50 mm bore (881.2 N) and below the 100 mm bore (3769.9 N) if you need more. The 5 mm stroke is well inside the 300 mm max standard stroke for this bore. Ports are 1/4" (PT thread), the female rod thread is M12x1.75. FA/FB flanges, LB feet and FTC brackets plus I/Y rod knuckles bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face. Note that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost - for a held load add a rod lock or pilot check. If you need position sensing, order the -S variant: without the -S code there is no magnet and no CMSE/DMSE switching.
Quick checklist
Yes - it is a double-rod cylinder, so a rod exits both covers and both strokes use the rod-side area. Output is 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa, equal in both directions, 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, temperature -20 to +70 C.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a hard-anodized aluminium body, S45C hard-chrome-plated 20 mm rod, threaded aluminium covers and a fixed TPU bumper at each end. Switches are not possible on this unit as ordered because no magnet is fitted; the optional -S code adds the magnet so CMSE or DMSE switches can be used. Mounting is via FA/FB flanges, LB feet or FTC brackets on the standard ISO 21287 face.
