The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED80X50 is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 50mm 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.
The ACED80X50 is a double acting, double-rod ISO 21287 compact cylinder: a 20 mm hard-chrome S45C rod exits both covers, so the 80 mm bore delivers an identical 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa in each direction and 3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa. The through-rod resists rotation and side load, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag or a second tooling plate. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof pressure 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so this 50 mm stroke unit slots into tight press fixtures and gantry frames. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock, and the hard-anodized aluminium body with roller-burnished bore stands up to high-cycle work. At 0.5 MPa, plan on roughly 1414 N of usable force for real work, which is about 120 kg lifted vertically with a 2:1 margin.

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 symmetric 2356.2 N thrust in both directions seats automotive bushings, then retracts the arbor at equal force for fast cycle times on a short-stroke press bench.
A rod on each cover lets the 80 mm bore push cartons across a packaging line and pull the pusher plate back with identical 2356.2 N force, no return spring needed.
With about 120 kg of vertical lift capability at a 2:1 margin, the through-rod raises and lowers a steel nest under a stamping head inside a compact gantry.
At 2356.2 N per direction, the 80 mm bore sits between the 63 mm (1458.1 N) and 100 mm (3769.9 N) sizes; step down for lighter clamping or up when the load approaches 2000 N. Remember this cylinder drifts if air is lost - for a held vertical load, add a rod lock or pilot check valve. Mount with FA/FB flanges, LB feet or FTC brackets plus I/Y rod knuckles on the ISO 21287 face. This code has no magnet; order the -S version if you need CMSE or DMSE switch position sensing.
Quick checklist
Yes - the double-rod design exposes the rod-side area on both strokes, so output is equal each way: 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa, with a peak 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.
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, with a 20 mm hard-chrome rod, M12x1.75 female rod thread and 1/4" ports. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC mounts plus I/Y knuckles bolt to the standard face. Position sensing needs the optional -S magnet code, which enables CMSE or DMSE switches; this non-S unit carries no magnet.
