The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED80X50S 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.
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED80X50S pushes a 20 mm rod out of BOTH covers, so the 80 mm bore delivers the same 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa (3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa) on every stroke. The through-rod resists rotation and side load, and the rear rod end can carry a sensor flag on a pick-and-place gantry. The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome-plated rod runs at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) and 30-500 mm/s.
The short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight press fixtures and guarding where a full-length body cannot. Fixed TPU bumpers at both ends absorb end-of-stroke shock, and the fitted -S magnet lets CMSE / DMSE switches report position. At 0.5 MPa the rod-side force equals roughly 240 kg of thrust, so plan on about 120 kg for vertical lifts 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).

| 80 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×50 | Stroke length in mm. |
| S | Optional built-in magnet for CMSE / DMSE sensors (omit for no magnet). |

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.
Equal 2356.2 N force in both directions lets one cylinder press a bearing in on the forward stroke and eject it on the return, with the through-rod keeping the tooling square.
On a packaging line shuttle, the back-end rod carries a flag for a DMSE switch while the front rod drives the gripper, all inside a body about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder.
With about 240 kg of thrust at 0.5 MPa, the 80 mm bore raises a 120 kg pallet fixture with a 2:1 margin; pair it with a pilot check valve to hold position on air loss.
At 2356.2 N per side at 0.5 MPa, the 80 mm bore sits between the 63 mm (1458.1 N) and 100 mm (3769.9 N) classes - step down for lighter clamping, up for heavy press work. The 50 mm stroke is well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore. Note that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost; add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay put. FA/FB flanges, LB feet and FTC brackets bolt to the ISO 21287 face, and the female M12x1.75 rod thread takes standard I or Y knuckles.
Quick checklist
Yes - this is a double-rod cylinder, so a 20 mm rod exits both covers and every stroke uses the rod-side area of the 80 mm bore. Output is 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa in EITHER direction, 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, air filtered to 40 um, temperature -20 to +70 C.
The S in ACED80X50S means the optional -S magnet is fitted, so CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount directly in the body slots for end-of-stroke or mid-stroke sensing. The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, and fixed TPU bumpers at both ends absorb end-of-stroke impact. Mounting choices include FA/FB flanges, LB feet, FTC brackets and I/Y rod knuckles on the female M12x1.75 thread.
