The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED80X50SB 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 ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a through rod, the ACED80X50SB pushes a 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 male rod thread on each 20 mm end suits external tooling, and the fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke shock. Air supply is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with speed from 30-500 mm/s.
The short hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight press fixtures and gantries. Because the piston drifts when air is lost, pair it with a rod lock or pilot check for held loads. At 0.5 MPa plan on roughly 1414 N of usable work, which is about 120 kg lifted vertically with a 2:1 margin. The fitted -S magnet accepts CMSE / DMSE switches for end-position sensing.

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).

| ×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.
The 2356.2 N of equal force in both directions suits a short-stroke stamping or riveting head on an assembly line, where the 50 mm stroke matches a quick clinch cycle and the through rod keeps the tooling square.
With about 120 kg liftable vertically at a 2:1 margin, the double rod carries a counterbalanced pallet elevator carriage between two stops, with CMSE switches reporting top and bottom via the fitted magnet.
On a packaging machine shuttle that must index a carton forward and retract with identical thrust, the symmetric rod-side output and 30-500 mm/s speed range keep the cycle balanced at both ends.
At 2356.2 N per direction, this 80 mm double-rod unit sits between the 63 mm bore (1458.1 N) and the 100 mm bore (3769.9 N) at 0.5 MPa, so pick it when a 63 mm frame runs out of force but a 100 mm body will not fit the envelope. The 50 mm stroke is well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore. Choose the male-threaded B rod end when the load bolts to a nut rather than screwing onto the rod, and add FA flange or LB foot brackets on the ISO 21287 face. If the application must hold position on air loss, specify a separate rod lock cylinder instead.
Quick checklist
The 80 mm double-rod bore gives 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa, identical on both strokes because a rod exits each cover and both sides use the rod-side area. At 1.0 MPa the rating is 480.5 kgf. As a working guide, treat about 1414 N as usable at 0.5 MPa, roughly a 120 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. Operating range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), proof 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, with a 1/4" PT port and a 20 mm male-threaded rod.
The hard-anodized aluminium ISO 21287 body is about 50% shorter in mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits shallow machine frames, and FA/FB flange, LB foot or FTC brackets bolt straight to the standard face. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke impact. This version carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE or DMSE reed or solid-state switches can be clipped into the body slots for position feedback; without the -S code there is no magnet.
