Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED80X55B
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED80X55B is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 55mm 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.

About the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED80X55B
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED80X55B pushes an 80 mm bore through a 55 mm stroke with a rod leaving BOTH covers. Because each side works on the rod-side area, output is identical in either direction: 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa, equal push and pull. The male rod thread (B code) on both ends bolts straight into standard knuckles and tooling.
The through-rod resists rotation and side load, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag or a second fixture. The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome plated rod runs 30-500 mm/s on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi). A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock. As a rule of thumb, plan on roughly 1410 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa - about 143 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. Note: no magnet is fitted on this code; order the -S version if you need CMSE / DMSE switch positions.

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.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø80mm)
| 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).

Where the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED80X55B Is Used
Symmetric press fixture
The equal 2356.2 N force in both directions lets one ACED80X55B press a bearing in on the forward stroke and eject the finished part on the return, with the male threaded rods driving interchangeable tooling.
Pallet lift-and-lower module
With about 143 kg of practical vertical lift at 0.5 MPa (2:1 margin), the through-rod carries a lift plate on the front rod while the rear rod drives a position flag for the machine PLC.
Bidirectional gate diverter
On a bottling line conveyor, the double rod pushes cases left or right with identical force either way, and the short ISO 21287 body fits the 55 mm gap beside the guide rail.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED80X55B the Right Cylinder?
At 2356.2 N per direction, this 80 mm bore sits between the 63 mm (1458.1 N) and 100 mm (3769.9 N) sizes - step down for lighter clamping, up for heavy press or lift work. The 55 mm stroke is well inside the 300 mm standard limit for bore 80. Remember the piston will drift if air is lost; for a held load pair it with a rod lock or pilot check valve. Mount with FA/FB flanges, LB feet or FTC brackets on the ISO 21287 face, and add the -S magnet code only if CMSE / DMSE position sensing is required.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Short stroke fits the compact body
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G)
- ✓ Add -S if you need the magnet for sensors
- ✓ Rod type (female / male B) & mount (FA/LB/CA)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Compact body: keep the stroke short and avoid side load on the rod.
- check Do not dismantle the threaded front/back covers.
- check Keep speed within the rated range; the TPU bumper absorbs stroke-end energy.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED80X55B FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design means both strokes use the rod-side area, so output is equal either 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, and the 1/4" port is fixed by the 80 mm bore.
It is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder whose short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight gantries and fixtures. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke impact. Sensing is not included on this code: the magnet is the optional -S version, which accepts CMSE / DMSE switches. FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC mounts bolt to the standard face.
