Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED80X55S
The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED80X55S 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 ACED80X55S
A double acting compact cylinder built to ISO 21287, the ACED80X55S pushes a 20 mm rod out of BOTH covers, so the 80 mm bore delivers an identical 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa on every stroke - no push/pull imbalance to design around. The hard-anodized aluminium body with an S45C hard-chrome plated rod runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), moving at 30-500 mm/s between fixed TPU bumpers at each end.
Because the short ISO 21287 body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, this 55 mm stroke unit slots into tight gantries and guarding where a full-length body cannot. The through-rod resists rotation and side load and gives a symmetric mount, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. This -S version carries the optional magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount directly in the body slots. At 0.5 MPa the rod-side force of 2356.2 N equals about 240 kgf, so halving for a 2:1 margin it lifts roughly 120 kg vertically - match that against your part weight before ordering.

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 ACED80X55S Is Used
Symmetric fixture clamping
The equal 2356.2 N output in both directions lets one ACED80X55S clamp and release a machining fixture with identical force, so part distortion stays repeatable across cycles.
Balanced press or stamping head
With a rod on each cover, the 80 mm bore drives a small press or stamping head that returns with the same 3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa it applies on the downstroke, keeping tooling centered.
Position-flagged transfer slide
On an automated transfer slide, the rear rod carries a flag plate while the fitted magnet feeds CMSE or DMSE switches, confirming the 55 mm stroke position at 30-500 mm/s.
Is the Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED80X55S the Right Cylinder?
Size between bores: a 63 mm ACED gives 1458.1 N at 0.5 MPa, while the next step up, the 100 mm bore, reaches 3769.9 N - pick the 80 mm when your clamp or press needs the 2356.2 N class with a 55 mm stroke. Note that a plain double-rod cylinder drifts when air is lost, so add a rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must stay held. FA/FB flanges, LB feet and FTC brackets bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face, and I or Y rod knuckles suit the 20 mm rod; the fitted -S magnet lets CMSE / DMSE switches report end positions without external brackets.
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 ACED80X55S FAQ
Yes - the double-rod design exposes the rod-side area on both strokes, so force is equal either way: 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa, 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, and the 1/4" port matches the 80 mm bore. As a rule of thumb, plan on about 1414 N of real work at 0.5 MPa rather than the full rating.
The ISO 21287 short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so the 55 mm stroke unit fits shallow slides and guarded cells. This model carries the optional -S magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches clip into the body slots for end-of-stroke or mid-stroke signals. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke energy, and FA/FB flange, LB foot or FTC mounting bolts to the standard ISO 21287 face.
