The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED80X5B is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 5mm 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 ACED80X5B pushes a 20 mm hard-chrome rod out of BOTH covers, so the 80 mm bore delivers an identical 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa in each direction - both strokes work on the rod-side area. At 0.7 MPa that rises to 3298.7 N either way, with a peak of 480.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 5 mm stroke suits short clamping and positioning moves where a long body would never fit.
The hard-anodized aluminium body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight guarding and fixture plates. The through-rod resists rotation and side load, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag or a second tool. Air is filtered to 40 um, pressure runs 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), speed 30-500 mm/s, and fixed TPU bumpers absorb the stroke ends. For vertical work, plan on roughly 144 kg of usable thrust (about 0.6 of the 0.5 MPa force), or lift about 120 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note: with no -S code there is no magnet, so CMSE / DMSE switches cannot be read - order ACED80X5BS if position sensing is needed.

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.
A 5 mm stroke with 2356.2 N both ways is ideal for a punch-clamp on an aluminium extrusion line, where the through-rod keeps the clamp shoe from twisting under offset load.
On a CNC machining fixture, the rear rod of the ACED80X5B can push a part-stop flag while the front rod ejects the finished workpiece - one cylinder, two synchronized faces.
In a packaging machine guard with limited depth, the short ISO 21287 body lifts about 120 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin, guided by the 20 mm rod at both ends.
At 2356.2 N per direction this bore sits between the 63 mm (1458.1 N) and 100 mm (3769.9 N) ACED sizes - step down for lighter clamps, up for heavy presses. The 5 mm stroke is well inside the 300 mm standard range for bore 80, so it ships as a catalog item. The B code gives a male M12x1.75 rod thread; PT is the port thread. Remember the piston 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 straight to the ISO 21287 face.
Quick checklist
Because a rod exits both covers, force is equal in both directions: 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa, on the rod-side area for both strokes. Maximum output is 480.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, speed 30-500 mm/s, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end of the 5 mm stroke.
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. The B code supplies a male M12x1.75 rod thread on both ends, ready for I or Y knuckles, and FA/FB flange or LB foot brackets mount on the standard face. The optional -S magnet enables CMSE / DMSE switches; this model without S has no magnet fitted.
