The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED80X70S is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 70mm 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, double-rod ISO 21287 compact cylinder, the ACED80X70S pushes 2356.2 N in EACH direction at 0.5 MPa (3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa) because both strokes work on the rod-side area - a 20 mm rod exits both covers, so there is no push/pull imbalance to design around. The 80 mm bore sits in the heavy end of the ACED range, delivering up to 480.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The short ISO 21287 body saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is what lets it slot into press fixtures and gantries that cannot swallow a full-length profile cylinder.
The through-rod is the working advantage here: it resists rotation and side load, gives a symmetric mount on both faces, and the rear rod can carry a sensor flag on a sliding table. This -S model carries the optional magnet, so CMSE / DMSE reed or solid-state switches mount directly in the body slots for end-of-stroke and mid-position detection. A fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock, the hard-anodized aluminium body runs on an S45C hard-chrome-plated rod, and speed spans 30-500 mm/s at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi). As a rule of thumb, plan on about 1414 N (roughly 144 kg of thrust) of real work at 0.5 MPa, and expect the rod to lift about 120 kg vertically 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).

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 symmetric thrust clamps steel housings in a machining fixture from both faces, with the rear rod driving a workpiece-present sensor flag.
A 70 mm stroke ejects filled cartons off a conveyor lane; the short body fits under the guard where a full-length profile cylinder would not clear the frame.
Both rod ends couple to a bidirectional slide, giving equal 2356.2 N force forward and back on an assembly-line transfer unit.
At 2356.2 N per direction at 0.5 MPa, the 80 mm bore covers clamping and pressing jobs in the 200-300 kg class; step down to the 63 mm bore (1458.1 N) for lighter fixtures or up to the 100 mm bore (3769.9 N) when the part fights back. The 70 mm stroke is well inside the 300 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so it ships as a catalogue item. Remember the piston drifts if air is lost - add a rod lock or pilot check valve where a load must stay put. FA/FB flanges, LB feet and FTC brackets bolt straight to the ISO 21287 face, and the fitted magnet pairs with CMSE / DMSE switches.
Quick checklist
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, force is identical in both directions: 2356.2 N at 0.5 MPa and 3298.7 N at 0.7 MPa, peaking at 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, air filtered to 40 um, speed 30-500 mm/s and a working temperature of -20 to +70 C.
This -S model already carries the optional magnet, so AirTAC CMSE reed or DMSE solid-state switches clip into the body slots to signal stroke position. For mounting, FA/FB flanges, LB feet and FTC brackets attach directly to the ISO 21287 face, and the fixed TPU bumpers at both ends absorb end-of-stroke energy without adjustment.
