The AirTAC Airtac ACED Double-acting Compact Cylinder ACED80X80B is a genuine double acting, double rod ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 80mm 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 ACED80X80B pushes a 20 mm 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 from the B code bolts straight to tooling, and the through-rod resists rotation and side load while the rear rod can carry a sensor flag. The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it slots into tight gantries and guarding.
The hard-anodized aluminium body pairs with an S45C hard-chrome plated rod, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke shock. Running on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), it covers 30-500 mm/s between -20 and +70 C. Because both strokes use the rod-side area, the vertical-lift equivalent is about 240 kg at 0.5 MPa; halve that for a 2:1 margin and you can lift roughly 120 kg vertically with confidence.

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).

| 80 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×80 | Stroke length in mm. |
| S | Optional built-in magnet for CMSE / DMSE sensors (omit for no magnet). |
| B | Rod type: B = male thread; blank = female thread. |
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.
Equal 2356.2 N force in both directions lets one ACED80X80B compact scrap or packaging on the forward stroke and eject the block on the return, with the 80 mm stroke matching a shallow press table.
The male-threaded rods on both covers clamp a casting from two sides of a CNC fixture at once, and the through-rod resists the side load of an offset clamping arm.
With roughly 120 kg of usable vertical lift at a 2:1 margin, the cylinder plucks stamped brackets off a die and lowers them to a conveyor at 30-500 mm/s.
At 2356.2 N per direction, the 80 mm bore sits between the 63 mm (1458.1 N) and 100 mm (3769.9 N) sizes at 0.5 MPa - step down for lighter presses, up when you need over 3.7 kN. Remember this cylinder 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 mount on the standard ISO 21287 face, and if you need CMSE or DMSE switches, order the -S version - this non-S code ships with no magnet fitted.
Quick checklist
Yes - the double-rod design exposes the rod-side area on both strokes, so force is identical each 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 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 size comes from the 80 mm bore.
The ISO 21287 short body needs about 50% less mounting length than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, with FA/FB flange, LB foot and FTC brackets bolting to the standard face. A fixed TPU bumper at each cover decelerates the piston at the ends of travel. Position sensing requires the optional -S magnet code; this non-S model has no magnet, so order ACED80X80BS if you plan to use CMSE or DMSE switches.
