The AirTAC Airtac B52-ACE Non-Copper Compact Cylinder B52-ACE50X40SB is a genuine double acting ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 40mm stroke, 1/8" 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.
This B52-ACE50X40SB is a double acting ISO 21287 compact cylinder, pushing 981.7 N and pulling 881.2 N at 0.5 MPa. The B52- prefix marks AirTAC's copper-free (copper-prohibited) build, ideal for lines where copper alloys are not permitted, such as ammonia systems; confirm exact material substitutions with us.
The short body saves about 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, fitting tight jigs and guards. With the optional -S magnet fitted, CMSE or DMSE switches can be mounted for position sensing. For real work, plan for about 589 N (60 kg) at 0.5 MPa, or about 60 kg vertical lift 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 | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 982 N | 881 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 1374 N | 1234 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 200 kgf | |
Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.
| ACE | ISO 21287 compact cylinder (double-acting). |
|---|---|
| 50 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×40 | 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.
Use in a jig to clamp a 50 kg workpiece during CNC drilling, relying on the 981.7 N push force at 0.5 MPa.
In a battery assembly line, this copper-free cylinder actuates a stop gate, avoiding copper contamination near electrolyte handling.
Eject filled cartons from a conveyor onto a chute, with the 40 mm stroke providing quick, repeatable motion at speeds up to 500 mm/s.
For a lighter load, consider the 40 mm bore ACE40X40 with 628.3 N push, or step up to the 63 mm bore ACE63X40 for 1558.6 N push at 0.5 MPa. This 50 mm bore with 40 mm stroke suits short-stroke clamping or pressing tasks. The male rod thread (B) simplifies mounting with rod-end accessories, and the fitted magnet enables CMSE or DMSE sensors for position feedback.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, push is 981.7 N and pull is 881.2 N. At 0.7 MPa, push is 1374.4 N and pull is 1233.7 N. Theoretical maximum force is 200.2 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
B52- is AirTAC's copper-free (copper-prohibited) version, for applications where copper alloys are not allowed, such as ammonia systems; confirm material details with us. The ISO 21287 compact body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, saving space in tight fixtures. The fixed TPU bumper absorbs end-of-stroke impact, and the optional -S magnet enables CMSE or DMSE sensors.
