The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE25X60S is a genuine double acting ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 60mm stroke, M5×0.8 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 AirTAC ACE25X60S is a double acting ISO 21287 compact cylinder with a 25 mm bore and 60 mm stroke, delivering 245.4 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. Its hard-anodized aluminium body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into tight machine frames and guarding where a full-length unit will not.
The S code means the optional -S magnet is fitted, so you can mount CMSE or DMSE reed and solid-state switches directly on the body for position sensing. For real work, plan for about 15 kg of vertical lift at 0.5 MPa (245.4 N divided by 9.81, then halved for a 2:1 safety margin), which helps you match a genuine part weight without over-specifying.

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.

| 0.7 MPa | 344 N | 289 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 50 kgf | |
Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.

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 the ACE25X60S to clamp small aluminium parts in a CNC fixture. The 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa holds a 2 kg workpiece securely, while the short body leaves room for tool access.
Mount this cylinder on a packaging line to stop lightweight cartons at a merge point. The 60 mm stroke retracts the stop finger quickly, and the optional magnet lets a CMSE switch confirm the stop position.
In a semi-automatic assembly cell, the ACE25X60S actuates a small safety guard door. Its compact body fits inside the machine frame, and the fixed TPU bumper absorbs the end-of-stroke impact at speeds up to 500 mm/s.
Compare this 25 mm bore against a 20 mm bore (157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa) if your load is light, or step up to a 32 mm bore (402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa) for a heavier fixture. The 60 mm stroke is well within the 150 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, so no custom order is needed. The M5x0.8 port suits small-bore plumbing, and the female M6x1.0 rod thread accepts standard clevis or rod-end accessories. Since the magnet is fitted, you can add CMSE or DMSE switches for end-of-stroke detection, but remember this cylinder does not hold its position when air pressure is lost - use a rod lock or pilot check valve for load holding.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 245.4 N and the pull force is 206.2 N. At 0.7 MPa, push is 343.6 N and pull is 288.6 N. The theoretical maximum force is 50.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
The ACE25X60S has a hard-anodized aluminium body that is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, making it ideal for tight spaces. It uses a fixed TPU bumper at both ends to absorb impact, and the optional -S magnet (fitted here) allows CMSE or DMSE switches for position sensing.
