The AirTAC Airtac ACE Compact Cylinder ACE63X15B is a genuine double acting ISO 21287 compact air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 15mm 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 AirTAC ACE63X15B is a double acting compact cylinder with a 63 mm bore and a 15 mm stroke, delivering a 1558.6 N push force at 0.5 MPa. Its ISO 21287 short body is about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, so it fits into tight machine guards and gantries where a full-length unit will not. The hard-anodized aluminium body and S45C hard-chrome rod resist wear in high-cycle automation.
For a 2:1 safety margin, plan to lift about 79 kg vertically with this unit at 0.5 MPa, based on the 1558.6 N push force. The fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke impact, and the male rod thread (B code) simplifies direct coupling to a load. This model has no magnet, so CMSE or DMSE sensors cannot be mounted unless you order the optional -S version.

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.

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 ACE63X15B to clamp a workpiece in a CNC milling fixture, where its short body fits under a guard and the 1558.6 N push holds parts firmly during a 2 mm finishing pass.
In a packaging line, this cylinder can tamp down a folded carton flap before sealing, with the 15 mm stroke matching the flap height and the 1458.1 N pull retracting the rod quickly.
Mount the ACE63X15B on a conveyor to raise a stop pin that diverts boxes to a reject lane, relying on the 1558.6 N push to hold the pin against moving cartons at 0.5 MPa.
For lighter duty in the same compact family, consider the ACE50X15B with a 981.7 N push at 0.5 MPa, or step up to the ACE80X15B for a 2513.3 N push at 0.5 MPa. The 15 mm stroke suits short indexing moves; if you need a longer stroke, the ACE63X250B is the maximum standard option for this bore. Since this is a double acting cylinder, it cannot hold a load when air pressure is lost - use a rod lock or pilot check valve for vertical applications. The 1/8" port matches standard fittings, and the male rod thread (M10x1.5) accepts a clevis or rod eye for mounting.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 1558.6 N and the pull force is 1458.1 N. At 0.7 MPa, push is 2182.1 N and pull is 2041.3 N. The theoretical maximum force is 317.9 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The operating pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa (215 psi).
Yes, it is an ISO 21287 compact cylinder, with a body about 50% shorter than an ISO 15552 profile cylinder. This model has no magnet, so it cannot work with CMSE or DMSE switches. To use sensors, you must order the -S variant, which includes the optional magnet. The fixed TPU bumper at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke impact but does not lock the rod.
